About

The Study NSW International Education Awards recognise the outstanding contributions international students make to communities in NSW and celebrate excellence in international student community engagement.

In 2022, 220,000 international students enrolled in courses with NSW’s education institutions, helping to make NSW the vibrant, multicultural and dynamic place that it is. Many international students become great ambassadors for NSW as future leaders and advocates for trade, diplomacy and research links.

The NSW Government acknowledges their valuable contribution to the State and reaffirms its commitment to making their study experience in NSW the best it can be.
