The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Livability Survey 2012 – “Melbourne is The World’s Best City to Live”

Australia has a low population density and relatively low crime rate, one of the reasons it continues to be the world’s most livable city.
For comparison purposes, London is ranked 53rd, with Honolulu being the top US city, placed in the 26th position.

The cities were assessed on five categories – being political and social stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

Education

With the success of the new changes to the visa rules for students, all will agree that Australia is by far the No. 1 destination for Sri Lankan students looking to study overseas.

The education system in Australia is not only affordable but also well-regarded around the world. Many students around the world fill up application forms, hoping for a chance to go to study in Australia. To obtain a study visa is a difficult process for one-self, not to mention the effort required to be put in. It is a means to the end for almost all.

Reasons why students want to go to Australia to pursue education:

Strength of Education

The Australian education system is known to world-over and graduates/post graduates and professional degree holders from Australia, who are considered to be a cut above the rest, and looked upon with much respect, acceptance and dignity. Australia being a developed country has an education system which is much more developed than its own self.

Job Opportunities While Studying

Work opportunities that Australia offers you as a student are immense.

The Australian dollar has one of the higher monetary values when compared to other currencies’, which means earning in Australian dollars will help students to financially support themselves.

PSW (Post Study Work Visa)

Australia is truly a lucky country to live in. All students who go to study in Australia from July 2012 are entitled to a guaranteed two-year work visa, immediately after successful completion of their full time study in Undergraduate, Masters and PHD programmes.
This gives the student a unique opportunity, where they would be in a position to make back the money spent on studies in Australia.
IDP Education Australia is in this regard a unique service provider.
IDP Education Australia has been in operation for 40 years, of which, eighteen (18) years of an immaculate record in Sri Lanka, proves its strength in itself.
