Introducing THE Student

Welcome to THE Student

From now, you’re getting even more than you bargained for at Times Higher Education – in a good way, of course.
For 12 years we’ve given you rankings, data and table upon table for you to use in one of the most important decisions of your life: which university to choose.
But we want to make that decision process even smoother for you, by guiding you each step of the way and using our resources to help you to really understand all the options on offer and factors to consider.
On THE Student you can find advice, guides to universities, news and other decision-making tools to equip you for the next stage of your educational journey.

• Take me to the US, I hear you say? First, read our Guide to Higher Education in the US as a foreign student for almost everything you need to know
• I know what you’re thinking: forget the US, it’s all about Australia. Lucky for you, the Guide to Higher Education in Australia as a foreign student has just as many facts and tips.
