So, you want to study in Australia? The land of dusty mountain ranges and iced vovos? Well, you've come to the right place.
The link below leads to pages about Australian colleges, universities, schools, campuses and learning institutes that would be happy for you to come and study with them, (if you have the necessary requirements, points, visas, money etc). Some educational places offer more than just the chance to learn English. You're sure to have fun!

A word of warning though. While it is extremely easy for you to get a student visa and study in Australia, it is extremely difficult to change that visa to anything else, such as a working visa or even a Permanent Residency visa. Australia's immigration laws are incredibly strict so, if you fall in love with the country, please make sure you do all your research and don't get disappointed.

Note: for some countries, it is no longer possible to get Permanent Residency in NSW without having a sponsor who lives in another state!

And, of course, English plays a big part of any long term move to Australia. You will need to pass the IELTS test to be able to study here. IELTS is a lot harder than TOEIC, especially the oral presentation (speaking) part of the test, and most major businesses in Australia will not employ you unless you have fluent English.

It's also very hard to communicate in English in Australia if you haven't had any training in the various types of English.

What do you mean? I hear you ask!

British English, Australian English and American English are different. A text book is unlikely to help you communicate and your dictionary may only list British or American words.

Here's an example.

Britain Australia USA
Sofa Lounge Couch
Please switch off the light Please turn off the light Please shut off the light

Each word means the same but has a different level of popularity in the country you're in.

Or what about phrasal verbs, idioms and slang? Australians popularly use these in everyday speech. You can read some example dialogues on our one-on-one page.
