Australian Universities Offer High Demand Courses Across Various Sectors

After the strict closure of its boundaries during the pandemic, Australia has steered into engagement with India across all fronts by signing the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA). The country will build the education trade by extending post-study work rights for STEM graduates.

The universities in Australia have played a major role in welcoming back students to campus. Deakin University, for example, shares a special bond with India for the past 28 years with 37% of international students being Indians. Australian universities offer courses to students that are in high demand across industries.

Australia will also start a dual degree programme with India that will allow students to pursue one or two-year degrees in these countries. Masters in Public Health is a course that has achieved significant popularity among students post-pandemic. The interest of students in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, data analytics and cyber security, which involves both practical and project-based learning is significantly growing.

The top choices among STEM courses for the previous year's bachelor's courses were Computer Science and Software Engineering. The demand in Australia for a skilled workforce in IT, science and engineering are on the rise. The first-class bachelor's STEM degree holders can now stay for three years after completing their studies.

Though the STEM courses hold centre stage, the non-STEM courses such as arts, humanities and social sciences have also become more important than ever. Studying these subjects is thought-provoking, life-changing and engaging. Universities are constantly trying to introduce new courses that will boost students’ interest in arts and education. They also provide opportunities to combine their arts degree with science, law, IT and commerce to expand their thinking capabilities.

Australia has a robust infrastructure for research and contributes 2.7% to the world’s total scientific research output. There is also immense potential for research in social science and humanities and aim towards a positive outcome for society, culture and economy.

The Prime Ministers of both countries have recently announced the setting up of an education task force that will facilitate the benefits of the students,  the recognition of qualifications, licensing and registration process between the professional service bodies

In 2022, the Australian government provided a visa fee waiver for two months to students flying to Australia. Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 495)  holders were eligible to apply for a replacement visa. The government also proposed to increase stay back period for Temporary Graduate Visa from 2 to 3 years and VET (Vocational Education and Training) visa holders to 2 years.
