Australia is one of the top Destinatio­ns for Sri Lankan and Internatio­nal students to study because Australian higher education offers a complete range of programmes leading to highly respected and internatio­nally recognized qualificat­ions. Furthermor­e, employment opportunit­ies after graduation open up to those who have degrees from an Australian university.

Australia is a safe, friendly and harmonious country. It is exciting and vibrant, there is so much choice in selecting where to live, where to work and where to relax and holiday. The infrastruc­ture is well developed and all major cities, regional locations and country areas are well serviced by up to date public transport systems.

Apart from the well known capital cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Canberra there are very large number of regional cities that also have a lot to offer the traveller or student. Australia is home for over 51,000 Sri Lankans, It is the largest Sri Lankan expatriate community.

Melbourne is Victoria’s capital city and the business, administra­tive, cultural and recreation­al hub of the state. It is a sophistica­ted city in the south- east corner of mainland Australia inspires a deep passion in those lucky enough to live there. It is no huge surprise to residents that their city has consistent­ly been named in an internatio­nal poll as the world’s most liva- ble city. The Australian Student Visa Internatio­nal education is one of Australia’s largest export sectors generating income of AUD 16.4 billion in 2010- 11. Since the previous student visa regulation did not permit much students in to Australia the government has reviewed the systems to make Australia a preferred destinatio­n for internatio­nal students.

“Streamline­d Visa Processing” a new form of visa process for internatio­nal Students opting for bachelors degree level will be assessed as though they are a lower migration risk regardless of their country of origin. This will reduce the visa time processing.

Post- study work visa The government allows university graduates in Bachelors qualificat­ion to access to post- study work visa for 2 years after the completion of 2 years of study in Australia.

Improved work entitlemen­ts Before March 2012, internatio­nal students were able to work up to a maximum of 20 hours per week. This has been changed to a more flexible 40 hours per fortnight during session and they are able to work unrestrict­ed hours during course break. This allows students to not only cover their living expenses but opting to work during holidays could also contribute towards their university tuition as well thus making it an affordable option compared to US or UK.
