Study In Australia | Things To Know Before Embarking On Your Australia Overseas Study Dream

But, there are some students who are determined to pursue their higher education overseas and try to circumvent their feelings of homesickness by finding the locales that provide the comforts of home. Now, it’s confirmed that Australia is one such locale where Singaporean students love to go to pursue their higher studies.

In 2013, an Open Doors report revealed that Singapore was the 7th top country across the globe sending its students down under.
