| As the application center for 33 universities in Australia and New Zealand, AustraLearn assists all Canadian and U.S. students with finding, applying to, and enrolling in a degree program overseas. From start to finish, we provide you FREE support and enrollment assistance while you seek your bachelor's degree, master's degree, or professional degree in any field of study.
We are here for you on behalf of the universities as your central contact in Canada and the U.S. They trust us to give you the information you need, when you need it, and financially support us to work on their behalf. Each university in Australia and New Zealand was created as an act of Parliament, therefore the quality of their educational programs and research practices are 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.
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.
CRICOS INFORMATION The Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) is an Australian government register that lists all Australian education providers offering courses to people studying in Australia on student visas, and the courses offered.
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. For more information, visit the website at http://cricos.deewr.gov.au/?Redirect=Y
