Why Holmesglen?

At Holmesglen, we connect our learners with practical study experiences that prepare them for life-changing career opportunities.

We are an Australian Training Awards ‘International Training Provider of the Year’ and a five-time Victorian Training Awards ‘Industry Collaboration’ award recipient.

With over 30 courses for international students – at vocational and higher education level – we offer qualifications that meet Australia’s skill needs and support global skill shortages.

This is complemented by study programs that have defined pathways and focus on real-world study, including internships, work-integrated learning, and applied research – all designed to enhance your employability.

Equally, the international student experience is at the forefront of the overall Holmesglen journey. Melbourne has been named in the top five ‘Best Student Cities’ in the QS World University Rankings over the past three years, meaning you're living and learning in a vibrant education city.

Plus, our campuses are located near major amenities and attractions, such as Chadstone Shopping Centre – the biggest shopping centre in Australia.
