Australia: A Premier Destination for International Students

Nov 19: Australia has steadily emerged as one of the world’s most attractive destinations for higher education, offering a powerful blend of academic excellence, industry-relevant learning, multicultural vibrancy and clear post-study pathways. With globally recognised universities and a supportive ecosystem for international students, the country provides a holistic experience that appeals strongly to those pursuing graduate study. According to Azent’s Founder & Managing Director, Priyanka Nishar, it is this combination of quality, opportunity and safety that makes Australia stand out.

Australian institutions consistently rank among the top universities worldwide for research, teaching and global outlook. Universities such as the University of Melbourne, ANU, UNSW, Monash and the University of Queensland are known for cutting-edge research and rigorous academic standards, ensuring that the degrees earned here hold strong global recognition. Yet, the country’s appeal extends well beyond rankings. Australia places strong emphasis on practical, work-integrated learning, enabling students to complement classroom study with internships, industry projects and placements. These elements significantly enhance employability and help students gain real-world experience even before graduation. The focus on industry-linked education has proven especially beneficial in high-demand sectors such as information technology, data science, healthcare and engineering, where Australia faces substantial skill shortages.

Student life in Australia offers its own set of advantages. Cities like Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth provide a safe, multicultural environment and a lively student culture. International learners benefit from transparent support services, including counselling, career guidance and academic assistance, all regulated by strict government standards. Additionally, student visas offer work rights that allow part-time employment during studies, enabling students to support themselves and gain exposure to the Australian job market.

As students consider graduate options, certain disciplines have emerged as particularly popular in 2025 due to strong industry demand. Information technology and data science continue to grow rapidly with specialist master’s programs tailored to areas such as cybersecurity, AI and analytics. Engineering fields—civil, electrical, software and environmental—remain consistently relevant. Healthcare and allied health programs, including nursing, public health and physiotherapy, are witnessing significant demand. Business and management degrees, particularly MBAs, attract students looking for broad professional exposure, while research degrees such as MPhil and PhD remain ideal for those pursuing academic or R&D careers. The Group of Eight universities and other top-ranked institutions offer strong academic reputations, but students are encouraged to choose based on subject strengths, curriculum relevance and the quality of industry partnerships.

The admissions process to Australian universities is straightforward yet competitive. Prospective students typically begin by shortlisting programs based on curriculum, location, industry ties and scholarship availability. A relevant bachelor’s degree with strong academic performance is usually required, while certain professional programs may also ask for work experience. Students must meet English proficiency requirements through IELTS, TOEFL or PTE scores. Application documents include academic transcripts, CVs, statements of purpose, letters of recommendation and, where applicable, portfolios or certificates. Each applicant must also clear the Genuine Student (GS) assessment, which involves a university interview and proof of financial capacity. Upon acceptance, students receive an Offer Letter, and after completing the GS requirements and paying the deposit, a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) is issued.

Tuition fees for international master’s programs typically range from AUD 22,000 to AUD 50,000 per year, depending on the field of study and the university. Professional programs such as medicine or dentistry may cost more. Living expenses vary by location, with cities like Sydney and Melbourne generally more expensive than regional areas.

Before applying for a student visa, applicants must demonstrate financial capacity to cover tuition fees and living expenses. Current guidelines require proof of savings—commonly around AUD 29,710 for annual living costs—though students should verify the latest requirements on the Department of Home Affairs website. Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is mandatory for the duration of the stay.

Australia’s work opportunities contribute significantly to its popularity among international students. While studying, students can work part-time, traditionally up to 48 hours per fortnight, giving them a chance to earn while they learn and gain valuable local experience. After completing their degrees, many qualify for the Temporary Graduate Visa, which allows them to live and work in Australia for a defined period based on their qualification. This post-study window provides global career exposure and, in some cases, potential pathways toward longer-term residence.

Azent plays a vital role in supporting students through every step of this journey. Known for its personalised approach and technology-driven services, Azent offers comprehensive support across applications, admissions, visas, education loans and scholarships. Its experience centres and virtual hubs allow students to explore university campuses through Virtual Reality and receive expert counselling tailored to their career goals.

The programme aims to inspire creativity, curiosity, and ambition by linking classroom learning with real-world experiences. As part of the LLS session, Shekhar spoke about his journey as a musician, the role of discipline in nurturing creativity, and the importance of authenticity in performance. Students also participated in a practical workshop focusing on rhythm, voice control, and stage presentation, followed by a short Q&A and showcase by the participants.

Speaking about the session, Shekhar Ravjiani said, “Each time I visit a Global Schools Group campus, I’m reminded of the passion and curiosity young learners bring to the table. The students at GIIS Hadapsar were eager, talented, and open to learning qualities that form the foundation of any artistic pursuit. Through GSSRSOM, we aim to help them build both skill and confidence as they begin their musical journeys.”

Dr. Vijay Parihar, Principal, Global Indian International School, Hadapsar, Pune, shared his thoughts on the engagement, saying,

“At GIIS Hadapsar, we encourage every student to explore their interests beyond academics. Interactions like these help them understand the effort and discipline that go into mastering a craft. Having students selected from Hadapsar & Balewadi campuses for the GSSRSOM program is a matter of pride for both the schools which reflects the spirit of our holistic education model.”

Established in 2020, the Global Schools Sheykhar Ravjiani School of Music is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between India’s leading composer Shekhar Ravjiani and the Singapore-based Global Schools Foundation. The programme offers structured modules in music theory, vocal training and music production, supported through both virtual and in-person mentoring. Drawing from a pool of almost 35,000 students across Global Schools Group’s network, GSSRSOM has trained over 200 learners to date, providing opportunities to perform, create original work and engage with industry-level guidance using state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology. Now in its fifth year, the school has become a strong pillar of artistic mentorship, with two students already launched globally through Shekhar’s music label, Garudaa Music.

