Top of PageStudy Methods

FLEXIBLE, INTERESTING, CRITICAL AND INTELLECTUAL

University degrees in Australia are often flexible in scope allowing you to develop individual skills and permitting you to tailor your curriculum to suit your needs. Courses in Australia encourage you to be creative and critical, and schools want students to contribute their own intellectual ideas. You will be required to conduct independent and group research involving collection and analysis of data.   You will participate in debate and discussions with fellow students and academic staff. You will have to take an active role in the learning process rather than rote learning and passive listening. All our partner institutions offer counseling assistance to help you develop correct methods of study and research.

Qualification Recognition

Australian qualifications and institutions are recognized globally for their high quality and excellence. Graduates from Australia are very successful in finding career structured jobs throughout the world. Studying in Australia shows a potential employer that you are ready for challenges, are flexible and have experiences in the dynamic international market outside Europe. Australian qualifications are internationally recognized when seeking employment at world leading companies or when applying for further study at leading international universities. The Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) is the national system of learning pathways that is endorsed by the Australian Government and is recognized throughout Australia and by other countries.

Top of PageEntry Requirements

You are required to demonstrate a sufficient level of English language proficiency and meet minimum academic requirements to enter any of our partner institutions. Australian Consultancy can help you determine whether you will meet the selection criteria set for the course you want to study. When assessing your eligibility for university entry, some of our partner institutions consider a combination of your education and work experience in lieu of a secondary school leaving certificate ("matura").

Those not meeting minimum English language requirements can enrol in the university's on-campus English language school. The English language schools have direct entry exams to determine whether you meet the minimum level of English required. It may also be possible to sit English proficiency exams in our office in Switzerland to determine whether you meet English proficiency requirements.

Foundation Studies

A Foundation Study Program is an excellent pathway to university study in Australia for Swiss students who have not studied "the matura" or equivalent.

Foundation studies provide a bridge for international students between high school studies in their home country and university studies in Australia. Successful completion of the course will mean direct entry into the chosen university bachelor degree course. Often students will study one or two subjects from the Bachelor degree during the Foundation course giving them credit once they begin the Bachelor course.

If you do not meet academic requirements, it is possible to enrol in one of the foundation study courses, which are designed to help international students reach the desired university entry level. Pending successful completion of a foundation course, your place in a degree course will be reserved.

Internship Program

Complete the practical work experience or internship component of your current course of study in Australia. You can gain specialised work experience directly aligned to your field of study or current profession by working with reputable Australian companies.

You will gain credit towards your degree at your home institution as well as improving your knowledge of the English language and the Australian way of life.
