Q. Will you get me financial aid or scholarship?
A. There is very limited financial aid for international students in Australia. There are very few scholarships offered by some universities/government but they are very competitive. We do not have a standard list of available scholarships. You will have to research the individual university websites for this information.  

Q. What are the living expenses in Australia?
A. This will depend on the city where you study. To give you an idea, your living expenses would range from A$ 8,500 to A$ 12,000 per year
Costs may vary depending on the lifestyle.

Q. Can I work part-time while studying?
A. International students can work for up to 20 hours per week in part-time or casual employment, and full-time during gazetted vacation periods. You need to apply to the department of Immigration for permission to work in Australia. You can apply for a work permit after you have arrived in Australia and started your course.

Please note that part-time jobs are not easy to find in Australia.

Q. Can I work in Australia after completing my education?
A. Yes, you can work in Australia if you get a full-time job with a company. It is not easy to get jobs though. If you do not get a job, you have to return back.

It is possible to apply for immigration as well. However, we do not provide information about the same. We are an education website and we can help you in the university application process once you have decided.

Q. Is it easy to get jobs in Australia after finishing my education?
A. Getting a job is not easy. It is possible if you perform well in your program and in your job interviews. Going by the past statistics, some Indian students have managed to find jobs and have stayed back after completion of their education. However, there is no guarantee. You have to take a chance and perform well. We cannot predict your chances.

Q. For how many years, will my student visa be valid?
A. You will get a visa for the duration of the program. There is usually no extra time granted. On completion of the program, you are expected to leave the country within 28 days. If you wish to stay longer you must seek approval from the Department of Immigration, Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs.

Q. Can my husband/wife/spouse work while I study?
A. Dependents of postgraduate - Master and Doctorate Students, who hold Visa Subclass 574, can work full-time after the student has commenced his or her course in Australia.

A. This will depend on the kind of job that you get. Most part-time jobs are minimum wage jobs like shop assistant, helper at fast-food joints, bars and department store, cleaner, waiter/waitress and clerical jobs.

Rates of pay for casual work for students range from A$ 6 to A$ 10 per hour.

Please note that the income you earn from part-time jobs may not be sufficient for your living expenses.
