Australia’s capital - Canberra’s development advantages

I bring you the development advantages of Canberra, the capital of Australia, and I hope it will be helpful to students studying abroad. If you want to know more about studying abroad, I will give you detailed answers. Students who apply to study in Australia will consider the geographical location of the school when choosing a school to study abroad. Many Australian international students prefer Canberra. Let me introduce to students the reasons why Canberra, Australia is so popular among international students.

When it comes to studying in Australia, the first cities that many students think of are Sydney and Melbourne. Few people pay attention to Canberra, the capital of Australia. Canberra is different from other cities in the world and will provide Australian international students with a unique learning experience and enjoyment. Students will study at world-class higher education institutions and enjoy excellent opportunities for career development in Australia's national government agencies.

Canberra is the capital of Australia. The total population is 368,000, ranking eighth among all Australian cities. Canberra is located on the shores of Lake Griffin, with a total area of ??2,395 square kilometers. More than 50% of the area is national parks or reserves. It is the seat of the Australian government, parliament and many foreign embassies. Surrounded by forests, lush greenery, and close to naturally beautiful countryside, Canberra has become an elegant and modern city, and it also enjoys the reputation of "natural capital".

There are two Australian public universities in Canberra. Among them, the Australian National University (Australian National University) is located in the capital Canberra. It is the only university in Australia created by separate legislation from the Federal Parliament. The Australian National University ranked 27th in the 2014 QS World University Rankings, ranking first in Australia. In another world university ranking that has attracted much attention, the National University is ranked 48th in the Times comprehensive ranking, second only to the University of Melbourne and second in Australia. In addition, national universities perform well in the rankings of various majors, especially in the fields of law, psychology, finance, economics, Asia-Pacific studies, philosophy, history, etc., which are among the top 20 in the world.

Let’s take a look at some official data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Canberra's unemployment rate among major Australian cities is 3.7%, compared with 5.6% in Sydney and 5.4% in Melbourne. Canberra is far lower than other large cities; in a survey of the median household income in major Australian cities, Canberra residents have a weekly income of AUD 1,947, followed by Perth in Western Australia. Higher than most cities. In addition, Canberra has obvious advantages in rankings such as "Higher Education in Major Cities in Australia", "Crime Rate in Major Cities in Australia", and "Family English Environment in Major Cities in Australia". It is worth mentioning that Canberra’s good English-speaking environment is not unrelated to the fact that Canberra is a multicultural city, and a quarter of Canberra’s population was born overseas. In Canberra, more than 90 diplomatic missions and embassies are stationed in Canberra.

For Australian international students, the cost-effectiveness of studying abroad is also a very important consideration when choosing a city. The cost of living in the Canberra area is much cheaper than in Sydney and Melbourne. Canberra is the city in Australia with the shortest commuting time and the most extensive bicycle lane coverage. In Canberra, the annual living expenses for international students is about 12,000-15,000 Australian dollars. Whether it is on-campus accommodation or students renting a house near off-campus, the weekly rent ranges from 170-210 Australian dollars. Take the University of Canberra as an example. The school has ample on-campus accommodation. The weekly rent in the International House dormitory area is 170 Australian dollars. There are nearly 10 dormitory options, which are convenient and safe, and are especially suitable for younger students studying abroad.
