Choose your study level
Bachelor, graduate certificate, graduate diploma, master’s and research degrees.

Certificates, diplomas and advanced diplomas with practical, occupation-focused learning.

ELICOS, foundation and bridging programs can prepare you for further study.
Check: the destination course, required grades, progression agreement, extra time and cost.
Australia’s 2025 workforce outlook
Australia is projected to add about 1.95 million jobs by 2035. Growth and continuing shortages point to opportunities across skilled trades and professional fields—especially health, education and construction. Use this evidence to explore courses, then check the exact registration and experience requirements.
Fields to investigate
These are starting points, not course recommendations. Confirm the occupation, location, registration pathway and course before applying.
Population ageing and expanding care needs support demand in nursing, allied health, medical imaging and some care roles.
Ask: Is the course accredited? What registration, English and placement rules apply?
Teacher shortages remain significant, including in early childhood and some regional or specialist settings.
Ask: Does the program lead to teacher registration, and where are placements completed?
Construction and energy projects create demand. Many shortages also reflect long training pipelines or retention problems.
Ask: Can an international student access the required apprenticeship, licence or supervised experience?
Digital literacy matters across industries. Some employers report gaps in experience and employability—not simply qualifications.
Ask: Does the course include real projects, placements, communication skills and industry contact?
