Parents will also take comfort in the fact that Perth offers a friendly, safe and clean environment. It also offers a relatively low cost of living. In fact Perth is the most cost effective education option in Australia - and also much cheaper than Canada, the UK or the USA, for example. Many parents are take the opportunity to visit their sons and daughters while they are studying here and enjoy travelling to many of WA's fascinating and beautiful tourist destinations.

Scholarship Providers

Due to WA's high academic standards, scholarship providers are increasingly choosing Perth as the preferred destination for students they are sponsoring. The PEC member institutions have an excellent track record in delivering high quality courses at the various age and academic levels. Whatever the content and level of studies being undertaken, the life experience in Perth incorporates a unique balance of "good learning and good living". This has a profound and positive effect on the international students who come to Perth. Furthermore the degree of satisfaction experienced by scholarship providers around the world is widely recognised and steadily increasing.

Member Institutions

Perth Education City's member institutions benefit from an additional means of outreach and communication with potential students around the world. This is achieved through a network of co-operative links with overseas institutions, overseas representatives, government agencies and key individuals, and through the co-ordination of WA's representation at education fairs and other promotional events held in major cities overseas. Both through the new strategic alliance with IDP and through the network of overseas representatives, PEC members can now more effectivly reach students in existing markets and help provide access to students in new markets. Perth's educational institutions have every reason to be proud, not only of the quality and range of services they provide, but also of the uniquely balanced quality of life that their State and its capital city offers to international students. It used to be said that the Perth "learning and lifestyle experience" was one of international education's best kept secrets. Well, it isn't a secret anymore.
