Sydney
The Antipodean Option
The northern region of Sydney has beautiful
tree-lined avenues, cosmopolitan restaurants and cafes, and
excellent surfing beaches. Northern Sydney also contains one
of the city's major business districts, and is home to many
highly educated young professionals. The international influences
in this area come from both Asia and Europe, and a high proportion
of people who live here speak more than one language.
 With
eight campuses located in the safe and beautiful area, the
Northern Sydney Institute has welcomed thousands of international
students over the past 30 years. NSI graduates can now be
found throughout all parts of the world. Each campus has students
from around the globe who work, study and enjoy life in Australia
together.
The institute is fully funded by the NSW Government, and
has established an international reputation for educations
and training. It is consistently chosen by overseas organisations
to train their educators and specialist personnel.
Living in Northern Sydney
Northern Sydney is one of the most appealing areas of Sydney
in which to live. Beaches, bush, national parks and Sydney's
famous harbour and city centre are all close by. There are
also some of the best restaurants, cafes, shop, cinemas and
sporting facilities in Sydney. Transport services are excellent-in
many parts of the region, and the city centre is just 10 minutes
away by bus, train or harbour ferry. Student accommodation
ranges from homestay to hostel and share accommodation in
houses or apartments.

their studies at University, with credits from their TAFE
courses.
