A famously sunny country with a fast-advancing economy and a well-recognised university system, Australia is understandably among the top study destinations in the world for international students.

Australia has the third highest number of international students in the world, behind only the UK and the US – pretty impressive for a nation of just 24 million people.

I’m originally from Portugal, but I grew up in a few different countries. Between the ages of 10 and 16, I lived in Angola because of my mother’s work.

When it came to further education, I wanted to move abroad again in order to feel challenged, meet new people and explore a new city, so I did my A levels in Brighton. I stayed there for university, pursuing my bachelor’s in biomedical science at the University of Sussex.

Do I need a study abroad adviser? 

While it’s not a strict requirement, having a study abroad adviser can be highly beneficial, especially if you’re planning to study in a foreign country. Study abroad advisers are a great resource for anyone considering education in a new country. Equipped with up-to-date information and knowledge, they can help students through every stage of studying abroad.

How many hours can I work as an international student in the UK? 

International students can work in the UK if they are on a student or Tier 4 visa. If you are in the UK on a visitor or short-term visa, work is not allowed at any time, including unpaid positions and volunteering. 

The Rhodes Scholarship provides exceptional people from around the world with the life-changing opportunity to study at the University of Oxford.

This time last year, I received an email from the HEC Paris admissions team confirming my admission and scholarship. I was super excited and happy but confused and lost at the same time. It had only been two days since I had settled in Germany after spending months in a refugee camp, uncertain of what the future held when I left my home country after the Taliban took over. 

I had to decide whether to stay in Germany and build a new home or move to France to pursue a master’s degree. 

My name is Paula Vivas. I’m a second-year joint honours BA history and politics and international relations student at Royal Holloway, University of London. As a student ambassador at Royal Holloway, I meet many prospective students who are eagerly awaiting their A-level results but are often terrified about not getting into university. I always remind them that there’s often another chance – through clearing. It’s great to be able to write about my experience with clearing because it means a lot to me.
