World-class, quality-assured education #
Australian higher education and vocational training are rigorously regulated to safeguard international students. Universities are overseen by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), and vocational training by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA). Providers that teach international students must be CRICOS-registered. These safeguards help ensure teaching quality, transparent outcomes, and recognised qualifications.

Strong graduate outcomes and employability #
Australian qualifications are valued by employers globally for their practical focus and industry alignment. Many programs integrate internships, labs, studios, or work-integrated learning. After graduation, eligible students may apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), which offers post‑study work opportunities to gain local experience and strengthen employability. Always check the latest settings before applying.
