Australia is a very popular destination for students from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands. There are more than 8,000 students from these regions currently studying in Australia, with the largest number of students coming from Mauritius, Kenya and Zimbabwe.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!
