Studying in Australia

Australia, the world's smallest continent, has been an English-speaking nation since settled by the British in 1770. Before this, Australia was populated mainly by indigenous Australians, who had approximately 250 languages. Since federation in 1901, Australia has remained part of the Commonwealth realm. Most of its population resides in the coastal cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. However, the capital city is actually Canberra, located on the east coast of Australia. Australia is a great place to study because of its high educational standards, but also a great place to live because of the warm climate, world-renown beaches, beautiful landscapes, friendly people, and exciting city life.

When travelling overseas, there are a few important things to take into consideration. Familiarise yourself with the basic laws and customs of the country to avoid unknowingly offending. Apply early for your passport and any visas required. Check for Travel Warnings and Public Announcements. Read the Consular Information Sheet. Consular Information Sheets provide up-to-date travel information on any country in the world that you plan to visit. Do some research on accommodation, jobs, and of course the college you intend to attend.

Choosing an English college

When choosing an English college, it is important to do your research before committing to anything, especially a college overseas. Not only should you look into fees, courses, entry requirements, and accommodation, but also many other aspects that will affect your stay. Where is the college located? Is it easily accessible, what sort of places can you visit near the college? Can you go sightseeing, shopping, visit major tourist attractions? It is also important to research the reputation of the college: how long has it been established, what qualifications will you receive, and who are the teachers? What extra-curricular opportunities are available, especially for enhancing your English study?
