Study Australia Course Search vs Whatuni

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.
