Students

Students wanting to study in Australia must be accepted for enrolment in an accredited and registered course which is offered by a registered educational institution. In addition, the course of study must be undertaken on a full time basis.

There are eight student visa subclasses that cover the spectrum of Australia’s education sector including:

  • Schools
  • English language intensive courses for overseas students (ELICOS)
  • Vocational education and training
  • Higher education
  • Postgraduate research
  • AusAID or Defence
  • Non award

On completion of a diploma or higher education qualification students can follow a pathway to permanent residency in Australia.
