G’day,

Great answers from the first answerer describing UWA and Uni of Sydney. Now for a more un-biased info… ;)

There are only 39 universities in Australia and they are very tightly controlled, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. This means that there is no BEST university in Australia, as they are comparatively equal. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content. You may also want to choose the city that you want to go as well.

Living cost… Sydney and Canberra have the highest living cost, followed by Melbourne & Brisbane, then Perth, Darwin, Adelaide & Tasmania the lowest. I am attaching a weblink from one of the uni in Melbourne as an indication.

To find out the course that you are taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au). IDP is an organisation that gives information to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification (in English and original language).

Hope this helps. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia :)
