How to Choose a Course in Australia as an International Student

Choosing where and what to study is one of the biggest decisions in your Australian study journey. The right course should suit your interests, career goals, English level, budget and preferred city.

Start with your study and career goal

Think about the skills you want to build and the type of work or further study you may pursue after graduation. Australia offers English-language programs, vocational education and training (VET), and higher education qualifications.

Compare course entry requirements

Check each course carefully for academic entry requirements, English-language requirements, course duration, intakes and tuition fees. Requirements can vary between education providers, even for similar qualifications.

Choose an Australian study destination

Consider the location of the campus, accommodation options, transport, lifestyle and support available to international students. A location that suits your daily life can make a meaningful difference to your study experience.

Compare education providers before applying

Look beyond the course name. Compare teaching style, facilities, student support, timetables and pathways to further study. Make sure you understand the total costs and the terms that apply before accepting an offer.
