Why Filipino Students Choose to Work and Study in Australia?


Australia is a popular study abroad destination for international students.  Some of the traits that allure Filipino students to work and study in Australia are the country’s strong economy, wonderful landscapes, welcoming natives, top-ranked universities, etc.

Let us find out why Australia has become so much popular among Filipino students!

World Class Cities

In 2013, the Economist Intelligence Unit revealed that Australia is home to four among top ten liveable cities in the world. In fact, Melbourne is the number one city while the other ones are Adelaide, Sydney and Perth.
These rankings were based on a variety of factors including healthcare, culture and environment, stability, education and infrastructure.

Top-Ranking Universities

Australia has some world-class universities, nineteen of them were ranked among the top 400 universities in the world in 2013-14 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.  Australian educational institutions and universities offer a high level of help and support to overseas students, including foundation years and pathways, English language support, Australian scholarships for international students, academic support and consumer protection.

Work Experience and Post-Study Work

Many Filipino students studying in Australia now have the chance to spend more time in the country following the completion of their studies.

The Government of Australia recently made some changes to the Temporary Graduate visa to introduce new work arrangements to certain students with an Australian bachelor’s and master’s degree. The fresh work arrangements for graduates, combined with a strong economy and low unemployment rate, make Australia a unique destination for students.

Quality Standards

Australia has set up a national regulatory and quality agency for higher education, namely the Tertiary Education and Standards Agency. The agency is responsible for monitoring quality and regulating university and higher education providers according to a set of standards developed by the independent Higher Education Standards Panel.
Moreover, the Education Services for Overseas Students law protects:

  • The quality of students’ education experience
  • The well-being of all overseas students
  • The provision of up-to-date and accurate information
Besides all this, if you want to know about Professional Year Program, the IRON or bridging programme for nurses in Australia, scholarships, visa process etc., you better contact one of our education experts at AECC Global.

AECC Global is a leading education consultancy and agency in the Philippines.
