A study of 11,000 prospective students from 143 countries found Australia only lagged behind Britain and the US as a preferred study destination. Conducted by the International Graduate Insight Group, the researchers also found students thought Australia was safe, had universities with a good reputation and was an easy place to find employment after graduation. But International Graduate Insight Group Australia spokesman Kevin Brett said the study also showed the areas Australia needed to improve to compete with the world's leading countries.
