International Student Survey 2025

UMSU International is the peak representative body of international students at The University of Melbourne. To improve international students’ experience at the University, we conduct the annual International Students Survey. This provides international students with the opportunity to give feedback and opinions on their experiences learning and living in Australia.

The results and feedback will be brought to the university to strive for future improvements and actions. We aim to ensure your voices are heard. Both the University of Melbourne and UMSU International will consider these responses with the utmost seriousness, open-mindedness, and respect. Moreover, the results will also be used to assess the effectiveness of our services. Major policy changes aiming at improving YOUR experience at the university have occurred in the past based on the results of this survey. Thus, we hope you carefully answer each question with sincerity. The results of this survey will be anonymous. Your responses will be de-identified, ensuring that any personal information (e.g., student email) is kept separate from your answers to protect your privacy.

Each and every one of your voices matters.
