About Australia

  1. One will experience a different culture and life style from what he has been used to. If you don't get good information and awareness about the country, you may undergo a "Culture Shock" of the "blues of new place". It is important to observe the habits, reactions and customs of people. Learn as much as you can, get info-rich but never ever change your traditional values and your real self.

  2. Australia is one of the most multi-cultural societies in the world. Over 20% of Australian citizens were born overseas and they are drawn from over 200 different nations. Around 20% of Australians speak a language other than English in their home. Although it is predominantly a Christian society, all forms of religion are represented in Australia and they are freely practised.

  3. A peaceful and relaxed atmosphere, together with the cosmopolitan charisma of cities like Sydney and Melbourne, Australia could be the ideal destination for you.

  4. Strong educational infrastructure, a high quality of life, relatively lower expenses and easy visa chances have made Australia, a preferred destination for courses in the recent times. Though facing a heavy competition, Australian education is gaining increased acceptance in the global arena. In the past 10 years, more than 14 Lakh students from overseas have studied in Australia which is a proof of the growing craze for Australia.

  5. The method of study in Australia may be very different to what you have experienced so far. Therefore it is important to give yourself a head start. Keep up to date with Australian news and current affairs and become familiar with Australia's education system and learning culture. When you arrive, practice listening to the Australian accent - it is different but you will soon understand the local terms and way of speaking.

  6. In Australia, students are expected to conduct independent research, collect and analyze data by themselves or in-groups, to raise questions, to participate in discussions and debates with other students and teachers. Rote learning does not exist and students take an active part in the learning process. Students spend a great deal of time in libraries and laboratories conducting their own research. To be a successful student you will need to adapt to these new methods of learning and assessment. Students are assessed continuously through essays, presentations, tests, assignments etc. One thing that may surprise you is the amount of access that you will be able to obtain with your tutors and lecturers. If you are having an academic problem, discuss it with them - don't let it develop from a minor issue into a major problem for you.
