A 2016 Australian Government survey of international students found that well-regarded qualifications and institution quality were two of the key draw cards. The sustained growth in the volume of international students reflects the fact that international students are mostly satisfied with their experiences.

“I am pleased to see that Vietnamese families continue to choose Australia as a preferred destination for study. Vietnamese students can enjoy the world’s leading education system, as well as the outstanding lifestyle that Australia has to offer”, Charge d’Affaires for Australian Embassy to Vietnam, Mr Layton Pike said. 

Australia is a leading provider of scholarships to Vietnam. There are currently over 5,800 Australia Awards alumni from Vietnam who graduated from Australian universities dating back to the 1970s. There are also over 50,000 alumni of Australian education, who make remarkable contributions to Vietnam’s socio-economic development./.
