There is without a doubt that the country is good at many things and are attracting both students and visitors to come to the country for education or tourism. Furthermore, it is close to Cambodia and Southeast Asia. As a result, it is easy to travel back and forth between Cambodia and the country when you want to pay a visit to your parents and family living in Cambodia for your holidays. Without further due, here are some of the reasons why Cambodian students should study in Australia.

 

Quality Education

Academic institutions and university in Australia are well-known and top-ranked worldwide. In fact, Australia’s university system ranks 8th worldwide, and some six universities in Australia are among the top 100 most famous universities globally. Both academic and administrative personnel at Australian universities are among the most qualified with their supportive attitudes. This is one of the main reasons there are many international students going to study in Australia. Some international 500,000 students are studying in Australia today. This is half a million students from 140 countries who are studying in the country. Also, the University Experience Survey records that 79% of students studying at Australian institutions and university were satisfied and happy with quality education and overall experience in the country.

 

Affordable Tuition Fee

This hugely depends on the cities and universities you are going to. Some suburb colleges and universities are not pricey at all, and you can afford quality education in Australia. Additionally, unlike the systems in the United States and many other countries, it takes you only three years by average to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Australia. This doesn’t compromise the standard quality of education in the country because Australia has a national standard for its quality of education. Some institutions even offer fast-track learning system that you can earn a Bachelor’s degree in two years as well. However, it also depends on college majors you are choosing there. It is no for majors such as medicine. Lastly, the average cost for a full Bachelor’s degree ranges from around 9000 US dollars to around 20,000 US dollars, according to data in 2018. However, the costs are varied according to the cities and universities you are studying.

 

Great Classroom Facilities

We don’t need to wonder why the Australian education system has great classroom facilities as Australia is one of the top 20 biggest economies in the world with a GDP per capita around 56, 000 US dollars. The school facilities in Australia is very supportive of high-tech computer systems, fast-speed WiFi and e-learnings. Despite all of these great facilities, Cambodian students also need to catch up with the tech-advanced learning systems in Australia. Some universities and institutions require a lot of self-studying, e-learning and research assignments. When many of you are tech-savvy, some among us need to catch up with the demanding classroom environment in the country. Therefore, you should be prepared and seek a consultancy from experts before deciding to study at Australian academic & learning institutions.

 

Beautiful Campus

Australia has many beautiful campuses. The learning institutions and universities have plenty and big spaces for students to enjoy campus lives and self-study whether it be at a university’s open space or library. It thus shouldn’t be uncertain that many Australia university makes it to the list of the most beautiful campuses worldwide. Some universities such as the University of Sydney, the University of Queensland and the University of Melbourne are some of the most beautiful campuses in Australia and globally. Even if you don’t go to study at those top-ranked universities, some average-ranked colleges and universities in Australia also have huge and attractive campuses for Cambodian students.

 

Friendly People

Aussie people like to chill, relax and have funs. They are exposed to the diverse background, so there won’t be discriminations against Cambodian people there. People from many countries and regions across the world have been migrating to Australia. Those countries are such as Ireland, Britain, Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The country boasts as the topper in the population born abroad with 26% of its population born oversea. The result of this is that they have a multicultural society and are very tolerant of diversity. For Australian students, they like foreign students who are extrovert because Australian people like to have conversations. If you are introvert, there shouldn’t be hassles as you can seek for advice from local consultancy abroad who often help to deal for students this sort of problems.

 

Good Weather

We all don’t know the importance of good weather until we study abroad. Weather is important because you can either feel warm and chilled or weak and reluctant to go to your campuses or plan for trips. There shouldn’t be a fuss because Australia always has beautiful and sunshine weather. Australia has mild weather conditions in general. Nevertheless, with large size of the country, weathers can be varied from one region to another. The northern states often experience weather warmer than the southern states. Typically, there are four seasons including summer (December-February), autumn (March-May), winter (June-August) and spring (September-November). Kindly plan your trips according to the weather.

 

Allowed to Work Part-Time

Cambodian students like to study in Australia because the country allows international students to work part-time for 20 hours per week. The pay is also high. The minimum hourly wage in Australia is around 11 US dollars. As you can work 20 hours per week, you will earn from 800 to 1200 US dollars per month. It is smart because you can use your salaries to pay for rents and foods. Moreover, working part-time when studying abroad is a golden opportunity to earn working experience. You can work at campuses such as being library attendants, research assistant, teaching assistant, administrative assistants, etc. Additionally, we can also look for off-campus jobs such as bookshop assistants, waiters/waitresses, baristas and cashiers.

 

Available Scholarships

Cambodian students should do Internet researches and seek for consultancy for studying abroad to know more about scholarships. Many Australian colleges and universities offer full or partial scholarships for students. When some scholarships cover everything, some other scholarships cover only tuition fees. Furthermore, Cambodian students can stand high chances to get partial scholarships such as 20%, 30% and 50% free-waiver tuition fees. These types of scholarships save you a lot when the average tuition fee per annum in Australia is from around 9, 000 US dollars to 20, 000 that depends on cities and universities you study. Students can search for specific websites of the universities’ and again get study abroad consultation which is free at WEduAbroad.

You can also see the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns city as well. Moreover, Australia has some national parks you can go such as Daintree National Park. If you want to go to a relaxing and laid-back place, we recommend Adelaide where there are many sunshine and amazing green spaces and parks. The road is relaxed and relaxing with many bars, restaurants and museums lining up in the city. The city is also widely known with its “Mad March” when the city hosts many shows, festivals and events.

 

Short Flight

Australia is nearby Cambodia and Southeast Asia compared with Europe, Canada and the United States. It has an uncompromised education quality very competitive with those countries and regions yet so close to us. The average flight time Cambodia-Australia is only 7 hours and 10 minutes.
