Australian Immigration Daily News

Australia is home to some of the best universities in the world that attract students from all over the world. It also helps that it is relatively easy for people to come to Australia to study when compared to other countries. The main reason it is so much easier is that Australia’s government is more lax when it comes to students. People who come here to study are a net positive to our country; they are here to get education and do not get involved in illicit activities. They are also not a burden on our country, which is why one doesn’t see opposition to students like we do with other migrants.

Language

The first and most basic thing you will need to do is pass an English test. In order for the migrants to assimilate in our culture and become a positive part of it, it is necessary that they be well versed in the local language. The test you need to pass depends on different factors and will also depend on what university you are applying to. You will probably not need to do this test if you hail from a country that has English as its national language.

Academia

You will also need to have the required academic qualification, as can be expected. Most migrants come here for higher education. If you are doing an undergraduate then you will need the equivalent of Australian Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (Year 12). If you are here for getting a postgraduate then you will need an undergraduate degree. Your grades will affect which university you can get into.

Visa Requirements

In order to get a student visa there are some requirements you need to fulfill.

Confirmation of Enrolment

You have to be enrolled in an Australian university in order to be eligible for a student visa. This means that the process of picking a university, choosing a course, then getting accepted at the university needs to be completed before you apply for a visa. If you are enrolled you will receive an electron Confirmation of Enrolment.

Costs

In order to ensure that you will not become a burden on the local economy you need to show that you can afford to live in Australia. You need to be able to cover the initial fees of your university and the money to be able to live in Australia for the first few months. You can cover fees and rent through part time jobs later on, but in the beginning you will need to show that you have the money.

Student Health Cover

Here is the deal; in order to benefit from our excellent medical care system you will need to have the Overseas Student Health Cover. This will allow you to seek medical attention in Australia. You cannot come to Australia without this cover.

Genuine Temporary Entrant

You will also need to write a personal statement which outlines your plans for the future. You need to tell what you plan to do after completing your education.
