| Featured University: Monash University  Click HERE for More Information | GlobaLinks Learning Abroad assists students with degree abroad opportunities at more than 35 universities in Australia, New Zealand and the U.K. Our expertise has developed from our well-established relationships with our partner universities and more than 20 years of sending students abroad. These top-ranked universities have appointed us to provide you with information on living and studying at their university, and we can easily refer you to the applications and details you need in order to apply to the universities of your choice. Enrollment is ultimately determined by each institution. We are here to provide you with a list of bundled services, including help with your housing, travel and living abroad. We will be working with you from the time you begin your search for a program until you depart for your degree abroad. Each university in Australia and New Zealand was created as an act of Parliament, therefore the quality of their educational programs and research practices ar highly regulated by their national and/or state governments. All the universities we work with are accredited within their country and their college degrees are recognized around the world. The Australian and New Zealand institutions are on the British system, and both countries maintain strong academic reputations throughout the world. The U.K. education system is respected and valued all over the world. There are many independent organizations who regularly inspect and accredit the institutions and courses, to ensure standards remain high. For professional areas of study that require licensure (education, health-related fields, social work, etc), we recommend checking with your home country's, state's, or province's accrediting or licensing body to see if the universities that interest you are recognized by their organization or what the process would be to receive that recognition. All the programs are recognized and accredited by Australia or New Zealand's appropriate accrediting organization, and in most cases should be transferable back to your home country.

The Australian Government established this to ensure the quality of the programs administered by the institutions in Australia. All of the universities must have CRICOS approval on their degree programs to receive funding from the government.