Also present at the session was Pavithra Chari, a distinguished classical and contemporary vocalist who serves as a sub-mentor at the Global Schools Shekhar Ravjiani School of Music. She contributed her expertise through focused inputs on vocal technique, interpretation and practice habits, enriching the workshop for participating students. Her steady involvement continues to support the programme’s aim of developing well-rounded young musicians.

Rajeev Koul, Deputy COO, Global Schools Group, added,

“The Leadership Lecture Series reflects our belief that learning is most effective when it connects with live experience. Shekhar’s mentorship has created a platform that not only builds technical ability but also nurtures values like focus, humility, and consistency. It’s rewarding to see students from across our campuses respond with such enthusiasm year after year.”

With this latest session at GIIS Hadapsar and joined by GIIS Balewadi, Global Schools Group continues to strengthen its focus on holistic, values-based education that develops creativity, leadership, and lifelong learning among students.

Vedantu launches Ved to deliver AI-driven personalised learning across India

Bengaluru, India, 14th November , 2025: Vedantu, the pioneer in LIVE online learning, announced the launch of Ved, an AI-powered personal mentor that makes personalised, human-like academic guidance accessible to every student. Built on insights from Vedantu’s Master Teachers and trained on millions of hours of real learning interactions, Ved provides structured support that adapts to each student’s learning journey. Ved represents a breakthrough in educational technology that processes comprehensive student data to deliver mentorship at scale.

For almost two decades, Vedantu has championed personal attention, first by transforming online teaching for millions of students, then by integrating the best of online learning into tech-enabled offline classrooms across the nation.  Students gained access to high-quality lessons, yet hyper-personalised mentorship remained difficult to scale. The launch of Ved addresses this critical gap in digital learning. Ved functions as a continuous learning companion that interprets progress, identifies gaps, and guides students through their learning journey in a timely and contextual manner. The platform draws from multiple data signals including lecture attendance, test performance, practice patterns, and in-app learning behaviour. This enables Ved to respond with precision and provide relevant support calibrated to each student’s preparation stage and learning requirements.

“Ved does not replace the teacher. It amplifies the teacher’s ability to guide every student continuously,” said Pulkit Jain, Co-Founder, Vedantu. “Students are no longer learning in isolation; they are being guided with context, care, and clear next steps. This is how we create a real shift in online learning: by delivering personalisation & measurable impact at scale, at an affordable cost, and making high-quality learning accessible for every student across the country.”

Ved’s capabilities are structured to support every stage of learning. The platform comprises four core features designed to address distinct academic needs: 

  • Personalised content curation through LearnList: This feature creates a smart, structured playlist of videos, SmartNotes, and quizzes in a sequence that aligns with syllabus requirements and the student’s current understanding. The result is a clear, structured learning path that eliminates the confusion of endless content recommendations.
  • InstaSolve for round-the-clock doubt resolution: This capability provides 24/7 doubt resolution. Students can upload a photo or type any question to receive step-by-step explanations, including detailed reasoning, pointing out common mistakes and suggesting shortcuts. Unlike conventional AI tools that only provide solutions, Ved identifies the core concept behind each doubt and automatically generates a LearnList consisting of curated videos, notes, and practice questions. This transforms every doubt into a structured learning opportunity, reinforcing understanding and building long-term conceptual mastery.
  • ScoreBooster for performance diagnostics:  ScoreBooster translates test attempts into actionable improvement insights by analysing how each question was attempted, time allocation, accuracy patterns, and confidence levels across the four parameters of speed, accuracy, consistency, and confidence. Ved identifies the student’s attempt style, generates improvement plans, and explains how targeted focus can raise overall marks and rank.
  • LectureLens for remembering every lecture: This capability transforms how students engage with both LIVE and recorded classes, ensuring clarity and support beyond traditional classroom hours. Ved listens and transcribes every lecture, reads the board, and breaks sessions into timestamped segments. It generates SmartNotes, quizzes, and practice tests that make revision efficient. Students can also ask questions during class replay and receive contextual responses aligned to the exact point of instruction

Commenting on the launch, Anand Prakash, Academic Head and Co-Founder, Vedantu, said,

“Real learning happens when a student understands exactly where they stand and what they must do next. With Ved, every student will get that level of clarity in their learning journey every single day. It nurtures the student, strengthens discipline, builds confidence, and instills a sense of direction that empowers students to take charge of their own growth journey.”

Ved delivers value across user segments, with the depth of personalisation scaling based on available learning data. Free users receive conversational mentoring, content search and curation, doubt solving, and YouTube SmartReplays, while paid users experience advanced personalised support as Ved references their complete class history, test data, and performance trends to provide guidance calibrated to their individual academic trajectory.

Access to Ved is available directly on the Vedantu App and website through the search bar, a persistent floating icon, and offering a conversational and intuitive experience.

  • LearnList is accessible Free of charge to all App & Website users and provides customised learning support.
  • InstaSolve for doubt resolution is LIVE and Free for all students on the app and website.
  • ScoreBooster is included in Long-Term courses and is LIVE and Free for all online, offline and Test-Series students.
  • LectureLens is LIVE and free for all app and web users and is also available for YouTube sessions on the Vedantu App.

Ved reflects Vedantu’s sustained commitment to delivering mentorship that is patient, personal, and purposeful, combining technology with human-centric guidance. The platform provides each student with a structured, adaptive learning journey, enabling clarity, focus, and measurable progress. The launch of Ved sets a new benchmark in how AI can meaningfully support education, creating lasting impact at scale.
