What Makes Singaporeans Students to Study in Australia?
Why fly all the way to Australia to study when there are so many courses and universities available in our own country? The following are some things to consider:
University Quality
Australia is home to many globally recognised and prestigious universities, out of which some are ranked among the best ones in the world. Australian qualifications and degrees are respected and recognised by employers and top-ranked educational institutions worldwide.
Australian universities are engaged in initiating research in many different study areas. In fact, the technology for the world’s first cervical cancer vaccine was discovered at the University of Queensland. In short, studying in an Australia University will be an excellent experience for Singaporean students.
Governments and businesses around the world seek expertise and research power of Australian universities, and that’s the reason why their discoveries and academics are in high demand.
Flexible Courses and Dedicated Academics
General degrees, such as Master of Commerce, Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, are much broader and flexible in the structure in Australian than is usually the case in Singapore. Meaning, you will have a more comprehensive choice when it comes to subjects that you study and can create a program uniquely tailored to your career goals and interests.
On the other hand, teaching hours for undergraduate students are higher than at many Singaporean universities, and the teaching culture throughout is relaxed and informal.
Strong Job Prospects
If you choose to study in Australia, you will make your CV stand out to an employer. Employers in Singapore and elsewhere in the world often give preference to the candidates who have studied at Australian universities.
There are also many job opportunities in Australia for Singaporean students to stay and work after completing a degree. Australia has a strong economy and decent job market, so this could be a remarkable chance for you to land that crucial first job before returning to Singapore with work experience to back up your degree.
Enjoy Your Time as a Student
Universities in Australia are focused on the student experience and provide a wide range of opportunities to maximise time at university. You can opt for an academic exchange program and study at a partner university anywhere around the world for a specified term. You can join a voluntary project, get involved with student societies and clubs, or undertake an internship, or do a leadership program. To sum up, there are a bagful reasons for you to get a student visa Australia.
