International Student Barometer

The International Student Barometer is an online survey that obtains responses from international students, studying on campus in Australian universities, about their university experience. The survey is independently managed and administered across the world by the International Graduate Insight Group (i-graduate).

The results of the International Student Barometer (ISB) are listed below. We’d like to thank you for your participation and taking time to respond to all the questions. You feedback is invaluable.
