Perth is home to four public universities, one private university, and several other specialist and technical schools across the cityscape. The University of Western Australia places in the top 100 of most international rankings, and is widely regarded as one of the best research institutions in the Pacific region. Curtin University and Murdoch University also find their way into many global rankings, and can be equally rewarding destinations where to study abroad in Perth.

If you enroll at one of these major universities, then you will have the option of selecting from a full course catalogue while you study abroad in Perth (one of the major benefits of studying in an English-speaking country). While the range of subjects that you can pursue is thus wide open, some of the most common fields in which international students enroll in courses tend to include Australian studies, environmental studies, international business, health sciences, and the liberal arts.

Some study abroad programs in Perth will alternatively give you the opportunity to enroll in a smaller international school as opposed to a full university, where you can benefit from enrolling in courses specifically tailored for international students. While the course-load will be more limited, this can be a nice way to get an introductory education to the city that might otherwise be overlooked within larger universities.
