Scholarships for Australia
Most scholarships for Indian students are offered by Australian universities as a percentage off tuition, based on academic merit. Some government-funded awards exist, but they are limited and competitive.
Scholarship availability depends on the university, programme, your academic profile and the intake.
English Requirements for Australian Universities
Most universities ask for IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall (with minimum band scores), or an equivalent PTE Academic or TOEFL score. Courses such as nursing and teaching often need higher scores. The Student visa also has its own English requirements.
Student Visa (Subclass 500) and Post-Study Work
After you accept your offer and pay the deposit, the university issues a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). You then apply for the Student visa (subclass 500) online with your CoE, OSHC health cover, financial evidence and a Genuine Student statement. Student visa holders can usually work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods.
After graduating, you may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). How long you can stay depends on your qualification and the current rules.
