Australia welcomes international students from all over the world and will continue to do so. But did you know that you can study with Australia, outside of Australia through transnational education programs?
In fact, there are lots of ways to create your own study journey. Let's dive into these options and the benefits that they offer.
Transnational education (TNE) is when education providers deliver courses in other countries. This means you can study with an Australian education provider in your home country or even another country outside of Australia.
For example, Alison from the Philippines decided to study at Swinburne University in Malaysia. And Jackson from Malaysia studies an Australian degree in his home country.
Twinning programs allow you to start your studies in one country and transfer to a partner university in another country to complete your course.
For example, Jiaqing from China chose to start studying with Australia closer to home, taking advantage of a partnership between Nantong University in China and Macquarie University in Sydney.
Online study means you can access Australia’s world-class education from anywhere in the world. You can choose from short courses and micro-credentials to full higher education degrees. Many online programs allow you to ‘stack’ your academic credits as you go, building up towards a full qualification.
Beginning or studying a full course locally can reduce your overall study expenses, including tuition and living costs. You can also avoid relocation costs for part or all of your studies.
Australia is globally recognised for the quality of its education providers. All Australian TNE programs must meet the same strict standards as courses offered in Australia. This means you get access to Australia’s world-class qualifications and learn from leading academics – wherever you are.
Employers around the world value Australian qualifications and the graduates who hold them. Chi from Vietnam is a great example of how successful an Australian TNE qualification can be. Her career has spanned Vietnam, Singapore and the United States, where she has worked for major multinational corporations.
Reem from United Arab Emirates is another successful TNE graduate who is now a Senior Manager in the Aerodromes division at the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).
With online courses, you can study when and where you want, often at your own pace. Online learning helps you to balance studying with other commitments like family, health and work.
TNE programs provide opportunities to experience different cultures, languages, academic systems and teaching methods. They also offer a broader perspective on your studies and prepare you for work in other countries and cultures.
