Increase in the Number of International Students is Driving the Market
Australia has been one of the most favored study-abroad destinations among Indians and students from other countries like China, Nepal, Brazil, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and others.

In terms of world-class education, economic growth, and standard of living, it remains to be as one of the best countries. Australia has top-ranked institutions, globally recognized qualifications, and an abundance of scholarships when it comes to education. Students from all over the world are pursuing short-term English language courses, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in Australia. The country now has over 384,000 international students from more than 140 countries.
Australia has some of the highest living standards globally, and the living expenses and tuition fees in Australia are lower than in the United States. When it comes to safety, the crime rate is much lower in Australia than in the United States. Furthermore, Australia allows its students to work on and off-campus employment for up to 20 hours per week during their studies and 40 hours per week during holidays, which is why a lot of international students prefer studying in Australia. This is expected to grow the market during the forecasted period.
Higher Education Student Loans Continue to Boost the Growth of this Market
Throughout Australia's enrolment history, the majority of international students have enrolled in higher education. Australia's high level of education, VET (Vocational Education and Training) industry-driven learning and skills, multicultural society, and post-study career opportunities make it an ideal destination for international students. The top source countries contributing to international students in Australia are India and China. Enrolment applications for higher education from other countries are also increasing in Australian Universities. Like the United Kingdom, Australia has expanded post-study work rights, allowing students in certain courses to stay in Australia longer after completing their studies.
Australia's attractiveness as an educational destination for international students is based on its academic excellence, rich cultural experiences, and potential for personal and professional development. Nevertheless, it necessitates careful planning to maintain the quality of education and support services for this rapidly growing population. Australia has a robust economy and a wide range of industries, which opens doors to plenty of opportunities for international students to gain work experience. Australia remains a beacon for students worldwide, building a global community of students and future leaders. A significant number of students are heading to Australia in 2024. This is expected to boost the demand for this market during the forecasted period.
