Study in Australia

Strong universities, and a July intake

Australia combines well-regarded universities with a second major intake in July, which suits students whose results or test scores arrive too late for a northern-hemisphere September start.

Why Australia

A real second intake

July is not a token offering — most universities run a full February and July cycle, so a missed deadline costs months rather than a year.

Work rights during study

Student visa holders may work limited hours during term and more during holidays, which offsets living costs.

Post-study work

The Temporary Graduate visa lets you stay and work after graduating, with the length depending on your qualification.

Courses and intakes

Bachelor's, master's by coursework or research, and PhD, plus vocational qualifications.

February is the main intake, July the second. Some providers add a smaller November start.

What you will need

  • Passport
  • Academic transcripts
  • Degree certificate
  • English test score
  • Statement of purpose
  • Letters of recommendation
  • Resume / CV
  • Financial statement

This is the same checklist we track for you inside our system, so nothing is remembered twice.

Student visa (subclass 500)

  • You need a Confirmation of Enrolment from your provider before applying.
  • Overseas Student Health Cover is compulsory for the length of your stay.
  • You must satisfy the genuine student requirement — a written statement about why this course, in this country, for your career.
  • Health examinations and financial evidence are part of the application.

Requirements and entitlements are set by each country's government and change from time to time. We confirm the current position for your intake before you apply.
