Step 3 – Other Requirements (Financial, English)

Financial considerations

The majority of international students in Australia are full-fee paying students. Student loans are not available for international students in Australia.

You will need to consider whether you can afford to study at a particular institution.

Fees vary according to the institution and discipline selected. For example, science and medical courses that require a large amount of laboratory and fieldwork are more costly than arts courses.

To be granted a student visa you will need to declare your financial ability and in most cases you will need evidence of having sufficient funds to pay part or all of your tuition fees.

How to calculate financials and the evidence required. -

Working while studying

If you intend to get a job while studying in Australia then the money you earn from working in Australia should only supplement your income and not be your primary source of income.

You can only apply for a new student visa with work rights after you arrive in Australia and have begun studying.

You will only be permitted to work a limited number of hours. Therefore you should not expect your earnings to cover all your living costs.

English language requirements?

Most institutions require students to have a level of English language proficiency.

There is a separate (lower or higher than the Education Institution) English proficiency requirement for the visa.

There are many English language courses with starting dates throughout the year to prepare you for further study in Australia.
