Australia

line

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.

Breach of visa rules (working illegally, failing academic requirements, overstaying) can result in cancellation and future bans.
