Take for example, a recent study in the United States revealed that 2007 university graduates earned 77% more per hour than those with only a high school diploma.

That’s what we’re all about at StudyFinder – making sure you have all the information you need as a student to find the course or program that best suits your career path and professional goals.

Australian Degrees – some statistics

Australian Degrees – some statistics

No matter what the status of the global economy, striving for a higher education provides a valuable accomplishment. Whether or not it delivers on the promise of higher pay for the length of the career is often more up to the individual than the fact he or she has a particular degree. But the odds are in your favour when you acquire an additional degree.

As information is readily available on the cost of higher education, it tends to focus with a heavy bent on the U.S. market. For those in the Australian market who understand the world does not begin and end in the United States, we found data on the costs associated with seeking an undergraduate, master’s and doctorate degree in Australia.

In reality, there are a number of benefits to studying in Australia, whether you are a native or not. Overall cost of studying in Australia creates benefits as there is a shorter time required for completing degrees. For undergraduate degrees, study generally only takes three years. In addition, there are a number of master’s degree programs that can be accomplished within one year.

UQ, USC and TAFE Sunshine Coast work together on Health Training Program

Health training boost provided to help with the shortage of Doctors and Nurses in QLD.

With a guarantee to build the Sunshine Coast’s new $2 billion hospital in the pipeline, the answer to kick starting this off is the newly appointed $60.8 million training centre earmarked for the Kawana Region and construction is looking to start from 2013 including the construction of the Sunshine Coast Private hospital.

The new training centre will have the capacity to train up to 1300 doctors, nurses and allied health professionals every year to work in our hospitals and medical centres. Staff and students will also contribute to local research projects too.

Deputy Premier and Health Minister Paul Lucas announced the project yesterday and stated that the program was a combined effort by the University of Queensland, University of the Sunshine Coast and TAFE Sunshine Coast, who are all working together under the one roof, providing the next generation of health professionals.

As some of the most popular courses this year fall under the Nursing or Allied Health banner, the demand for something like this is a sign of good future planning by both Insitutes, Government and Industry.

For Year 11 and 12 students this means they can get a head start on these career paths now with Vocational training and education and then once graduated then can use the qualifications to gain credit on the Registered Nursing and Enrolled Nurses courses and other related courses (please note that you must read the policy of the Institutes in hand to determine the credit/RPL process).

These pathways are vital for career development as it defines what is requried and achievements needed to enter the Health Industry. So with developments like this it opens up better options for students who are interested in a career in Health, Medicine or Allied Health can consider programs like this to optimise their training in state of the art facilities and having the backing of 3 reputable Institutes supporting you too.
