Studying in Australia is a great way to experience the unique ‘Aussie’ lifestyle while gaining great new skills. Australia has world-class universities, practical vocational colleges, and outstanding English language schools to support international students.
If you are looking to stay in Australia for an extended period of time, an Australian Student Visa is your best starting point. You can apply for a Student Visa by studying:
- English Courses (General English, IELTS preparation, Cambridge, etc.)
- Vocational Courses (Business, Marketing, Tourism, Sport & Fitness, Hospitality, etc.)
- University Courses (Bachelor’s Degree. Master and PhD)
Benefits of a Student Visa in Australia:
The Australian Student Visa has multiple benefits, aside from allowing you to study in Australia, with a number of underrated, unique features.
Work and Study at the same time
Feeling like you should be doing more with your time, or want to supplement your allowance? Unlike many other study destinations which strictly limit students to only studying in a country, the Australian student visa allows students to undertake part-time work as they are studying, within set limits of course.
You are entitled to work 40 hours per fortnight (2 weeks) during your studies (average 20 hours per week) , and unlimited hours of work during your school breaks. Based on an average academic year where a student gets approximately a month of winter break and 3months of summer holidays - and coupled with Australia’s minimum wage laws - some casual work in the summer might add up to quite a tidy sum and help to significantly defray your cost of living.
