The Australian government, educational institutions and other organizations provide different kinds of scholarship programs for international students, which cover different educational fields, such as vocational education and training, student exchange, undergraduate and graduate study and research programs.

Almost all Australian universities have scholarship programs, and these programs have various forms and considerable amounts.

If you have a chance to win one of the scholarships, you can save a lot of money on studying abroad.

Step 2 Work-study program

Work-study program has always been a routine way for international students to solve economic problems. Using spare time to work can not only reduce the economic burden, but also accumulate overseas work experience.

The Australian government allows international students to work legally for no more than 40 hours every two weeks, and working during holidays is not subject to this restriction. The legal minimum hourly wage is 19 Australian dollars. Part-time wages can be used to pay part of the living expenses, and even some students earn most of the living expenses.

3. Paid internship

Many Australian universities offer paid internship courses, such as University of Sydney, Monash University, University of South Australia, Queensland University of Technology and so on. , to provide various internship programs for students majoring in business, engineering and computer science. Students try their best to strive for these opportunities during their studies.

Step 4 Choose schools in remote areas

The "remote areas" specified by the Australian government may actually be "normal cities". There are also many Australian universities in these so-called remote areas, some of which are even listed as the top five universities in Australia, such as the National University, the University of Western Australia and the University of Adelaide. In addition, schools in these areas often receive a series of preferential policies from the government, and the chances of getting scholarships are relatively increased.

Compared with schools in densely populated areas, tuition fees in these places are relatively cheap. More importantly, students who graduate from these schools will get great benefits when they look for jobs or immigrate in the future. Students can not only spend less money, but also get practical benefits.

5. Avoid popular schools and majors.

If international students choose universities and majors with more strategic considerations, they can also solve the problem of high cost of studying abroad.

Many students in China prefer "school" and "popular" majors, regardless of their actual situation. Good schools are more expensive, and so are popular majors. For example, MBA tuition is much more expensive than finance majors with almost the same content. Moreover, the outstanding talents of popular majors and popular schools gather together and the competition for admission is fierce. Once the application fails, it will also cause certain economic losses. Students who are going to study in Australia should correctly analyze their academic background (such as grades) and economic strength and choose a suitable school. This can also effectively reduce the cost of studying abroad.

2. Application process for studying in Australia

1, select the scheme.

Students and parents who want to study in Australia should make reasonable plans according to their own situation. When determining the plan, we should comprehensively consider the students' major of interest, their achievements during college, their English level, their own learning ability, their future employment direction and career planning. In addition to the above, we also need to know the number of international students at the destination, what special courses are available and the specific fees. The formulation of a plan is likely to affect students' study in the next few years or even their life trajectory for more than ten years, so it is necessary to formulate a study abroad plan that meets the conditions of students.

2. University application

Submit the application to the selected institution, prepare the graduation certificate and transcripts notarized and translated by the notary office, and provide a copy of the first page of your passport. If the school has other requirements, other relevant materials need to be prepared. Remind students to make more choices when applying for schools to increase their chances of being admitted.

Step 3 wait for notice

If you receive the notice from the school, you can prepare materials according to the requirements of the school, pay tuition fees, and get the admission notice (COE) from the school. Then students need to go to the local public security department to apply for passports.

4. Language testing

All students who are going to study in Australia need to prepare IELTS or TOEFL (I remind: more students also choose PTE! Moreover, the results of IELTS test will not only affect the success of the application for studying abroad, but also affect the start time of students' courses. If you fail IELTS or TOEFL, you need to go to Australia for language courses in advance, and the time of visa submission will also have an impact. Therefore, preparing for the IELTS test in advance will not only give you enough study time to improve your English, but also enable you to get higher scores after many exams as the basis for your application.

5. Preparation of funds

Because studying in Australia needs financial guarantee and the exchange rate will fluctuate in different periods, students and parents are advised to make financial preparation plans in advance. In this way, it can be better solved when the policy is suddenly adjusted or other special circumstances occur, which is helpful for students to apply for visas smoothly. As an essential link in the application process of studying in Australia, I hope to attract the attention of students and parents.

6. Submission

After the above procedures are completed, students need to submit all materials to the embassy, and they can start preparing their luggage after the visa is passed. It should be noted here that students should report for duty within the time specified by the COE.

7. Other issues

If you apply for an Australian undergraduate course, you need students to start preparing in the first half of the second year of high school or the first half of the freshman year. Students applying for a master's degree need to apply in the first half of their senior year. Adequate preparation time can effectively solve and avoid unexpected situations. The cycle of e-visa is generally 4 weeks, and that of ordinary visa is about 12 weeks. During this time, there will be many procedural requirements that students need to pay attention to and solve, so we should pay attention to real-time tracking.
