Key Considerations

Is Australia Right for You?

Research strength and long post-study work rights. Here is what to weigh up before you commit.

Academic Fit

What the education system expects of you

Top-tier research institutions — the Group of Eight — alongside genuinely practical training programmes. You must meet the Genuine Student requirement at application.

Financial Planning

What you must be able to evidence

Living costs are high. You need to evidence tuition plus AU $29,710 a year for living expenses, a figure now pegged to 75% of the national minimum wage.

Career Prospects

What happens after you graduate

The subclass 485 Temporary Graduate Visa gives 2–4 years of post-study work rights. During semester you can work up to 48 hours a fortnight.

Cultural Fit

What daily life actually feels like

Highly multicultural and outdoor-oriented, with a large and established South Asian student community.

Financial requirements are the amounts immigration asks you to evidence, current as of September 2026. Several changed during the year — confirm the figure for your intake before you transfer funds.
