Daniel began his PhD at the University of Sydney in early 2018.
“I started thinking about further study after finishing my undergraduate degree in late 2016 and had an interview with my current supervisor while still in the UK. The interview was a success and I was offered a place in the group, but was also informed my supervisor would be moving to the University of Sydney and I would have to come too! Studying abroad was not something I had given much...
Christina started her research programme at the University of Queensland in 2018
“I completed my studies in Animal Behaviour at the University of Exeter, UK, in 2015. At this time I was unsure of what I wanted to do so I worked a few short term contracts. I worked as a research officer with Frontier in Madagascar for six months, as a research assistant in the Bahamas for five months, and as a science leader with the British Exploring Society. From these experiences I decided...
Argentinian student, Ana, is a PhD student in Archaeology at the Centre for Rock Art Research And Management at the University of Western Australia

Shruti is studying the Monash University MBA
“I had always planned to do my MBA five years into my career, ideally abroad. I choose Australia as I noticed a number of key players in my industry were looking to expand into the Asia-Pacific. Having knowledge about the Australian market and industry would therefore be a huge bonus when looking for future employment. Initially, I was overwhelmed with the number of options and universities...

“I fell in love with the beauty and the lifestyle of Australia when spending two years here on a working holiday visa. Having completed a bachelor degree in acting in the UK prior to my travels, I always knew that I had the option to complete higher study in Australia, but was nervous about the application process. I spent some time back in the UK working as a teaching assistant and considering...
Julia is studying the Master of Tourism, Event and Hotel Management at the University of Queensland.
“I graduated from the University of Surrey back in 2005, so embarking on a masters, aged 36, in Australia, was a scary but exciting move. However, it was the best decision I ever made, and I have not looked back. The University of Queensland is beautiful. The campus is stunning, and I continue to feel lucky every time I am strolling through the grounds.“Getting back into the academic...
Mariyah enrolled on the Doctor Medicine at Deakin University, Melbourne, in February 2019
“After moving all the way across the world from Hong Kong to London to do my undergraduate studies, I decided it was time to do the same again, and found myself moving from London to Geelong to commence my medical degree at Deakin. Applying for medical school is a demanding and bureaucratic process, from evaluating what MCAT/GAMSAT scores are required by each university, to checking how many...
Charlotte started a Master of Science (Marine Biology) at JCU, Queensland, in July 2018
“I have now studied at three different universities in three different countries and by far JCU has been the best. I am a very practical person so I learn best when going out and practicing what you are being taught - JCU does this! The trips that they have available for postgraduate students in marine biology are great – I am going to the Galapagos islands in July.“The majority of the lecturers...

A friend of mine suggested that I contact Study Options to enquire about studying abroad, which I did and I never looked back! Study Options were absolutely outstanding, they helped me to find the right course and had an...
