How to apply for an Australian university

The total number of universities in Australia is small, about 42. Australian universities are divided into five grades (five stars), including eight five-star universities, basically one in each state (except New South Wales). Majors include science, engineering, science and engineering, liberal arts and so on that we can think of. If you want to study in Australia, you can start from scratch, or you can find a resource-rich Australian university intermediary or the China office of an Australian educational institution. Here are some suggestions for studying in Australia:

1. First determine the major you want to study. As Australia is an immigrant country, many China students go to Australia to study in order to become permanent residents or citizens of the country after graduation. However, the Australian government's immigration policy has restrictions on majors. Therefore, if you want to immigrate, it is best to choose a major that meets the immigration requirements from the beginning.

2. Choose a school. Five-star universities in Australia have different admission requirements. In principle, the higher the star rating, the higher the requirement for students' high school average score. In addition, five-star universities in Australia and quite a few other universities do not directly accept domestic high school graduates to enter the first-year courses. Generally speaking, their requirements are to obtain either a pre-university diploma or a diploma issued by the state, and use these diplomas to apply for Australian universities. The difference is that five-star universities generally require a preparatory diploma, and then students go to the first-year college course; Some universities allow students to apply for universities with diplomas and then take sophomore courses.

3. Language requirements

3. 1 The requirement for studying in Australia is IELTS 5.0, which must be achieved, otherwise you will not get an Australian visa;

3.2 The requirements for undergraduate courses in Australian universities are generally IELTS 6.0, and those for individual majors are above 6.5 (such as simultaneous interpretation). The language requirements of universities are not very rigid. If students can't meet the professional language requirements, the school will generally provide students with certain language courses (within 5 weeks). For example, if a student's IELTS score is 5.5, the school will generally require students to take a 10 week language course. After their internal test, they can enter the ordinary class without taking the IELTS test. )

3.3 It should be emphasized that even if students meet the language requirements of the school, they are advised to attend a five-week language course before the start of school to ensure their smooth entry into regular classes.

4. Australian study visa.

4. 1 Preparation of visa materials. Studying in Australia, the visa for studying in Australia belongs to category 573. In order to apply for this visa, students need to prepare a series of documents, such as proof of funds, proof of income of family members, proof of academic qualifications, birth certificates, etc. It needs to be prepared according to the detailed regulations of the Australian Immigration Bureau.

4.2 visa application. At present, there are two application channels allowed by the Australian government. One is an ordinary visa application. That is, students will directly submit the prepared materials and visa application fees to Australia's visa approval center in Adelaide, South Australia, and the general probation period is about 3 months; Another way is to submit it through an application center recognized by the Australian government in China. This method is called e-visa. The general probation period is about 1 month to 1.5 months.

5. expenses

The fees for studying in Australia are generally as follows:

1. University tuition, generally ranging from 15000 to 23000 Australian dollars;

2. Living expenses during college: about10.2 million Australian dollars/year;

3. Visa fee: 550 Australian dollars

4. Notarization fee: about 250 yuan RMB/copy.

5. Agency fee: 65,438 yuan+200,000 yuan.

Above, I talked about several key steps of studying in Australia. In the actual operation process, there are still some details that we need to complete, such as applying for the university admission notice, paying the tuition and language courses for the first academic year, applying for eCOE, and preparing visa materials. If you are interested, we can communicate further. Welcome to criticize my message.
