As an innovative and technologically advanced nation on the Pacific Rim, Australia offers many unique opportunities for North American students.
Graduate study is available at any of Australia's thirty-nine universities.
Once you start studying, you can apply for work rights and are eligible to work twenty hours per week when school is in session and forty hours per week during vacations. You may also be eligible for student loans at some Australian universities. Just think about it, spend a year or two in Australia furthering your study and return to the US with a graduate degree and international experience. In addition to one year graduate diploma programs, degrees are separated into research and coursework. Frequently these degrees have a more professional focus and a student with an undergraduate degree in a different field may still be able to gain admission.
