Why Australia?
Now – more than ever – it is important to make the right decisions when choosing where to take your academic journey.
Australia is a safe and diverse nation that welcomes international students. It is among the countries with very low COVID-19 case numbers and is renowned for its swift and effective response to the pandemic, as well as its excellent public health system.
Australia’s major cities – such as Melbourne and Sydney – are ranked as the most liveable in the world based on such factors as safety and stability, culture and environment, education, infrastructure and health care.
Australia’s top universities – such as The University of Melbourne – are renowned globally for excellence in education and are consistently ranked among the best in the world. They offer first class education and research programs, as well as a wide variety of courses and many different pathways to obtaining your qualifications.
Australia allows domestic and international students to undertake paid employment to support themselves whilst they are studying. There are also many professional development and career enhancing opportunities available for all students.
Why get advice from us?
We provide independent, tailored advice to help you navigate the daunting process of finding and applying for your preferred course and university, obtaining suitable living arrangements once you arrive and ensuring you have a smooth transition to study in Australia.
We offer up-to-date academic and professional advice about available courses across all disciplines from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
Our team care deeply about your educational needs and goals and understand the difficulties of finding the perfect course at a university that is just right for you. All members of our team have the lived experience of this challenging journey.
Our advisory service is not commission based. This is unlike the majority of education service providers and recruitment agencies which are paid by universities to recruit students. You can be assured that we provide independent advice and reliable information that is tailored to suit your own circumstances and ambitions.
The Graduate Union has been providing advice and support to graduate students for more than a hundred years. Our ever-expanding graduate membership is from all disciplines, life stages and cultures, and all educational backgrounds.
