Get that Premium Education in Australia

By: Mae Paulino

Every month on average about 111,000 people are granted a Study Visa to learn highly paid skills and professions that are urgently needed in Australia. When you have completed a 12 month study course here you can also apply for a Graduate Student Permanent Visa that will open more opportunities for you and your career. However, if you fail the Australian Government Points Test for gaining entry you lose your entire application fee.

Why Study in Australia?

One of the most popular questions for people who have chosen to study in Australia is, why choose to go there? The answer to the question is simple, it's because of the benefits that people get in studying here.

Once you have started your studies in Australia you will be given the chance to work for twenty hours a week during school days and forty hours on vacations. In addition, you will also be eligible to student loans in selected universities. This is a very good offer especially for people who are having hard times financially.

Another reason is that Australia is an English speaking friendly country that provides globally recognized quality education at considerably a lesser cost than UK and USA. Another attractive feature for students going from abroad for higher studies in Australia is the protection of their interests provided by the government through Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act. This act ensures protection of international students in matters such as tuition fees and provides for grievances to be addressed and service to be guaranteed all such educational institutions.

How to get a Student Visa

If those features made you all excited and wanting to go to Australia, then you may be wondering, “What should I do now?”

First, you are required to have a score of six or more on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) conducted by British Council to be able to be admitted to an Australian University. If you have already been admitted then it's already time to process and acquire your visa to gain entrance to Australia, the new land of promises and dreams.

To get a visa, you must be able to supply the following conditions:


  • you must be of good health condition

  • you must be of good character

  • you must not have outstanding debts

  • you must satisfy attendance and course requirements and maintain a valid enrolment for your course

  • you must not work unless you have been granted permission to do so
    you must maintain your Overseas Student Health (OSHC) cover while in Australia

  • you must leave Australia before your visa expires

  • you must remain with the education provider you originally enrolled with for the first 12 months of your course or, if the course is less than 12 months, for the duration of your course

  • you must advise your education provider of your residential address within seven days of your arrival in Australia and must advise any changes of address within seven days

  • if you change education provider you must inform your current education provider within seven days of issue of an eCoE



There are other forms that you have to fill up and submit duly filled up to be able to gain entrance to Australia, the process may be very tiring and cumbersome to other people. But the opportunities that awaits you as you start your studies in the Land Down Under is priceless.
