Study OptionsSix months, twelve months or even three years studying in one of the most beautiful countries in the world? It
is possible! You decide how your academic career is going to look like. The possibilities are endless. You are
welcome to have a look below for the most common options. For most options, you are required to possess
suitable university entry qualifications like A-levels. Our study specialists are happy to assess your qualification in
regards to your desired course in Australia and New Zealand.
Study AbroadWould you like to add something special to your bachelor or master course at home? Then chose the Study
Abroad option. You can study one or two semesters at a university in Australia or New Zealand while choosing the
papers you like. If your home university agrees, you may even be able to take courses that allow a transfer of the
credits you earned Down Under towards your degree at home.
BachelorYou finished high school and consider studying? Then apply for a bachelor degree course in Australia or New
Zealand. In this case, you choose to spend a longer period abroad as a bachelor degree takes three to four years
to complete. This leaves you plenty of time to learn a lot, get to know other (international) students and explore the
country and its culture.
MasterYou obtained your bachelor degree and would like to complete a master? Then it is a great idea to follow a
master degree course abroad, for example in Australia or New Zealand, which builds your CV even stronger
than a master at home through the added international experience and cultural knowledge you will gain. In ad-
dition, there are many master opportunities in Australia and New Zealand that take only one year to complete.
Master of Business Administration (MBA)Have you worked for a few years and would like to gain more knowledge about your specialisation? Then consi-
dering a MBA is definitely worth your time and effort. You will gain profound knowledge of current management
techniques and learn how to apply them innovatively. With this title, you can improve your chances on the employ-
ment market significantly, especially if you obtained it in an international environment.
(Post) Graduate Certificate / DiplomaWould you like to extend your knowledge based on your bachelor but you are not interested in following a mas-
ter? Then consider following one (or more) certificate or diploma courses. In Australia and New Zealand, there
are many suitable opportunities available.

Australia
Down UnderNew ZealandNew Zealand is not only the safest country in the world but also one of the most beautiful ones. The beauti-
ful nature is overwhelming and extremely varied. Within one day, you can relax on a white, sandy beach (or
a black one), visit a volcano or stroll through a lush, green subtropical rainforest. This makes New Zealand
unique!
Outdoor SportsNext to the rich Maori culture, New Zealand is famous for the Kiwi: the national bird of New Zealand who lend
its name not only to the fruit but also to the people. Like the bird, New Zealanders love being outside close to
nature. It is not for nothing that many (extreme) outdoor sports have been invented in New Zealand!
StudyingStudying or perfecting one’s English in New Zealand is very popular. Every hear, thousands of young peo-
ple from Europe come to New Zealand to study and to have the experience of their lifetimes. New Zealand
is a good choice as the educational level is high and matches the European study paths very well. In ad-
dition to the western culture, you study together with people from every corner of the world which gives
you the opportunity to make many international friends while working on your professional career. Reasons
enough to choose New Zealand as your place to study!
Australia
Studying has never been this great!
AustraliaStunning beaches, unique cities and the endless outback - which other country triggers our
imagination more than Australia? According to many, this is the most beautiful country in the
world, and this can indeed be true!
HospitableNext to kangaroos and koalas, Australia is well known for its relaxed culture. The motto of the
average Australian is not for nothing: “no worries, mate!”. Furthermore, Australians are very welco-
ming and open. Before you know it, you will be invited to a barbecue or a sport competition.
StudiyngStudying or perfecting your English in Australia is very popular. Many international students already
went there for their education. The course level is high, the universities are widely recognized and
reputable and the course choice is huge. The quality of an Australian education is very good and
international students are supported very well. No wonder that there are so many international
students choosing Australia for their education!
Testimonials“I still look
back every day to this time in this beautiful
country!”
I studied together with a friend at the ‘Billy Blue College’ in Sydney. I did the course ‘Design Fundamentals’. Think of papers such as Photoshop, Illustrator and indesign. I chose for this course because I wanted to de-velop my creative side through mastering these computer programmes. I lived with about 50 students in a student house in Sydney and I had a fantastic time there. Every evening was convivial. I enjoyed a great view over Sydney to the Harbour Bridge and the famous Bondi Beach just a 15 min. walk away. It couldn’t have been better.
Student Down Under informed us very well regarding the costs involved, the trip to Australia and the local way of living. Next to this, they had good contacts to various schools and this is why we came to the Billy Blue College.
This whole trip was a great experience! You get to know yourself and we could explore a lot of the country. Next to studying, we travelled along the East coast in one month. Highlights were skydiving in Cairns, the Whits-undays, Fraser Island, rafting in Tully, the Great Ocean Road near Mel-bourne and much more. Not to forget celebrating New Year at the Har-bour Bridge!! Every day was a new day to fully enjoy! Today, I still look back every day to this time in this beautiful country between the Koala’s Aborigines, Kangaroos, barbecues, strand, sun and that wonderful ‘no wor-ries’ mentality.
Aniek
Two times, I didn’t get a place to study medicine. Many Dutch students in a similar situation try to obtain a place in Belgium. Not me, then after I heard of the service offered by Student Down Under, I chose to study in New Zealand.
The combination of international students and the friendly Kiwi’s (New Zealanders) makes Auckland a great city to study in. It was a very cool experience. I can only recommend it to everyone; the staff at Stu-dent Down Under assist you for free and give you ac-cess to a whole lot of very valuable information.Follow Student Down Under online via:
