Study in Australia
Australia's qualifications sit in a national framework, and universities, TAFE institutes and private providers all take international students. Almorad helps you match a course to the Student visa rules before you apply.
Why Study in Australia?
Study Australia, the government's student site, explains that the Australian Qualifications Framework has 10 levels. A bachelor degree is typically 3 years (4 with honours), a master degree 1 to 2 years, and a doctorate 3 years plus 1 for review.
Academic Year & Intakes
The year runs from February or March to November. Universities usually run two semesters, and some run three trimesters. Mid-year entry starts in July, with applications usually opening around April.
Student Visa
A Confirmation of Enrolment is required before applying, along with adequate health insurance for the whole stay. Students may work up to 48 hours per fortnight while the course is in session and without limit in scheduled breaks; master's by research and doctoral students have no limit. The visa can last for the course, up to five years. Study Australia states that from 1 July 2026 visa fees start at AUD 2,500 per application unless exempt, and the Genuine Student requirement applies.
After Study
The Temporary Graduate visa (485) requires being 35 or under (exceptions apply), holding a Student visa in the last 6 months and a recent qualification from a CRICOS-registered course. The higher-education stream gives between 2 and 3 years depending on the qualification; the vocational stream gives up to 18 months.
