Top Universities for Arts Courses in Australia

International students can choose from a broad range of courses offered by universities in Australia. Students have the option to choose from 1,200 institutes offering close to 22,000 courses. One can study across all levels of education in Australia – primary or secondary school levels, English language courses, Vocational Education and Training (VET), or regular higher education from institutions and universities. The country’s laws such as the National Code of Practice-2007 and Education Services for Overseas Students Act-2000 (ESOS) support international students to promote top class education and protection of their rights in the country.

International students need to ensure that they study at an institute/university which offer courses registered with the CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students) which implies that the courses and the institutes deliver high-quality course content as per the international standards. Apart from the laws listed above, Australia has two additional organisations that are responsible for regulating and certifying educational institutes, and for managing registrations & accreditation of Australian institutions and courses respectively. It is imperative that you do a thorough check of the below accreditations, before you opting for an Arts course in an Australian university:

For higher education – TEQSA (Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency)

For vocational education and training – ASQA (Australian Skills Quality Authority)
