Book excerpt: Australia is currently experiencing a downturn in applications. A number of commentators in the media have suggested that one of the main reasons behind the current downturn in interest in studying in Australia is differences between Australia's student visa program and visa programs of Australia's main English speaking competitors, in particular differences around visa costs, processing times and financial requirements. As part of the Department's input to the Knight review of Australia's student visa program in 2011, Australian Education International conducted a survey of more than 1,800 respondents encompassing prospective students, in some cases their parents and a number of alumni who had previously studied in Australia. More than 500 major education agents involved in recruiting students for Australian and other countries also responded to the same survey questions. The survey sought to examine perceptions of studying in Australia, including aspects of education quality, cost of studying and living and the student visa application process. Respondents were asked to compare their perceptions of Australia with its major competitor countries, including the United States of America (US) and the United Kingdom (UK). The survey was conducted in collaboration with AEI education counsellors at post in China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Thailand and Vietnam with the survey made available in Chinese, English, Indonesian, Korean and Vietnamese languages as appropriate. The main findings of the survey were that quality of education, tuition and living costs were the most important factors influencing where potential students choose to study. For most groups of students and agents across the six countries, the cost of a student visa was among the least important factors influencing decision making. A majority of students in most countries thought that Australia's student visa costs, tuition costs, living expenses and demonstrated minimum level of funds needed to apply for a visa were the same or lower than comparable costs in Canada, New Zealand, the UK or the US. Education agents were more likely to perceive costs in Australia as being greater than relevant costs in competitor countries. Students ranked Australia as taking the shortest time to process student visas, and ranked the UK and the US as taking the longest. Students also ranked Australia as having the fastest application and processing times (looking at the time from applying to an education institution through to receiving a final response from the relevant immigration office), and ranked the UK and the US as having the slowest application and processing times. For education agents, the results varied by country, with some groups of agents ranking Australia as the fastest, while others ranked Australia as slowest (in terms of time taken to process a student visa) or second slowest (in terms of total time taken). The total time taken to apply for an enrolment and receive a visa to study in Australia was seen as a positive for more than half of Chinese and Indonesian education agents, and more than half of Chinese, Indian and Vietnamese students thought this made prospective students more likely to choose to study in Australia. Less than half of students or agents from any country thought that the total time taken to apply for an enrolment and receive a visa to study in Australia made students less likely to choose Australia as an education destination. Australia's visa process was seen as most likely to positively influence student choice, with more than half of education agents in China, India and Indonesia and more than half of students in China, India, Thailand and Vietnam thinking that Australia's clarity and transparency made students more likely to choose Australia. The results of the survey suggest that the cost of Australia's student visa may not have a major impact on students' choice of study destination. The survey also shows that when the total length of time taken from starting to apply to an education institution through to having a visa application approved is taken into account, Australia is considered by the sample surveyed to have one of the fastest systems in place. The three most important factors in deciding where to study are the quality of education, the cost of tuition and the cost of living. Australia is perceived to be a provider of quality education, but the current high value of the Australian dollar impacts on both the cost of tuition and the cost of living in Australia relative to competitor countries.

This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International students play a pivotal role in the Australian higher education landscape and the economy. In 2019 alone, international students' education services generated more than $40 billion in export income (money paid from overseas sources). Asian international students represent the largest segment, accounting for 83 per cent of the cohort in Australia. Despite their significant contribution – and well before the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the industry – international students were becoming disillusioned with Australia as a study destination. Asian International Students of Australia (AISA) suggests implementing strategies to attract and retain international students. These include: 1. End workplace exploitation 2. Grant travel concession in all jurisdictions 3. Provide safe and affordable accommodation.

