Australia is ranked among the top study-abroad destinations with over 700,000 international students. Known for globally recognized degrees, affordable tuition compared to the UK/USA, and a high quality of life, it is especially popular for courses in Business, IT, Engineering, Health Sciences, and Environmental Studies. Australia provides extensive post-study work opportunities through the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), and many graduates transition into permanent residency pathways. Its multicultural environment, modern campuses, and welcoming immigration policies make it a prime destination for international students.

The Student Visa (Subclass 500) allows full-time study at recognized Australian institutions. Students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study sessions and unlimited hours during breaks. Health insurance (OSHC) is mandatory. After graduation, students can apply for the Temporary Graduate Visa (485) to stay and work in Australia for 2–4 years. Compliance with visa conditions is strictly monitored through the Department of Home Affairs. Breach of visa rules (working illegally, failing academic requirements, overstaying) can result in cancellation and future bans.
