Australia Pitches For More International Students

16 Feb 2013

Australia’s new Tertiary Education Minister Chris Bowen is looking to make changes to Australia Student Visa as the number of international students decreased to the lowest level in 5 years.

Overseas students contributed $14.6 billion to the economy, after reaching a peak of $17bn in 2009 as per the latest reports by Australian Bureau of Statistics.

"It's pretty clear that the Prime Minister has set an agenda for this year leading up to the election around the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the Gonski school reforms,"

"To some extent that sends a message to the sector that the government feels it has done enough, and the response to the base funding review reinforces that."

"We estimate (these reforms) will contribute an extra 1.7 per cent a year of real growth in funding to the sector from 2013-16."

Australia Student Visa can be availed by international students to study in top Australian universities and colleges. Requirements for Australia Student Visa are:

• Valid passport
• College admission letter
• Proper arrangements for stay, financial support and general welfare
• Good health and character
