More than 3,000 Australia Awards scholarships are offered in this continent. And in 2019, short courses have been made available for students coming from at least 55 nations on earth.

The Aussie Government also offers various options for support and flexibility to aid onshore students in coping with the global pandemic and its impacts.

With this wise move, students can pursue their education remotely and in a flexible format without worry of contracting the COVID-19 virus.

• Engineering and Technology
• Clinical, Pre-Clinical, and Health
