International Students Studying in Australia
Australia is home to many prestigious universities, with seven of the top 100 universities in the world. That’s also the reason we are the third most popular place to study after the United Kingdom and United States. Universities in Australia have two semesters and offer the option of shorter summer courses over the end of year break from December to February.

The Australian Government offers several visas to international students, depending on your study situation.

You can also apply for shorter periods of study, such as a Visitor Visa with a maximum of 3 months or a Working Holiday Visa where you can study for a maximum of four months.
You will need to meet several requirements to study in Australia. Furthermore, you will need the equivalent Year 12 Secondary Certificate or apply as a mature age student. You will also be required to have the money to pay for your return air flights, the cost of your course and your living expenses while you’re studying in Australia.
Depending on the university and course you’re applying for, you may be required to sit for an English language test, complete prerequisite subjects or work experience related to the area of your study.
