Journey from Tertiary Education to Skilled Migration in Australia

This book focuses on tertiary education for international students and how international students navigate and transition into the labor market and skilled migration in Australia. It investigates how the international education system actually works, as opposed to how it is supposed to work, by exploring the journey of international students from tertiary education to skilled migration in Australia, especially in the post pandemic era. The various chapters examine key topics such as why Australia is an attractive tertiary education destination for international students; admissions processes; tertiary education transition experiences; internships; and employment and migration outcomes. This book enriches the understanding of international education and the tertiary education-skilled migration nexus, topics which are increasingly prevalent in the international policy discourse, especially in the post pandemic era. It presents unexplored findings on international students’ experiences in Australia throughout the holistic journey from education to skilled migration.
