EXCELLENCE IN AUSTRALIAN EDUCATION
An underlying strength of Australian universities and
vocational institutions is the quality and sheer diversity of
research. Australian researchers, the majority of whom are found
in universities, produced two and a half per cent of the world
scientific papers over the five years to 1994 - a remarkable
achievement if you consider Australia's population is only 19
million.
The strength of Australian research includes:
|
•
|
A focus on curiosity-driven and
strategic research |
|
•
|
The allocation of significant funding through competitive process open to all universities |
|
•
|
A diversity of funding sources |
|
•
|
Increasing emphasis on collaboration between industry, science agencies and universities |
 Australia
has produced seven Nobel Prize winners - mainly in physiology,
medicine, chemistry and physics. Australia's expertise in areas
as diverse as mining, agriculture, solar power, photonics,
biotechnology, avionics, and environmental technology is also
widely acknowledged.
Australia has a long and well-developed tradition of
delivering high-quality education to international students.
Employers regard students who have studied in Australia as more
independent, strategic thinkers as well as high fluency in
English. Students benefit from close interaction with their
lecturers and a comparatively low student to teacher ratio.
Campuses are modern and are well equipped with the latest
technology and facilities to make your student years the
experience of a lifetime. |
