Why Study in Australia?

Choosing to study in a new country is a big decision. At  Australian Institute of Design and Construction (AIDC College), we understand that students want not only a quality education, but also a safe, welcoming and rewarding lifestyle. Australia offers exactly that — and more. 

Shape Australia’s Leading Student City

Study and live in Melbourne 

AIDC College is located in Melbourne, one of Australia’s most popular student cities and a global hub for education, culture and innovation. 

So why do students choose Australia? 

Australia attracts hundreds of thousands of international students each year because it offers: 

  • A relaxed yet vibrant lifestyle 
  • Welcoming and friendly communities 
  • Globally recognised education and qualifications 
  • Modern facilities and learning environments 
  • Multicultural cities and communities 
  • Incredible natural landscapes and travel opportunities 

From bustling cities to stunning coastlines and national parks, Australia offers a unique balance between study and lifestyle.
