I am from Northern Ontario and I want to go to University/College in Australia for animation. Is there any suitable schools for this that I should look in to?

G'day, OK... you are asking 2 different level of education. In Australia, most colleges only offer non-degree courses. This means they offer certificate or diploma courses. They are called TAFE (public institutions) or simply private college. On completion of diploma course, you can transfer to uni, usually on the 2nd year. University is the one offering degree courses, which means the bachelor, masters and PhD. There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and tightly regulated, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The Australian uni's offering animation are as follows (no particular orders): Charles Sturt Uni (www.csu.edu.au) RMIT Uni (www.rmit.edu.au) Griffith Uni (www.griffith.edu.au) Deakin Uni (www.deakin.edu.au) Uni of Canberra (www.canberra.edu.au) UNSW (www.unsw.edu.au) UTS (www.uts.edu.au) Uni of Western Sydney (www.uws.edu.au) La Trobe Uni (www.latrobe.edu.au) Tuition fee & requirements will be available in those websites. Please make sure that the information you accessing are the ones for international students, not for local students, as there are some difference in regards to tuition fees. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification (in English and original language). The process will take abt 2-3weeks, depending on the time of the year. If you are interested in the college courses, it is called vocational studies. You can try the online database I provided below. These websites are the one that I got the info abt universities. Hope this helps. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia :)
