Choosing an Australian course
Australia is an increasing popular destination for Vietnamese students and researchers. All Australian states and territories offer quality education at all levels (school, vocational education and training, higher education, English and short courses).
Click here for the Study in Australia website through which the Australian Government provides information for international students about studying at Australian education institutions.
Enquiries about Australian courses, eligibility requirements and the progress of applications should be directed to individual institutions.
Prospective students should ensure they enrol in registered courses with registered institutions. Approved courses and institutions are listed on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS).

Australia Awards
The Australia Awards initiative was announced by the Prime Minister in 2009 and aims to maximise the benefit to Australia of its extensive scholarship programs, and to support enduring ties between Australia and our neighbours.
The Australian Government currently invests $200 million each year on international scholarship programs which, at any time, support up to 5,000 international students to study in Australia.
The Australia Awards initiative brings AusAID and DEEWR scholarships together under the Australia Awards brand – in the interim, the programs will function as per their existing structures.
In addition, scholarships are offered by institutions. For information on scholarships, use our scholarship database. The Scholarships Database provides a comprehensive list of awards offered by Australian-based organisations, institutions and government bodies to international students planning to study in Australia.

Guide to Choosing an Education Agent
If you have decided to study in Australia, but need help with the application process, you may consider using an education agent. It is not compulsory to use an education agent. An education agent should be able to:
- provide you with accurate up-to-date information on the Australian education system; education and training providers in Australia and living in Australia (eg. the cost of living, accommodation options, transport, health, etc.)
- help you complete enrolment forms
If you decide to use an education agent, it is important that you select an education agent who is qualified to assist you.

Australian courses in Vietnam
Many Australian education institutions deliver courses in Vietnam, either independently or in partnership with Vietnamese institutions. Details of institution courses delivered in Vietnam which meet Australia's registration, accreditation and quality assurance standards are included on AusLIST. Those institutions agree to deliver courses in Vietnam to a standard which is comparable to courses delivered in Australia.
