Studying in Australia
How much can I save with the pathway route?
By completing Levels 4–5 locally, you typically pay international Australian fees for one to two years instead of three — exact savings depend on university and course, and we will give you a line-by-line comparison.
Can I work while studying?
Yes — student visa holders currently have capped part-time work rights during semester and full-time during breaks. We brief you on the current rules before you fly.
When should I apply?
Ideally 6–9 months before the February or July intake, especially if you need visa processing time.
