The availability of scholarships and research fellowships, extended post study work rights, and the recent mutual recognition of academic qualifications between the two countries are reasons for Indian students choosing Australia
Australia is emerging as a preferred international study destination with a record number of Indian students planning to go there in 2023, according to a report in timesofindia.indiatimes.com. The availability of scholarships and research fellowships, extended post study work rights, and the recent mutual recognition of academic qualifications between the two countries are reasons for Indian students choosing Australia.
In fact, the numbers this year are likely to surpass 2019 – the year which saw the highest number of Indian students ever, studying in Australia, the report pointed out. “Indian students are increasingly choosing to study in Australia because of the high quality of our education institutions with nine Australian universities, out of 41, in the top 100 in the latest QS World University Rankings, outranking both Yale and Princeton Universities of the US.
According to the Australian Department of Home Affairs website, 75% of student visa applications, applied for in the higher education sector, are being processed in 22 days
Students also enjoy a safe, warm and welcoming study environment and the most generous post-study work rights in the world, meaning they can put what they learn into practice and return to their home country with valuable skills and experience,” an Australian High Commission spokesperson told the Times of India.
Between July 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023 there were 64,617 student visa applications lodged by Indian nationals outside Australia. According to the Australian Department of Home Affairs website, 75% of student visa applications, applied for in the higher education sector, are being processed in 22 days.
