From wildlife to nightlife, from national monuments to National Parks, from observatories to conservatories and physical culture to viticulture, Australia's capital, Canberra is a city of many parts. Of all the cities in Australia, you will find that Canberra is one of the most convenient, safe, and pleasant in which to live and study. Medium-sized by Australian standards, Canberra combines the advantages of big city life - shopping malls, cinemas, art galleries, sporting facilities, markets, theatres, festivals and coffee shops - with all the aspects usually associated with smaller cities – void of traffic congestion and pollution problems to name a couple. An outstanding feature of this well planned city is the abundance of greenery - trees, gardens and native bush land. There is also a network of bicycle and walking paths linking Canberra with surrounding suburbs, parks and lakes.

As a place of study, Canberra is ideal. With two major universities, extensive library facilities (including the National Library) plus major national research centers, the resources available for you are outstanding. Additionally, Canberra is a multicultural society with an international outlook. Apart from the diverse group of immigrants who have settled in Canberra, there are also many diplomats based here - as well as the hundreds of international students from many different countries. Australia's official multicultural policy encourages ethnic groups to express their cultural identity and this is reflected in the existence of many ethnic organizations - social, political, religious and cultural.
