Five Top Universities in Australia for Singaporean Students

Australia, the land Down Under! There isn't much left to say about this beautiful country. If you want to go there, you should. The only questions- as with all study overseas ventures- are what parts of the country you want to see and what do you want to achieve academically? No matter whether you are interested in studying abroad in Australia by rocking a study abroad program or directly enrolling in a university, there are a lot of opportunities to learn in the country whose motto is “Beautiful one day. Perfect the next.”

Out of 43 universities in Australia, we have listed five top universities in Australia for you based on the academic reputation, reviews and location.

University of Sydney

University of Sydney’s location is best known for Australian icons such as the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, and Bondi Beach- it’s an ideal place to be if you want the tourist within you on without even breaking a sweat.

The university is situated just a short walk to the Central Business District (CBD) and is nestled in an area called Newtown, where intellectual, hipsters, blue-collar workers, and high-class executives all live in harmony.

Bond University

Located in a prime location, Bond University is a top-tier private school that provides accelerated degrees. The party never stops on the Coast with some of the finest nightlife Australia has to offer, and if you surf, the Gold Coast boasts world-class breaks also. Get ready to study hard, though, as accelerated degrees refer accelerated studying to keep up.

The University of New South Wales

UNSW is a world-class university located in the heart of Sydney, one of the most popular student cities in Australia. Given its closeness to Australia’s most money-forward city, the University of New South Wales is an excellent option for students looking for interning while pursuing their international studies. In your free time, enjoy the advantages of the cultural excursions which enable you to see Sydney like a true local. 

James Cook University

Study here, and you will be right by the Great Barrier Reef! If marine and terrestrial ecosystems are the things you are passionate about, or if you love Scuba diving, then look no further than James Cook University. Cairns is one of the many cities that stretch up 99 percent of the state of Queensland’s coastline, meaning you can feel free to search for other course or programs in other cities, as well.

University of Western Australia

The university is in Perth, which is often called the most isolated city in the world. In fact, for a good reason, it is geographically closer to Indonesia and Jakarta than it is to Sydney. It is also one of the most beautiful cities in Australia and the world. The city is known for remarkable surf and an island just off the coast that was built for water sports, parties, and lounging in the Australian sun.
