Study in Perth

Living in Western Australia

Western Australia may be far away from the eastern capitals, but it certainly has a great deal to offer students in the way of quality higher education, great lifestyle opportunities and stunning coastline.

Metropolitan Perth, the capital of WA, is only a very small part of what this state has to offer. Go south and you will find the glorious coastal expanse of Esperance, and on the way maybe enjoy a glass or two of the Margaret River region’s best wine.

Broome is located at the north of WA’s tourist trail, and heading east from there you will find yourself in the breathtaking Kimberley region. Western Australia is also home to some unique attractions, including the rich gold mines of Kalgoorlie, the cute and furry marsupial quokkas of Rottnest Island and natural wonders such as the Pinnacles and Wave Rock.

On top of that, there is a diverse range of places to visit in and around Perth. The city itself is nestled beside the winding Swan River and offers a relaxed outdoor lifestyle, fine dining, great shopping and historic buildings. The nearby port city of Fremantle offers markets, numerous restaurants and historic delights by the water. And, with more than 80 kilometres of Australia’s best beaches, there’s plenty of opportunity for fun in the sun and surf.

Free buses operate around the CBD and take interested visitors to attractions like the Perth Mint, the Swan Bells Tower and the Art Gallery of Western Australia.

Western Australia provides you with a safe environment to study and has a strong economy. It is a resource-rich growth state, providing the opportunity for industry work experience and part-time work while you study.

Perth is one of Australia’s most exciting cities, offering a dynamic mix of nightlife, restaurants, and cultural experiences, as well as clear blue skies, white beaches and beautiful parklands and gardens.

In 2016, Perth was ranked in the top 10 of the most liveable cities in the world (Economist Intelligence Unit).

Western Australia can offer you amazing travel experiences and adventures of a lifetime. From the northern red desert to the southern green forests and sparkling turquoise waters of the Indian and Southern Oceans – there is so much to explore!
