Why study in Australia?
Studying and living in another country is excellent for personal development, whether this is for just a short period of six to twelve months, or for an extended three year period. Australian acting courses have a stronger vocational style with a more modern approach to performances, compared to say courses in the UK or USA . For both English speaking students, or having English as their second language, Australia is recognised as an exciting, safe and inexpensive place to study, with internationally recognised qualifications. The visa regulations allow students to work up to 20 hours a week, which means that you can earn enough to live and enjoy your time in Australia.
Why Study in Sydney?
Sydney has been voted "The Friendliest City in the World" three times. 23% of the population was born overseas - a truly multicultural city. The city is full of cinemas, theatres, bars and nightclubs. Restaurants offer food from every corner of the world. A population of 5 million makes it the biggest, as well as the oldest and liveliest city in Australia. Sydney boasts the most beautiful Harbour in the world and the twentieth century's most important building: the Sydney Opera House.
