Studying in New South Wales
When 7.992 million people call New South Wales home, you know it’s got a lot to offer. It’s the oldest multiracial state in Australia, and is known as the global cultural hub.
If you’re looking for a highly social “city-that-never-sleeps” vibe, Sydney –the state’s capital – is an ideal location for you to live and study. But NSW also offers a more relaxed lifestyle in its regional areas. Here, the warm weather and blue skies encourage you to make the most of the outdoors, no matter what you’re doing.
If you choose to study in NSW, you can expect a world-class learning experience. You can choose from a broad range of courses, including popular subject areas like medicine, business and arts. In regional NSW, you’ll also have course options in agriculture and related fields of study.
The diversity of NSW makes it a great place to study, and the state is renowned for its quality education, research organisations and internationally recognised qualifications. Some of the places you can study include:
- Australian Catholic University
- Charles Sturt University
- Macquarie University
- Southern Cross University
- University of New England
- University of New South Wales
- University of Newcastle
- University of Sydney
- University of Technology Sydney
- University of Wollongong
When you’re not studying, there’s almost too much to do in Sydney and the surrounding areas. From popular tourist attractions like Bondi Beach, the Sydney Opera House and Taronga Zoo, to everyday activities like flea markets, restaurants and theatres, and bars and clubs.
