Australia is proud of the quality of its education and training. Students from all over the world come to Australia for its world-class higher education, progressive vocational education and training (VET), excellent schools and its international English courses. All institutions and courses have to be registered by the Australian Government, which takes a strong interest in maintaining the quality of education for Australians and international students alike. With its very sophisticated education and training system, students are not only exposed to world-class courses of study, they also receive specialist support services.
Over 5,000 Bruneians have attended Australian institutions to date and Australia continues to be one of the preferred education destinations for many Bruneian students.
