Although Perth is a large city with a population of more than 2 million, it is often overlooked as a potential tourist or study abroad destination. Its unique geographical location has set a stage of paradise on the southwest coast of Australia. With a warm and dry climate and constant sunshine all year round, Perth’s weather is only part of its charm! Here are 8 reasons why you should consider studying in Perth:
1. Beautiful beach
Perth and its surrounding suburbs have some of the most beautiful beaches in Australia. From the popular “must-see” beaches such as Cottesloe and Scarborough, to more hidden gems, such as South Beach in the port city of Fremantle, the coast of Perth is great for anyone who loves sand and sunshine. People are somewhat attractive. For a real beach adventure, you can take a ferry to Rottnest Island, a 30-minute drive from the coast, and spend a day snorkeling on the island’s beaches!
2. Lots of green space
Perth not only offers superb beaches and coral reefs, but also lots of green space. Just outside the central business district, there is a huge Kings Park where you can walk without even knowing that you are in the center of a big city. The park also has some of the best views of the city.
3. High-quality academics
There are several excellent universities in Perth. In the QS World University Rankings, the University of Western Australia ranks among the top 100 in the world, and ranks seventh in Australia. Murdoch University has one of the best veterinary schools in the country, as well as excellent projects in computer science and environmental research. For excellent education or humanities courses, Notre Dame University is perfect, providing small class teaching and personalized support. For more school details, you can go to School Finder to have a check.
4. Internship and research opportunities
Two of TEAN’s most unique experience-based learning projects are in Perth. For students studying health sciences, there is an internship and study abroad program in UWA, and a program based on internship and research in Murdoch. If these subjects are not suitable for you, you can apply for TEAN’s general Australia internship program! Over the years, the universities in Perth has placed hundreds of students in dozens of fields, and their scope is still expanding!
5. Fantastic food
Since Perth is very close to Asia, the food there is very diverse, unique and authentic. Perth’s trendy Northbridge neighborhood is home to dozens of Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese restaurants and food courts. You can start your day with some delicious dim sum, lunch with spicy Singapore Laksa cheese for top-up, and dinner with the classic “parmy chicken”.
6. Rich public art
If you walk a few blocks anywhere in Perth or Fremantle, you will see the amazing high-quality street art. Murals, templates, and graffiti art are almost everywhere, including the entire city center. There are several free museums, the most famous of which is the Art Gallery of Western Australia, which displays works by performers born or settled in Australia. In addition, Perth also hosted one of Australia’s most exciting film festivals and art festivals-Fringe Festival, starting from the end of January, for a month.
7. Gateway to Southeast Asia
For international travelers, Perth’s location is ideal. There are dozens of affordable direct flights from Perth to Southeast Asia. Want to go to Bali for the weekend? You can usually get there in four hours for only $200! It is indeed Australia’s main gateway to Southeast Asia.
8. Less traveled paths
There is nothing wrong with traveling to Australia’s most frequently visited tourist attractions – they are popular for a reason! However, if you are looking for a road that few people travel by, then Perth is calling your name. Perth offers all aspects of the East Coast, even more beauty and excitement minus the crowds!
Perth is not only suitable for traveling, but also suitable for learning. If you expect to study in Australia, then Perth is a good choice. Studying in Perth, you will gain a comfortable learning and living environment, world-class education, and a unique life experience.
