How to enroll in universities in Australia?
It is advisable to start the formalities 9 months before the scheduled departure date.
Warning ! The re-entry in Australia takes place at different times than Europe. Thus, the start of the academic year is in July, and it is possible to join a university during a semester in February.
Studies cost an average of 7,000 euros per year for university fees , which is a significant sum. These fees vary according to the diploma as well as the level of studies.
1. Enrollment in Australian universities:
They all recruit on file and only on file, there is no entrance examination . You will therefore have to go through the website of each of the universities to which you wish to apply and go to the “applying” section.
Recruitment criteria differ between universities, but the more well-known the university, the more difficult it will be to enter. So consider applying to universities with different profiles to increase your chances of being accepted.
If you are looking for external support, it is possible to turn to specialized agencies such as Study Experience.
2. The language test to validate your level of English:
As a foreign student, you will have to justify a certain level of language in English rather high compared to other English-speaking countries . Indeed, most Australian universities require a score of 90 on the TOEFL Ibt, or a score of 7.0 on the IELTS.
It is more than for the United Kingdom, see even the United States. However, universities often offer on-site refresher courses during the summer vacation period. At the end of this period, they will make you take an internal test which will validate or not your entry to the university (you can therefore be refused if you have not reached the required level!).
3. The student visa application once accepted:
Whether you want to study in Australia for a semester or a full year, you will need to apply for a student visa (Form 157A) at the Australian Embassy . You will be asked for your visa:
- A valid passport
- The letter from the university confirming that you have been accepted
- Costs of 255 euros
This will also allow you to work part time during your studies in Australia . It can take up to 8 weeks to obtain a visa , so do it quickly after receiving the confirmation letter from your host university.
Once all of these formalities have been completed, you can prepare to go to Australia!
