Abstract

The purpose of current research is to determine whether there is difference between Chinese and Australia background students’ academic performance. Furthermore, we apply the analysis of variance to see if there is any difference between the academic performances of different student groups on some variables. These variables include students’ cultural background, age, and the aims of study. The result of current research is that there is not enough evidence indicating that the variables, students’ cultural background and age, have effect on the students’ academic performance. In addition we find that students’ aims for study have significant effect on the students’ academic performance. With the development of Chinese economy more and more Chinese students travel to Australia for higher education. Current research gives an insight into Chinese and Australia background students’ academic performance.
