INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA
South Australia recorded the largest percentage increase in international student enrolments of all states and territories over the period 2002-2005. Expenditure by international students in South Australia has also increased at a higher rate than other states and territories for the period 2002-2004. The data from both sources suggests that similar patterns may exist between enrolment figures and expenditure by international students. International students are defined as all full-fee paying students studying in Australia on a student visa. This definition does not include Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents or New Zealand citizens. Enrolment data from the Department of Education, Science and Training counts actual student enrolments as opposed to the number of international students in the country. For example a student enrolled in both the higher education and vocational sectors will have both enrolments counted. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ENROLMENTS Of the 344,815 international student enrolments in Australia for 2005, 17,936 were enrolled in South Australia. This represents 5.2% of international student enrolments in Australia, an increase from 2002 when there were 11,042 international student enrolments in South Australia, representing 4.0% of international student enrolments in Australia. The following graph shows New South Wales and Victoria continue to be the most popular destinations for international students, comprising 39.2% and 27.4% respectively, of the total international student enrolments in Australia for 2005.

International students in South Australia spent an estimated $339 million in the 2004 calendar year.
