Education services are Australia’s third largest export earner, behind coal and iron ore, bringing around $16 billion dollars to the Australian economy, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics 2010-2011.

studylane is a brand new innovative online portal which will make Australia more accessible for international students and in turn generate further revenue for the Australian economy.

Around 300,000 international students already choose to develop their education at Australian universities and apart from tuition fees, their spending includes housing, transport and food for example.

studylane provides assistance and guidance to international students wanting to come to Australia in a huge range of areas from visa’s to accommodation to job opportunities- through their strong alliance and partners programs. Their main focus is their relationships with educational institutions and helping place students in appropriate universities.

“Moving to a new country is daunting enough in itself. Imagine trying to find information about a course in Australia, when English isn’t your first language! We have trained counsellors to guide students on not only course choices but also on how to begin their new life in a new country and how best to assimilate.

“Around one quarter of all higher education students  in Australia are international  students and we aim to make this figure even higher. International students  can also add different social and cultural perspectives that help the  educational  experience for all students- which can be very important in the globalised business world of today”, said Bipul Kafley, Founder and CEO, studylane.

studylane offers accurate information about Australian educational institutions, scholarship opportunities and exchange programs, to help students move abroad. Whether a student wants to study medicine at university, undertake a tafe diploma to assist with a trade or complete their secondary studies, studylane is able to assist. They have access to universities and other educational tools in all parts of Australia making them one of Australia’s leading educational providers.
