Capital: Canberra

Background:

Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name of Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country was able to take advantage of its natural resources in order to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. Long-term concerns include pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef. A referendum to change Australia's status, from a commonwealth headed by the British monarch to a republic, was defeated in 1999.

Higher Education:

In recent times, Australia has emerged as one of the favorite destinations for higher education and has built a strong reputation for educational excellence. Currently, there are 200 000 international students pursuing different types of courses at different levels in the country. Education in the country offers the students with new and varied opportunities. At the same time, the students experience an all-new world replete with unparalleled experiences. The programs offered in the universities are world-class and have worldwide recognition and a reputation for excellence.

Moreover, the relaxed and safe lifestyle is another factor why students increasingly choose Australia for higher education. Comparatively, the cost of education and living is also lower for the standards of education that Australian universities are second to none.

Australia’s rapid emergence on the international education scene has attracted huge number of students. In fact, Australia has a higher percentage of international students than the US or the UK. Cheaper courses are another reason why students prefer the country for further education. The country has a national set of education that has been endorsed by the national government. Entry into the Australian universities is tough as there is a high degree of competition. English proficiency is a must for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

Entry Requirement

Undergraduate

Undergraduate courses require an Australian Senior School Certificate of Education (Year 12 completion from Nepal) or the overseas equivalent of Australian high school matriculation, such as three passes at GCE A Levels in appropriate subjects. Some courses may also have certain pre-requisite subjects. You should also have minimum score of 5.0 in the IELTS test.

Postgraduate

Entry to postgraduate courses requires satisfactory completion of a first degree at undergraduate level (Bachelors). Demonstrated research ability or relevant work experience may also be taken into consideration. Evidence of English language proficiency is required when applying for a student visa. Depending on your proposed study sector you will need to have a minimum score of 6.0 in the IELTS English test.

Work Permit

International students receive permission to work along with their visa. You are allowed to work 20 hours a week during term and unlimited hours during term breaks or holidays. If any dependants come with you they are also allowed to work 20 hours a week if you are undergraduate student. In case you are pursuing a Masters or Doctoral degree your dependants may work unlimited hours.

Visa Procedure

You can be granted a student visa only if you wish to undertake a registered course or part of a registered course on a full-time basis. A registered course is an education or training course offered by an Australian education provider who is registered with the Australian Government to offer courses to overseas students. You may undertake any course of study for less than three months on a visitor visa or working holiday visa. If you intend to study for more than three months, you must apply for a student visa.

Students wanting to study in Australia can apply for a student visa after they have received a letter of offer or electronic confirmation of enrolment (e COE) in relation to one or more full-time courses of study. However, it is recommended that you do not enroll in your course or obtain an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (e COE) until you have been advised to do so by your local Australian Government office, i.e., Australian High Commission, New Delhi, India.
