A world-leader in
HIGHER education
Australia is one of the world’s leading international education providers. Its universities and vocational education and training institutions are renowned for their high-quality and innovative teaching, research and skill development. Graduates benefit from qualifications that are widely recognised and offer exceptional opportunities for career advancement around the world. International students in the Australian education
system are protected by law. The Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 offers the world’s most rigorous protection for international students. It requires education providers to meet very high standards for education delivery, teaching and learning facilities, financial assurance and student services. Students enrolled in Australian universities can expect
to receive a sound understanding of their chosen field, along with a broad range of analytical and academic skills. They are taught to be creative and independent thinkers and encouraged to take charge of their educational development. In Australia’s vocational education and training
institutions, students can hone their skills through practical work experience that places them at a competitive advantage. Public institutes, private colleges and some schools and universities deliver industry- relevant training programs that are developed by government in collaboration with industry. A chance to study in Australia’s higher education
system is a chance to participate in a truly international experience. Australian universities, for example, maintain research and other academic collaborations with institutions in more than 100 countries, including China, and academic staff are recruited from around the world. Australia and China have a strong and longstanding
education relationship underpinned by a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in education and training.
“Australia and China have a strong and longstanding education relationship underpinned by a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in education and training”
“Australian universities, for example, maintain research and other academic collaborations with institutions in more than 100 countries, including China”
An important part of this relationship is cooperation in science and research dating back to the early 1980s. China’s unprecedented economic growth in recent years and its increasing investment in science and research have opened new opportunities for collaboration, including the chance to work together to find solutions to global challenges such as climate change, pandemic diseases and ageing populations. In the spirit of this cooperation, Australia offers
prestigious scholarships for Chinese students and professionals to study in Australia. The Endeavour Awards scholarship program for executive, postgraduate and vocational study and the Prime Minister’s Australia Asia Awards are examples. They provide a unique opportunity for high-achieving people from China and other countries in the region to undertake postgraduate study, research or internship in Australia. Both programs aim to build deep and enduring education and professional linkages between individuals, organisations and countries.
