Why Study In
Australia/ Silverstone
Australia is a
constitutional democracy based on the values of equality, fairness, non
discrimination and justice, which is underpinned by a robust parliamentary
system. These values define the Australian culture and are the basis for the
Australian term “mateship” or “mate” which means camaraderie or friendship.
Australia is a multi-cultural nation
that has built a rich fabric of communities living in harmony. Some 47% of the
population were born in a different country and this contributes to a high
quality of life that is unrivalled by many other developed nations. For
example, Melbourne, a large city in the south of Australia, has been voted the
“world’s most livable city” four years in a row by The Economist. It is often
said that you can visit any part of the world without ever leaving Melbourne.
Australia has rich deposits of natural
resources that have created a consistently strong economy. It is a key trading
partner with most countries throughout the world. The resources from beneath
the ground, as well as above, including the World heritage listed tourist areas
of the Daintree rainforest, the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru, have ensured
continued economic growth for the past 20 years. As a result, Australian
incomes are amongst the highest of all developed nations as a percentage of GDP
and remain one of the few countries to have withstood the global economic
meltdown.
A key benefit of living in Australia is
the emphasis on a healthy lifestyle and the preservation of environmental
assets such as parks, gardens and coastline. These are seen as instrumental in
contributing towards safe and peaceful living conditions and creating
harmonious societies. Also, the government provides a large array of safeguards
for its people including well developed infrastructure, a high value for the
rule of law and protection for the disadvantaged such as medical treatment,
accommodation and social security. These safeguards ensure that everyone has an
equal opportunity and a level playing field to make their mark in Australia.
Australia takes great pride in a high
quality education system that is among the top five of the world, yet maintains
a population that is a small fraction of other developed nations. The education
system ensures a high quality of infrastructure, teaching faculty, course
curriculum, and extracurricular facilities at a uniformly high standard across
all educational bodies. Of the 41 Universities in Australia, 37 are operated by
the government, but all are required to meet exceptionally high standards of
academic excellence. The Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector
includes 59 TAFE or government colleges throughout Australia, but is also
complimented by large array of high quality private sector institutions.
Global Opportunities represents TAFE,
leading private education institutes, colleges and universities in Australia.
