NOW THE QUESTION… TO GO OR NOT TO GO?

WELL, it is the time of the year again after the anxieties and stresses of sitting for Form 5 examination, WHAT TO STUDY next? Or more importantly, WHERE TO STUDY? The choice will determine the road the students take later on their life.

If you are still trying to figure out the answer, why not give Australia a chance? Australia is a good choice for overseas studies for its close proximity to Malaysia. Added to this is the recent low-cost carriers that have added Australia to their list of destinations, Airasia and Jetstar to name a few.

Over the years, Australia continues to be the preferred choice with approximately 20,000 Malaysians enrolled in tertiary institutions there every year. Since 1950s, some 260,000 Malaysian students have graduated from Australian institutions (http://www.studyinaustralia.org/Malaysia/?page=2).

Another reason being a large number of Asians migrant in Australia. Hence, students need not worry about culture shock once there because the environment is quite similar back home. Add a great lifestyle and friendly people and Malaysian students feel very much at home.

Besides this, it is relatively quite easy to look for information on tertiary institutions and courses, even on courses and visa applications. There are a few organisations in Malaysia that help students in getting the right information and applying for courses of their choices.

Most of these organisations provide an all-round assistance from courses and career counselling to booking a flight and arranging for accommodation. However, it is important to look for one that is trusted and reliable and not blinded by the promises made by them.

On top of that, the visa application process is made easier by a touch of fingers from the comfort of your home via online. What more can you ask for?


GO STUDY...LIVE YOUR DREAMS!
