Mapping Australian higher education

In 2014, nearly 350,000 international students took courses with Australian universities. Domestic enrolments exceeded one million for the first time. For domestic students, humanities and commerce remain the most popular fields of study, but health and science enrolments show the fastest growth. Despite slower transitions from university to career, the unemployment rate for all graduates remains low. Over their working lives, graduates on average earn significantly more than people who finish their education at Year 12.
