In recent times, Australia has emerged as one of the favorite destinations for higher education and has built a strong reputation for educational excellence. Currently, there are 200 000 international students pursuing different types of courses at different levels in the country. Education in the country offers the students with new and varied opportunities. At the same time, the students experience an all-new world replete with unparalleled experiences. The programs offered in the universities are world-class and have worldwide recognition and a reputation for excellence.
Moreover, the relaxed and safe lifestyle is another factor why students increasingly choose Australia for higher education. Comparatively, the cost of education and living is also lower for the standards of education that Australian universities are second to none.
Australia’s rapid emergence on the international education scene has attracted huge number of students. In fact, Australia has a higher percentage of international students than the US or the UK. Cheaper courses are another reason why students prefer the country for further education. The country has a national set of education that has been endorsed by the national government. Entry into the Australian universities is tough as there is a high degree of competition. English proficiency is a must for both under graduate and postgraduate studies.
In order to aid the students who are planning to study in Australia, here are some links, which are mentioned below. These links will help a student understand Australia better and also know more about the colleges and universities in Australia.
ADS- Australia Australian Development Scholarships (ADS) provide opportunities for people from selected developing countries to undertake post-secondary level study in Australia.
ADS have replaced most scholarships previously offered by AusAID, namely Australian Sponsored Training Assistance Scholarships (ASTAS) and Australian Development Cooperation Scholarships (ADCOS).
Australian Development Scholarships allow people to gain knowledge and skills which will help the development of their home country when they return home after finishing their study.
There are two categories of scholarships:
Public sector: Governments in partner countries nominate candidates for the public sector category.
Open/equity: Applicants do not need to be nominated by their Government or employer. Anyone who meets the selection criteria may apply.
You are only eligible for an Australian Development Scholarship if you are a citizen of one of the countries listed below. If your country of citizenship is not listed below and you wish to consider other scholarship opportunities to study in Australia, information is available at http://studyinaustralia.gov.au/Sia/en/StudyCosts/Scholarships.htm

Diplomatic Missions in other countries or AusAID Offices in Australia cannot provide country specific information about the availability of scholarships.
