About Australia

Geographically Australia is the smallest continent on Earth. Formally Australia was known as the Commonwealth of Australia. And it is the 6th largest country by total area, after Canada, China, USA, Brazil and Russia. Australia’s estimated population is 24,096,200. That makes it one of the least populated countries in the world. Most of the Australian population is living in its shoreland.

Why Study in Australia
  • In Australia, you have the freedom to choose a path that suits your particular goals. There are thousands of courses on offer. Whichever course you choose, you’ll experience a unique kind of education. Studying abroad in Australia promotes innovative, creative and independent thinking. You’ll learn to work as part of a team, to communicate effectively with others and to develop the practical skills and intellectual abilities you need for global success.
  • Most importantly, you’ll learn how to use your initiative. Your teachers will encourage you to think of original, practical solutions to real-world problems. Upon graduation, your qualification will make you highly sought after by Australian and international employers.
  • The Australian education system has a strong international reputation and is known for its effective structure and innovative policy developments. Many other countries, eager to improve their own education systems, turn to Australia for advice.
  • Australia is also one of the best places to live in. It is a young, vibrant and friendly country in which students can live, learn and grow. So if you want a quality education and a good lifestyle, Australia’s the place to be.
  • The relationship of education to migration policy.
  • You should undertake a study in a field in which you intend to work once you graduate. You are strongly advised not to undertake studies in Australia with the sole purpose of obtaining a migration outcome. The student visa process is an entirely separate process to skilled migration and there is no guarantee that you will be eligible for skilled migration purely on the basis of having undertaken a course related to an occupation on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL).
  • The SOL is a list of skilled occupations that are in need in Australia comprising of four major groups: managers and administrators; professionals; associate professionals; and tradespersons and related workers.
  • The SOL can, and does, change in light of labor market needs in Australia. There is no guarantee that an occupation listed on the SOL at the time you begin your studies will still be on the SOL when you graduate.
  • The Australian Government wants a targeted, high-value, demand-driven, skilled migration program that is responsive to the needs of the Australian labor market. As these needs change rapidly, the skilled migration program will be adjusted accordingly.

Student Visa Requirements
  • International students require a student visa in order to study in Australia. The process of applying for a student visa depends on which country you apply from and the type of study you're applying for. The student visa application process can be involved and for this reason, students in some countries apply for their student visas using the help of a registered Australian education agent.
  • For assistance in your application for a student visa, contact the Australian Governments Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) office nearest to you.
  • Changes to international student visa rules
  • In December 2010, the Australian Government conducted a review of the student visa program to recommend improvements to student visa rules and conditions. Known as the Knight Review, these recommendations aim to make studying in Australia easier for international students, while maintaining the integrity and quality of the existing student visa program.

These changes to student visa rules are detailed in the

  • Stage One Knight Review Changes Fact Sheet (November 2011)
  • Stage Two Knight Review Changes Fact Sheet (March 2012)

These fact sheets have been translated into several other languages.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) website provides a timetable of the visa rule changes that are part of Stage One of the Knight Review implementation.

The Student Visa Process
  • The DIAC website also outlines the process for assessing and granting student visas and a visa wizard to help determine the type of visa to apply for. This is particularly useful for students who want to establish if they can study in Australia before they begin applying for courses. Higher Education Sector: Streamlined Visa Processing
  • Streamlined visa processing (SVP) arrangements now allow for faster, easier visa access for international students applying to most universities and partner programs. A list of universities participating in SVP and affiliated educational program partners is available here.
  • If you lodge a student visa application with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) for Bachelor, Masters or Doctoral degree level program from a university or education provider participating in SVP, you will benefit from reduced evidentiary requirements and faster visa processing times, regardless of your country of origin.
  • However, you must meet requirements for English-language proficiency and financial capacity and will have to satisfy the genuine temporary entrant requirement.
