About Perth

Perth is a great place to live ... and a great place to study.

Perth, a modern western-styled city, is well known for its friendly and relaxed lifestyle. Situated on the banks of the Swan River, this vibrant multi-cultural city is an ideal destination for international students. The city is one of the most scenic in the world with an abundance of parks and gardens and a coastline of clean, white beaches.

Perth offers a rich cultural experience which includes theatre, movies, nightclubs, galleries, cafes and shopping. The lifestyle is well supported by excellent health care facilities and a clean, safe environment free from the congestion of many other cities.

Many Western Australians are migrants or the children of migrants. This is reflected in the diversity of the city's restaurants, its festivals and exhibitions, sporting and recreational opportunities and the places of worship for all major religions.

Perth has an excellent tertiary education system which includes four public universities, one private university, a number of Technical and Further Education (TAFE) colleges and private business colleges. Over 25,000 international students make Perth their home each year.
