LH Global and Grand Pathways join up to promote Australian Education in Sri Lanka
View(s):If someone told you that Australia was consistently chosen over UK and USA by Sri Lankan scholars seeking to further their study prospects, you may not have believed them. However, pivot tables from the Department of Home Affairs show that Sri Lankan students are choosing to pursue international educational qualifications in Australia in increasing numbers.
According to UNESCO, there are currently some 20,000 Sri Lankan nationals pursuing university qualifications overseas. Of these 20,000, circa 7,000 have chosen to study in Australia; securing Australia’s position as Sri Lanka’s #1 education destination. In fact, more than double the number of Sri Lankan students choose to study in Australia as opposed to the US, and more than 6x the number of those choosing to study in the UK. That is to say that Australian universities are highly regarded by Sri Lankan students than the Ivy League or Oxbridge (Oxford and Cambridge).

Why?
Graduates from Australian schools are highly sought after due to the impressive global reputation of the Australian education system. Aside from generous international scholarships and a wide variety of courses and degrees, Australian educational institutions are at the forefront of technology and innovation. Students also enjoy a lower cost of living than in the UK and USA.
