Admission.ly vs Study Australia Course Search

Admission.ly is a web platform for international students to discover universities and manage applications. Its catalogue lists 1,005 institutions across 14 countries and 109 programmes. Search filters cover destination, degree, field, tuition, language, and intake; students can also compare institutions and search for scholarships. Where an application route is available, applicants can submit requested documents and follow status changes, messages, invoices, and decisions in one portal record. They can apply themselves when a form is live, or work with a verified partner agency or an institution’s admissions team. Approved agencies can submit applications, answer document requests, and review commission records. Participating institutions can maintain programme details, control application availability, request documents, and communicate through application records. The free Student plan has no platform fee for searching, comparing, or submitting where a route is available, though institution, tuition, enrolment, or service fees may still apply. The verified label reflects identity, authority, and content checks; it is not accreditation, a ranking, or an admission guarantee. Email support replies are stated within 24 business hours.

Study Australia Course Search is a free web directory for prospective and current international students exploring Australian study options. It searches courses, education providers, scholarships and careers, with a catalog of more than 10,000 courses. Course results can be narrowed by provider type, location, area and level of study, study mode, and estimated total cost in AUD. Listings may include provider, campus locations, duration, estimated cost and start dates. Options span Australia, online study and campuses around the world. Students can shortlist and compare courses, visit provider websites or send enquiries directly to providers. The directory also includes provider profiles, scholarship information and a careers database intended to help users explore career pathways and related courses. It is delivered by Austrade in partnership with Year13 Pty Ltd. Published courses must be linked to a provider campus and have a valid CRICOS code; scholarship listings are limited to those tagged as available to international students. The web service has a free plan and no free trial.
