Australia is one of the top destinations for students looking to study abroad. The relaxed lifestyle, the beaches , the moderate climate and high standards of living makes it an ideal choice for immigrant students. There is constant debate over the best city in Australia for studies. People are divided over whether it is Melbourne or Sydney that takes the top spot. Whereas Melbourne is definitely a hub for higher studies, Sydney is no less in comparison because of a multitude of reasons. Let’s look at some of these.

Sydney is a coastal city and therefore it naturally has a moderate climate. Sydney harbour,  Bondi beach, Darling harbour, Opera house and Blu Mountains are the highlights that add to the aura of the city. These are a lot of getaways for people to take a break from the hustle bustle of city life. It is a multicultural society and very accepting of other cultures.

One of the main reasons why Australia is a great choice for studies is that you are allowed to work close to 20 hours  a week while pursuing your academic career and during holidays. This means that you can be financially independent and afford a high quality education, all by yourself.

The University of New South Wales (UNSW) has students from all around the world. It upholds the spirit of cultural diversity among its students and that along with the impeccable teaching standards make it one of best universities in Australia.

Australia has become more affordable for students after the currency dropped by almost 10% against the US dollar in 2013. There are lots of short and affordable courses provided by the UNSW that increase the value for your money. There are courses starting as late as September that offer more convenience for students. And  from a monetary perspective, it means that that less expenditure because of the short tenure of these courses. There are a lot of job options in Australia after you finish your education.  A degree from UNSW can add a lot of value to your credentials and you can easily land a job anywhere in the world.
