Australian universities are a mix of public and private institutions. The majority are public, funded by the federal and state governments, including prestigious schools like the University of Melbourne and the University of Sydney. These offer subsidized tuition for domestic students.
Private universities, such as Bond University and the University of Notre Dame Australia, operate independently without government funding. They rely on tuition fees and private donations, often costing more but sometimes offering specialized programs.
Both types maintain high academic standards, with public universities dominating rankings. International students should verify funding structures when choosing institutions.
