FYI… there’s no community college in Australia. The first answerer is using his American knowledge and thinking that Australia will be the same 🙂
I used to be an international students in Australia and enjoyed my study time immensely. It is not like high school for sure, since you are required to have more self-discipline on study by yourself and recommended to ask the teaching staff (lecturer and tutors) directly for the stuff that you do not understand. There will be no check for homework, but if you do your homework, you will know what things that you do not understand and ask them during tutorial class.
There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and they are tightly controlled, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content.
To find out the latest info abt course that you are taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to the Dept. of Education, Science and Training website (http://cricos.dest.gov.au). It will give the list of institutions that are able to offer courses to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. The info abt fees and requirements are available from the universities’ websites. Please make sure that the information you are accessing are the one for International Students.
Once decided on the institution, fill in the application form for the international students and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification (in English and original language). The process will take abt 2-3weeks, depending on the time of the year.
Hope this helps. E-mail me at [email protected] if you have any further queries abt study in Australia. Good luck on your studies and welcome to Australia 🙂
The universities in Australia are excellent. Melbourne and ANU are both great, internationally acclaimed institutions.
