Big News For Australian International Education Sector.

It almost seems like a shame!

I'm sure the beer will be flowing over shrimps on the barbie down under this qauarter as Australia's international education sector reveals a significant rise (double digits intact) in course commencements in 2013, compared to the previous year. This is of course a massive leap ahead and demonstrates how Australia is becoming an evermore popular location for international students to spend their study abroad adventures. 

English language training came through exceptionally well with a 21% increase.  And 30% of the international students in Australia are from China, although it has been said that the Brazilians are quickly catching up, and are soon to be the second most important source country for English language training in Australia. 

Now, I have narrowed these results down to one of two reasons-either the cat is out the bag and everyone has heard about the scrumptious, lean and juicy kangaroo pizza served down under...or it could be that toe tingling accent which we just cannot get enough of!

Either way, Australia is a vast fantastic country with endless avenues to explore. I took a trip to Sydney just a couple of years ago and was a gasp at out how beautiful, relaxed and unique the city was. We waited in the Botanical gardens for the thousands of bats to migrate (as they do every evening) to the other side of the bay. I took trip up into the Blue Mountains and stayed at my friends wonderfully old-fashioned house. We saw the Sydney light show which was mind-blowing and of course we took a trip to Summer Bay, where Home and Away was filmed!

Bearla International Studies will be adding Australia to our location options within the next few weeks, so if you are interested in studying in Oz, then give a shout and we will have your chops wrapped around a mouth watering kangaroo pizza in no time at all!
