Study in Australia

Australia is one of the 2 most chosen destinations for Malaysian students to study abroad aside from the UK!

Australia is also home to universities in the Top 100 of the QS Best University rankings, guaranteeing the highest quality of education. This is also bolstered by a unique learning culture, where you are encouraged to think critically, take initiatives, and work together with your peers.

You can be rest assured that upon graduation, you will have the opportunity to work in the country via a graduate visa. Should you choose to come home to pave your career path, you will also see your value enhanced with an Australian university degree.

• You will find yourself becoming a citizen of the world, learning and assimilating with different cultures.
• You are able to broaden your horizons by being in a different country
• You will receive an internationally recognised qualification
• You will upscale your employability

Australia’s approach to studies leans towards practical learning, which means coursework carries more importance than examinations. Expect a lot of group work, open discussions, and assignments!

Australian universities also encourage students to communicate openly and contribute opinions and ideas in the classroom.

You will also be able to travel around Australia, where you can enjoy a mix of urban, rural and natural elements such as the beaches, cityscapes and wild terrains spread across the country.

Not only that, you will also get the opportunity to do your internship with global brands based in Australia, where you not only get to mingle with colleagues of different backgrounds but also gain international exposure through your experience in the workforce.

There are 2 major intakes, though some universities offer 3 intakes

Major intakes of the year:

• February (especially if you want to apply for Medical Science)
• July

Some universities in Australia offer intakes in November.

Do not hesitate to speak to our study abroad consultants to find out which intake you should apply in

The most common pathways for SPM or IGCSE leavers are:

1. Completing a pre-univeristy course (e.g A-Level, AUSMAT, SACE etc) or other recognised qualification (e.g. UEC, STPM) in Malaysia or in Australia before continuing with your undergraduate degree abroad.
2. Opt for a twinning programme where you study for 1-2 years in Malaysia before transferring to Australia. Twinning programmes however have fixed partners which are tied to the course.

Speak to a study abroad consultant early to learn other pathways that fit your qualifications.
