How we work with education agents

Following recent media coverage, the University of Sydney seeks to assure students who are considering applying to study with us that support is available throughout the process – whether working with an authorised agent or applying directly.

We know many students and their families choose to work with education agents, who can provide a valuable service.

Many education agents are also migration agents, and as Australian universities are prohibited by law from providing visa or migration advice, these agents can also provide students with useful advice on migration matters. Migration agents can also simplify the process for students looking to apply to multiple universities – including making it easier for students to navigate Australia’s university system, and study and living options. Importantly, agents also provide the families of students a level of locally-based support which can provide additional reassurance around safety and wellbeing.

The University of Sydney’s authorised agents are clearly listed on our website, and we work closely with them and provide them with regular and detailed training each year so they can appropriately represent the University.
