Welcome to the International Student Program website where you will find useful information to help you make decisions about your studies
If you are reading this message then you have already made one important choice - to explore study opportunities away from the traditional city centres
I have worked with international students for over 20 years and I can see that more and more students are deciding to study in country institutes for a variety of reasons:
- There are Skilled Migration benefits from living, studying and working in inland Australia - earn 5 extra points
- The cost of living is definitely lower and you will live in safer and more friendly communities where part-time jobs are available
-
Our inland cities offer great facilities and our transport services allow you to visit Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra when you want to be a tourist
-
Friends and relatives of our students who are already working or studying in the Riverina frequently recommend us as a great place to study
-
We give you more opportunity to improve your English fluency because we enrol smaller numbers of international students - important if you plan to stay here when you finish your studies
Here at Riverina Institute we choose to welcome international students as if they are part of our family. Many of you will contact my office to receive assistance and advice before you arrive here. We will feel like old friends when we finally meet!
I hope you will decide to join us - I look forward to assisting you to achieve your study goals
Elaine McBride - Manager, International Student Programs
