At IEA-Australia, we believe that studying abroad is an opportunity for personal growth.
In 2016, Australia ranked third place with the number international students enrolled in institutions, trailing behind the United Kingdom and the United States. As many as eight of the world’s top 100 universities are located right in the land of kangaroos.
Studying across the hemisphere means not only attending quality courses and schools, but also having an easier time entering the labour market. University is not the only option! For those who have completed their high school studies, there are many professional courses in Australia that offer excellent opportunities.
Young people in Europe may struggle to find a job but 72% of young people in Australia find a job only four months after the end of their high school studies. For a recent graduate, entry level wages can exceed $50,000 AUD per year.
HOW TO STUDY IN AUSTRALIA: THE AVAILABLE TRAINING COURSES
The study paths that are available in Australia are varied to meet the needs of each student.
English Language Skills for Non-Native Speakers
If you’re a non-native speaker, you will want to prioritise improving your English language skills when arriving in Australia. These skills will help in your working and personal life. There are many different English language courses to choose from that are essential to access specific professional or academic paths.
Beginner: for those who are starting from scratch.
Advanced: for those who already speak English but wish to improve.
Business English course.
Courses to improve pronunciation and vocabulary.
Courses to obtain a language certificate (IELTS, TOEFL and Cambridge).
The average duration of these courses is 12 weeks, but you can choose longer or shorter courses according to your needs.
Vocational Education and Training (VET)
However, if your English is already great and you want to focus on a path that can help you with your work, you can opt for a professional course (or VET). VET is a training course with strong practical content that was created with the aim of preparing for a specific profession. There are VET courses for almost all employment sectors, so it won’t be difficult to find a route that is in line with your area of interest.
There are a number of VET courses that only take three months to complete. These short-term courses are a great option for students looking to earn credit towards a degree or experience what it’s like to study abroad in Australia.
University or Post-Graduate Study
There is also the possibility of attending a university or post-graduate course in Australia. This choice can be very demanding, in bureaucratic, organisational and financial terms, as university is very expensive in Australia. Just remember, if it’s easy to dream it, it’s easy to live it; university is definitely an option for international students.
Choosing the Correct Visa
Any course you choose to study in Australia requires a visa. The Working Holiday Visa allows you to study and follow a course for four months and work in the meantime, without any limit to weekly hours.
To undertake a full-time course, the Australian government requires you to have a Student Visa. This special visa allows you to stay in Australia for the duration of your coursework, and to work part-time during the course and full-time during breaks. Student Visas are valid for the duration of a course and can even be extended for up to five years.
