Australia is a prominent study overseas destination for international students from all over the world. Many of the universities in Australia feature in the QS World University Rankings 2020. Let us see here as to which are the top universities in Australia in 2020.
According to the official statistics by the Australian Government’s Department of Education, in October 2019, there were about 738,107 international students in Australia. This was a 10% increase over the total number of international students in Australia in October 2018.
Australia is said to be the 3rd most popular destination for international students. While the US remains the leader where it comes to getting the most number of overseas students, the UK is at the second place. Australia is expected to soon overtake the UK and claim the second spot. With the uncertainty surrounding the impending Brexit, this might well prove to be true.
