1. IntroductionPhang, (2013) has opined that the internationalisation of Higher Equation (HE) over the past30 years has experienced a major growth and in the year 1980s and 1990s, internationaleducation has emerged as a significant service industry. Thus, as a result ofinternationalisation, the flow of students across borders has increased. This is evident fromthe fact that in the past decades, 1.5 million students have studied outside their homecountries and in the year 2000, there were 1.5 million international students across the globein Higher Educational Institutions (OECD, 2012). As per the studies conducted by Phang,(2013), USA has been recognised as a destination country characterised with higher numberof international students followed by UK and Australia. Over the past few decades, USA hasbeen observed to have hosted more than one third of the international students across theglobe. So, it can be said that education has emerged as an industry that has tremendouspotential when compared to the other trade business. The statistics have revealed that around2.9 million students from across the globe have been accepted by the tertiary education in theyear 2006 and it is being predicted that by the end o the year 2025, around 7 million studentswould be accepted by the tertiary education. The increasing demand for international higher education service by the internationalstudents has created opportunities for the several destination countries like Australiaespecially for making significant contributions to the nation’s revenue (Soria & Troisi, 2014).The spastics published by Australian Bureau Statistics revealed that exports frominternational education in Australia can be valued at $18.8 billion that has made the educationservice industry, the third largest export for the country in the year 2014-15 (Ministers for theDepartment of Education and Training, 2016). Thus, taking into consideration the above aspects, the researcher in the present study wouldstrive towards analyzing the preference of the international students in context to the choiceof Australian Universities and Courses.2. Project Objectives The researcher in the present study would strive towards analyzing the facts that encouragesand motivate the international students to prefer Australian Universities and courses for their2 | Page

higher studies. Thus, the entire study would strive towards the successful achievement of thefollowing research objectives:To investigate the factors that influence the decision making process of theinternational students to select higher education abroad.To analyze the factors those are considered by the international students whileselecting Australian Universities and Courses.To provide recommendations with the help of Australian Universities and coursescan attract more international students for enrolment.3. Project ScopeThe present study would be limited to Australian Universities and Courses and the factors ofmotivation for selecting the university and courses would be collected from the students whoare enrolled in the Australian Universities undertaking post graduate and graduate courses.Moreover, since the study emphasizes upon analysing the factors that influence the enrolmentof students to international Universities and courses, it is not possible to find relevant datafrom several host countries. Thus, the researcher has chosen Australian Universities andCourses and it is also because of the fact that Australia in the recent times has emerged asmost preferred destination for international students for their higher education after USA. Theother reason for choosing Australia as the destination mainly because international highereducation for Australian Universities and courses has been successful when measured interms of the number of international students enrolling in the Australian Universities and thecourses offered and the revenue generated by the education service industry for the country.As per Australian Bureau Statistics, exports from international education in Australia can bevalued at $18.8 billion that has made the education service industry, the third largest exportfor the country in the year 2014-15 (Internationaleducation, 2017). On the other hand, the researcher in order to conduct the study efficiently would limit thescope to Melbourne since it considered as one of the best international centres of excellencean leadership in international education and the location for the study has also been selectedtaking into consideration the budget, geographical and time constraints. Moreover, thenumber of participants for the study can be looked upon to be dependent mainly upon thecooperation and permission from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that limited the3 | Page
