Global IDP Services
IDP Education is a global company offering
student placement and English language testing services. It is one
of the world's largest student placement firms with a network of
over 80 offices in more than 30 countries. IDP Education has over
40 years experience working with universities and government
organisations and has placed more than 300,000 students in
educational institutions around the world.
Students choose international education to
fulfill study, career and life goals, and IDP is committed to
working with students in making the right educational choices to
achieve these goals. An international education improves the skills
and self-confidence of the individual and ultimately enables
students to become better global citizens.
In 1987, IDP established the Australian
International Education Conference (AIEC) which today is one of the
most recognised international education conferences in the world.
IDP also sponsors the Database of Research in International
Education – a searchable database which houses material on
international education published from 1990 onwards.
IDP Education is a co-owner of IELTS, the
world's leading high-stakes English language proficiency test, in
conjunction with the British Council and University of Cambridge
ESOL Examinations. More than 1.7 million IELTS test are taken each
year across over 130 countries. IELTS is accepted by over 7,000
organisations globally, including universities, colleges, and
professional associations in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK
and USA.
IDP Education is jointly owned by 38
Australian universities and SEEK Limited, Australia's leading
online employment and training company.
Since IDP's establishment, there has been a
five-fold increase in the number of international students in
higher education around the world. This has resulted in a sharing
of knowledge and expertise between developed and developing
countries, which is unprecedented in history. International
education plays a major role in breaking down cultural barriers and
promoting international understanding, and millions of students
have now spent a formative part of their lives studying in another
country. IDP is proud to have built its business in international
education and to have been a part of these historic
developments.
