The age of admission to university is usually 18 (although most admit exceptional students at a younger age) and courses are usually for three years, although some last for four. This could be seen as a big advantage for foreign students from countries where courses often last much longer and helps Australian universities attract a large number of overseas students.

Foreign students must have an adequate knowledge of English (unless studying English!). If English isn’t your mother tongue or the language in which you gained your previous qualifications, you must take the Short Selection Test (SST). Private health
insurance is required by all students, e.g. Medibank Private overseas student health cover.

Students must be attending full-time courses but are permitted to take part-time jobs of up to 20 hours per week to help cover their living costs.
