So you think it is not possible to study in Australia?

Think again!

Why study in Australia?

• English speaking country

• Very much part of the western world

• One of the safest destinations in the world today

• Cost effective living! Check out living costs including medical insurance cost, housing, public transport, etc. and you’ll realize that Australia is actually a bargain!

• Opportunities for travel – where in the world can you find such glorious places to visit such as the Great Barrier Reef, Tasmania’s wilderness, Sydney’s beautiful harbor and the largest rock in the world – Uluru? Where will you find a backpacker travel industry for students which is unheard of in North America. Simply check out `backpacker hostels Australia’ in search engines. 

• Opportunity to work while on a student visa. Australia is one of the few countries which holds the view that international students may do well to return to their home countries with not just the academic study but also international experience.

• Academic qualifications are well recognized internationally.

• Australian academics and universities are well known internationally for their research capabilities

• The US Department of Education allows US students the opportunity to use their US financial aid to study at many of Australia’s universities in much the same way as a student would use their financial aid to study at a university in the US.

Why the Australian Education Connection (AEC)

We offer prospective students opportunity to a direct enrollment service. We therefore, offer great prices because you pay for the direct cost of tuition, medical and housing. We don’t charge you service fees! Yet we offer great services. We work for the student. We continuously improve services based on consultation with students.

We are grateful to the host universities we work with because they understand that there are students who come from lower socio economic backgrounds that want to come direct to their universities but want the local services in country. By working through the AEC, these host universities provide services for the student who wants direct enrollment but still needs assistance and support.

We have created the My Study Australia website to provide as much comprehensive information as possible on study in Australia. We also provide some information on New Zealand as we have added the University of Auckland to our list of programs. Our aim is to bring more New Zealand universities on board as time and resources permit.  

We hold the view that what we do must meet the needs of individual students rather than simply promote programs that don’t meet individual student needs. Read our story here.
