NSW boasts diverse research opportunities across industries, supported by Australian research funding and graduate programs. All universities in the NSW are recognised as 'world-leading' or 'world-class' in at least one research domain, according to the Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) rankings. These universities actively collaborate with governments, provide opportunities to students and promote innovation and invention.
Key industry sectors include financial and professional services, IT, health, education and research.
NSW welcomes highly skilled migrants who are committed to long-term residence and work in NSW to enhance its economy and communities. Although international students can apply, the programme is highly competitive, posing challenges for students to compete against more experienced professionals.
Student accommodation in NSW is usually highly sought after and requires prior planning. It is recommended to start looking for one that suits your needs and budget as soon as you have the confirmation of your study location in Australia. NSW offers a diverse range of private rentals, with costs reflecting where you live, and if you live in a house or apartment. Shared housing is generally one of the cheapest options.
NSW is a vibrant place full of travel-worthy spots across the state that you can visit during study breaks. There are many migrants (and international students) around so expect a mix of different cultures and backgrounds when going about.
