See Yourself Learning in Canberra

Canberra, Australia's Capital, has long recognised that the knowledge and skills that derive from a strong education infrastructure are major contributors to economic performance. Education is not only vital for the development of knowledge-based industries, but increasingly is an important and highly successful export industry in its own right.

Canberra has a strong reputation as a premier destination for students—both nationally and internationally—with a wide range of high quality and well-regarded institutions and education providers. Public and independent primary and secondary schools in Canberra and the region also have enrolments of students from all over the world.

For international students, Canberra provides a rich multicultural society, a safe environment and has a strong reputation for quality education with flexible learning pathways.

There are over 9,000 overseas students enrolled at educational institutions across Canberra. Enrolments in tertiary level courses in the university sector—graduate certificate and diploma, bachelor and post-graduate studies, make up the bulk of student enrolments.