Download or read book Class in Australia written by Jessica Gerrard and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Class in Australia interrogates the position of class as an explanatory concept and investigates the current state and future of class analysis in Australia by bringing together a range of new and original research on inequality and class. Two decades since it was claimed that class is dead, social, economic and cultural inequalities are rising. Though Australia is often described as a 'lucky country' with a strong economy, we are witness to intensifying inequality with entrenched poverty and the growth of precarious and insecure labour. The disassociation of the rusted-on Labor voter and the rise of far-right politics suggest there is an urgent need to examine the contemporary functions of class relations. Class analysis in Australia has always had a contested position. The prominence of scholarship from the UK and US has often meant class analysis in Australia has had little to say about its settler colonial history and the past and present dynamics of race and racism that are deeply embedded in social and labour relations. In the post-war turn away from Marx and subsequent embrace of Bourdieu, much sociological research on class has focused on explorations of consumption and culture. Long-standing feminist critiques of the absence of gendered labour in class analysis also pose challenges for understanding and researching class. At a time of deepening inequality, Class in Australia is a timely examination of class relations, labour exploitation, and the changing formations of work in contemporary Australian society. 'From colonial inequality to Upper Middle Bogan, this captivating volume dives deep into how class has shaped our nation. Through studies of the unemployed, warehouse workers, unions and school students, this book presents the finest analysis of class that Australian sociology has to offer. Read it to get a richer understanding of poverty, a stronger sense of social status, and a nuanced analysis of how gender, race and sexuality intersect with class.' -- Andrew Leigh MP 'This is a must-read collection for anyone interested in the topic of class in Australia. This collection digs deeps and engages with relevant and timely discussions about class using both an historical and contemporary lens. For anyone who is teaching, studying, or writing about class as theory or method, this book will open up rich and productive conversations. Class is an enduring problematic, both as a descriptor, heuristic device or theoretical framework. This collection aptly responds to this problematic, engaging with class across multiple intersections including gender, race and space. It taps into class as symbolic and ephemeral whilst also highlighting the material, tangible divisions that it produces.' -- Dr. Emma Rowe, Senior Lecturer in Education, Deakin University

Download or read book The University Experience written by Graham Little and published by [Carlton, Australia] : Melbourne University Press. This book was released on 1970 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the university to the 'normal' student? Is it an ivory tower, a community of scholars, the place of a liberal education? The original research incorporated in this book challenges many of the comfortable myths about tertiary education. Dr. Little conducted exhaustive interviews with 120 third-year students. He asked them why they came to university, what their parents' attitude was, whether they had non-university friends, what they expected of their lectures, whether they enjoyed their studies. Here, in their own words, are the answers. Three academic years have surprisingly little effect on the average student. He is not involved with radical or conservative student fringes. His family and friends have more impact than the academic staff. He has little informal or personal contact with his lectures and rarely wants more. He spends little time in extra-curricular activities at the university and seldom works beyond the syllabus. The university remains a static backdrop to a personal development which is a different kind for humanities and science students. This is a constructive and disturbing book.

Download or read book Culture and Identity in Study Abroad Contexts written by Marie-Claire Patron and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effects of a study abroad experience on students' culture and identity and the impact of these effects on their readjustment to their home culture. It explores issues of culture and identity from the perspective of French students studying in Australia. Issues of perceived cultural proximity between France and Australia, a relative lack of prior knowledge of the host country before the period of study and the impact of distance all influence aspects of these students' experiences. Employing long-term and cross-sectional studies focusing on culture shock, reverse culture shock and cultural identity issues, the author investigates the cyclical journey of French academic sojourners and examines the impact of the acculturation and repatriation processes and the language experiences on their perceptions of cultural identity. Once the students had traversed the difficult stages of culture shock and reached the stage of full recovery (adjustment), they no longer wished to go home. What impact has this process had on the returnees who faced the insularity of their home society once they returned home? Is the French community beginning to acknowledge the start of a brain-drain of the educated French overseas? What are the implications for borderless higher education? What value should be placed on pre-departure preparation from participating institutions and the individuals themselves, both on a linguistic and a psychological level? This book poses questions relating to these issues.
