Australia
Australia was our 3rd most popular destination in 2023 and saw a large increase in applications. This is likely due to the latest QS24 rankings, which place the University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales all in the top 20. 

Nine students will be attending these top universities in Australia, with others going on to study at Monash University and The University of Technology Sydney.
