What uni offers
Life is full of possibilities - people who graduate from university stand a better chance of realising them.
There are many great reasons for going to university. Perhaps you want to reach the top of a profession, broaden your mind, become a public leader, or gain financial security. Higher qualifications improve your career prospects and earning potential. You can start from a good base salary too: the median annual starting salary for an Australian university graduate is $49, 000*.
University gives you the opportunity to develop new skills and advanced knowledge in your chosen subject areas, and is a fabulous social experience. Many of the people you meet at uni become friends for life.
Whatever your goals, going to uni can enhance your opportunities in many ways. At university you can:
- develop specific knowledge in a chosen field
- increase your understanding of the world we live in
- make lifelong friends
- embark on new experiences
- study overseas - for inspiration, read about our Student Exchange Program!
- develop contacts who will help you forge a career
