Studying at TIES

Did you know that Australia has one of the highest living standards in the world? We are home to people from over 180 different countries, and 1 in 5 Australians were born overseas. Australia is a Multicultural Society and we are very welcoming of people from Overseas. You will find People from Townsville especially welcoming as we are a City with a small country town feel.
The laid-back attitude of Australians flows through most aspects of life and, to outsiders, people can seem surprisingly relaxed in stressful situations. We will happily (and politely) queue for anything. Transport, food, at ATMs, for tables in restaurants, for a country known for being ‘laid back’ the no-fuss order/structure is great.

Learning English in Australia provides Students with a unique perspective and range of possibilities. At Townsville International English School we focus on practical learning to encourage creativity and independent thinking. We would rather provide you with a thorough understanding of English than teach you what to write just in an exam situation. The general Australian population are helpful people who always give others 'a fair go'. Live 'the good life' in Australia whilst you study and get involved in sports, the arts, nightlife, work and travel. We guarantee that we will do everything we possibly can to make your time in Australia an awesome experience.

Australia is a safe, multicultural, friendly and harmonious society. Australians value the wealth of cultural diversity and social sophistication that international students bring to the campuses and communities. Great care is taken in looking after international students and helping them to adjust to the Australian way of life. The multicultural nature of Australian society means international students are readily accepted by other students, and teachers are experienced in teaching classes to students from many countries.

Australian qualifications are recognised by employers and leading educational institutions in many countries around the world. Moreover, most courses and training undertaken by international students in Australia are covered by Australian Qualification Framework (AQF). It is a system of learning which is authorised by the Australian government.

Australia's national quality assurance system is unique both in its structure and its rigour. International students, and even their parents, enjoy an unparalleled level of service and financial protection. The country is committed to providing quality education to students -- be it national or international.

The Australian approach to vocational and technical education is now recognised as among the best and most innovative in the world. It enjoys an international reputation for excellence in all areas of education and training. Australia also has a reputation for adopting new technologies at a faster rate than in most other countries and enters the new millennium with one of the highest rates of internet access in the world.
