Every year international students are drawn to South Australia by the number of world-renowned universities in the region. As a result, this state is known for its vibrant, multicultural population.

Adelaide is becoming well-known as a liveable city that students are choosing to settle down in.

TAFE SA in conjunction with the Australian Government are offering generous Destination Australia scholarships. These scholarships are available to those who study a Bachelor of Tourism, Hospitality and Events Management (099074G/CRS1400588) at their Barossa Valley Campus.
