Consequently, the standard of living in Australia is considered to be high in comparison to many other countries. Australians have a love affair with the arts, sports and the outdoors. With a temperate climate, beautiful landscape and political and economic stability, Australians really have a quality of life to be envied.

One of the most modern cities in Australia.
Facing north, overlooking the Indian Ocean and enjoying a tropical climate; Darwin is the main point of passage from Australia to Indonesia and Asia. The climate of Darwin, excluding the wet season (December/ January) is warm and pleasant; life and activities of the city take place outdoors and on the beach.
The surrounding nature is impressive; from the long sandy coasts to the endless Kakadu National Park and Litchfield National Park, which attract thousands of tourists during the dry season, from April to September.
Study on the beautiful east coast and experience the real Aussie beach lifestyle
The Gold Coast is over 50 kilometres of beautiful beaches, shopping and cafes, located in the gorgeous Sunshine State of Queensland
Over 300 days of sunshine a year.
The Sunshine Coast is along the coastline, north of Brisbane, completely covered with fine sand, where surfers gather at any time of the year to ride breath-taking waves. To some it will seem a name a little too optimistic (“shining sun coast”), but the Sunshine Coast has, in all respects, an excellent climate: in fact, it can boast over 300 days of sunshine a year.
In this area, surrounded by the rainforest, lies Noosa, a crowded seaside destination for Australians and international tourists. The only beach in Noosa is 17 kilometres long and is the most famous in the area. In addition to basking in the sun, here trekking, sailing, kayaking and surfing are common outdoor activities.
Cairns is located in northern Australia and belongs to the state of Queensland. It faces east directly over the Pacific Ocean and along with Darwin, it is the most populous city in the tropical Australian area.
Living in Cairns means living in an international city, with an airport serving four major Asian airports, road signs translated into two/three languages and a wide variety of ethnic restaurants. In the evening the premises become a real continuous flow of people and the restaurants on the Esplanade offer an infinite variety of dishes based on fish.
Buses easily reach all parts of the city and, thanks to them, the Botanical Garden, located slightly outside the city centre, is easily accessible. The inhabitants of Cairns love outdoor activities; the city offers walking trails and various places where you can train with equipment accessible to all

Universities, Institutes of Technology/Polytechnics, and Wānanga
New Zealand has eight universities that offer academic programmes, rather than vocational.
All New Zealand’s universities offer a broad range of subjects for undergraduate, Masters and Doctoral (PhD) degrees in commerce, science and the humanities. Some universities offer degrees in specialist fields - such as medicine, agriculture, engineering, etc. A number of universities have more than one campus, often located in different cities, and some have overseas programmes.
New Zealand also has 18 Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs). They provide professional and vocational education and training ranging from introductory studies through to full degree programmes. Many ITPs also offer English language training and postgraduate study options, including up to Doctoral (PhD) level. Courses are more vocationally oriented, emphasising practical experience and application to work situations. A degree from one of these institutions has equal status with a university degree.
There are three Wānanga in Aotearoa New Zealand. These tertiary institutions offer teaching and learning environments that are based on Māori values and principles. Many offer qualifications in te reo Māori (Māori language), teaching, nursing, business, health, English language and Māori arts. Wānanga offer many undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, including master’s and doctoral (PhD) level qualifications.
