3.1 Why study in the Northern Territory
Studying in the Northern Territory offers international students the opportunity to receive a quality Australian education from one of our international education and training providers, across schools, higher education, English language and vocational education and training.
While studying will be the most important part of your student’s time in the Northern Territory, there are just as many opportunities to learn outside the classroom. The Territory has a unique lifestyle and an abundance of natural beauty and experiences. The Northern Territory is also home to two of Australia’s world-famous natural wonders: Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and Kakadu National Park.
The Northern Territory’s capital, Darwin, is cosmopolitan and vibrant with all the essential services and infrastructure of a capital city. With stunning landscapes, remote communities and a unique pioneering history, Alice Springs is a thriving, spirited outback centre.
There will be genuine employment opportunities, professional and personal development, networking events with business and community groups and opportunities to obtain skills and unlock new pathways to their future.
There are many employers who welcome international students with job and career growth opportunities, including casual work during studies, internships as part of their course, and with the right visa, post study employment in their field of study.
The Northern Territory Government, in partnership with education providers, offers Study in Australia’s Northern Territory Scholarships to talented students to study in the Territory. The scholarships are for vocational education and training, higher education, English language courses and schools.
