Why Chinese students choose Australia

In an article published in September 2007, Ms Molly Yang of the Faculty of Business and Informatics at Central Queensland University provided an insight into the reasons why Chinese students choose to study in Australia.

Ms Yang interviewed 30 students currently studying in Australia. The sample group was small but the study nevertheless provides an interesting insight into the motivations of Chinese students.

In summary, the study found that the most important factors attracting Chinese students to study in Australia were:

1. Future migration opportunities after graduation
2. Australia’s high quality of education, and
3. Competitive lower tuition fees and cost of living.
