Education
Course selection and career planning
College and university options
Australian study options include universities and other higher education providers, vocational colleges (registered training organisations), and English language colleges. Many students combine these, for example English, then a diploma, then a degree.
- Universities and higher education providers: bachelor, masters and doctoral degrees
- Vocational colleges: certificates, diplomas and advanced diplomas
- English language colleges: general and academic English courses
- Packaged study: a sequence of courses with one visa application, where available
Choosing a course that fits your goals
A good course choice considers your previous study and work, your English level, the total cost and duration, the location, and the career you want afterwards. If you are thinking about future visa options, those plans should be discussed early, because migration rules and occupation lists change.
- Your academic and work background, and any gaps to explain
- Entry and English requirements for the course
- Total tuition and living costs for the full course
- Graduate outcomes and the career the course leads to
Frequently asked questions
Do you choose the course for me?
We help you compare options and understand how each fits your goals and visa requirements. The final choice is yours, and admission decisions are made by the education provider.
Will a particular course help me get a visa after I graduate?
No course guarantees a future visa. Some courses may provide a pathway, subject to the rules that apply when you apply and your circumstances, so we recommend discussing your plans before you enrol.
