5 Reasons to Study in Sydney

Make connections in Australia’s most multicultural city

Home to around five million people and some of the biggest companies in the world, Sydney is as diverse as it gets in Australia. More than one-third of the city’s residents were born overseas and a language other than English is spoken in one in three Sydney households. This makes it a great destination for international students who are keen to network and enjoy new experiences.

Jump into Australia’s services boom

Sydney has benefited from the huge increase in demand for services worldwide over the past 20 years, as the finance, insurance, health, education, information media and telecommunications industries have created more jobs in the city.
As an international city with close links to Asia, Sydney hosts the regional headquarters of over 600 international companies. In the future, Sydney’s ‘knowledge hubs’ will continue to expand, offering great employment opportunities.

Take advantage of high wages

Sydney’s residents earn the fourth-highest salaries in the world, which may have something to do with the fact that it has experienced 22 years of economic growth. Plus, the rising share of knowledge jobs in the city is forecasted to increase wages even further. When studying in Sydney, you’ll gain experience in a competitive and dynamic labour market that will help prepare you for the jump to full-time employment.

Sydney is also a beautiful, relaxed place to study

Settle down at the Royal Botanic Gardens for a chilled study session with some breathtaking waterfront views. Alternatively, relax amongst sculptures and flowering lilies at Wendy’s Secret Garden, or the tranquil surrounds of the Chinese Garden of Friendship, right by Sydney’s Chinatown. Centennial Parklands is also a beautiful study space.

Sydney is a thriving transport hub

As a major city, Sydney is very well-connected. So, if you choose to live and study in Sydney, you’ll have no trouble getting around. You’ll find buses, trains and ferries that take you through the city, and to mountain getaways, the countryside
and beyond. Conveniently, trains also run from Sydney Airport to Sydney’s Central Station. Generally, Sydney’s train, bus and ferry services operate regularly, running late into the night.
