Studying in Australian Capital Territory
There are many reasons to study in Canberra. The ACT is known as the ‘most educated state’ in Australia due to its large and well-regarded university sector. Not only is the ACT an amazing place to study, but it’s a diverse, interesting and fulfilling location to live, too.
Canberra, Australia’s capital city, is rich in history and culture. On the days you’re not studying for your dream job, you’ll have plenty of things to do. Spend days off exploring the city, going for long walks and trying local cafes.
Canberra is home to the Australian War Memorial, a world-class war museum, shrine and history archive of Australian soldiers who served in World War I and II. Once you’ve commemorated those who served our country, you can take a hike up to the Mount Ainslie lookout. It’s right behind the war memorial and serves beautiful views of the city.
If adventuring is more your style, take a drive along the Sapphire Coast. Here you’ll find rolling hills, breathtaking beaches and interesting caves!
While there is only one public TAFE in Canberra, the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT), its extensive range of courses is more than enough for the ACT’s small population. There are other registered training organisations (RTOs) that also provide accredited TAFE courses in ACT. Courses are available in a range of different qualifications and study methods, making studying easy for anyone thinking of studying a TAFE course in ACT.
