Why Australia remains a top choice for Indian students seeking a quality education and a future abroad

Australia is home to eight of the world's top 100 universities and has one of the most straightforward post study work and skilled migration systems in the world. The Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) gives graduates up to 4 years of unrestricted work rights, and Australia's points based SkillSelect system provides a clear pathway to Permanent Residency.

For Indian students, Australia offers the combination of high academic standards, a safe and multicultural environment, strong graduate employment outcomes, and one of the most generous post study work entitlements of any country. Over 100,000 Indian students study in Australia each year.
