ANZ Transforming Global Education: A New Horizon for Indian Students

University Living reveals a report on education in Australia and New Zealand, spotlighting increased opportunities for Indian students. The report elaborates on policy shifts boosting international enrollments, outlining strategic steps by both nations to position themselves as premier global education hubs focused on career advancement and student accommodation.

University Living, a global student housing managed marketplace, has released its latest report, 'Beyond Beds & Benches - Decoding ANZ's Education System', emphasizing the evolving higher education landscape in Oceania. New Zealand and Australia are seeing increased international student enrollments, particularly from India, highlighting important opportunities and challenges for universities, policymakers, and accommodation providers.

Saurabh Arora, the Founder and CEO of University Living, noted, 'Australia and New Zealand are implementing strategic measures to attract international students. This includes policies that simplify their study-abroad experience and bolster post-study career prospects. New Zealand's improved visa processes and the NZ$10,000 scholarships for outstanding Indian students demonstrate this commitment. Simultaneously, Australia's strong global standing in international education and favorable migration policies ensure it remains a preferred choice for Indian students.'

These policy changes, aimed particularly at Indian students, underscore the increasing interest in study opportunities in these regions. Australia's extended post-study work rights and New Zealand's streamlined visa paths provide significant opportunities for students pursuing global education and career advancements. Both nations also focus on industry-driven education to better equip graduates with essential skills, enhancing their employability.

Australia and New Zealand compete with the US, UK, and Canada as top educational destinations. They're heavily investing in education infrastructure, student support services, and international collaborations to solidify their status as global education leaders, enriched by contributions from countries like India, China, Nepal, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
