About Sydney
Sydney is Australia's largest city with a population of over 4 million people. It is the ideal destination for international students as it offers an exciting cosmopolitan lifestyle, a mild climate and plenty of opportunities for work and further study. It is also one of Australia's most multi-cultural cities, with people from 180 nations speaking 140 languages, so you'll feel at home from the moment you arrive.
Sydney's world-famous icons, the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, will take your breath away, but Sydney offers so much more! Only minutes from the city centre is one of Australia's most beautiful surfing beaches, Bondi Beach. And just over an hour away are the majestic Blue Mountains as well as the Hunter Valley which is famous for its wine production, while skiing at Mount Kosciusko National Park makes the ideal weekend trip in Winter.
