Introduction to the specific application steps for studying in Australia

Australia is one of the most popular countries for studying abroad in the world. Students from all over the world choose Australia as their destination for further study because of the high quality of education in Australia and the lower cost of studying abroad than the two old study abroad countries, the United States and the United Kingdom. However, it is not a simple matter to apply to study in Australia - international students generally need to complete the following steps.

1. Select courses and institutions and complete the study abroad program

Students who want to study in Australia need to make corresponding plans according to their own circumstances.

When formulating a study abroad plan, you should comprehensively consider your major, university/high school grades, English ability, learning ability, future job search direction, career planning, future employment and immigration planning.

It is best to prepare in advance. With the in-depth understanding of studying in Australia, your thoughts will also change to a certain extent.

2. College application

After determining the school and major to study, submit the application and prepare documents, graduation certificates, transcripts, notarized documents, personal identity passports and other materials. If the school has other requirements, it is also necessary to prepare relevant materials.

When applying, you need to ensure that your academic performance or English language ability can meet the school's admission standards. If you do not meet the requirements for the time being, you can make two adjustments. If you value the school’s reputation or geographical location, you can change to a relatively loose major or bridging course; PTE language test scores are recognized, and the PTE test is relatively simple and the scores are issued quickly.

In the current "era" where everyone is applying for multiple countries, some text materials can be used universally, but if it involves PS, especially the part of major intention, it is best to make adjustments according to the different majors of the application, which will increase your chances of admission.

Most application forms require:

● Personal information

● English proficiency document

● Academic details (transcripts, etc.)

● Course preference (reason for applying to course)

● Work experience (if any)

Students who have not yet completed the course can submit their latest test scores and submit their final scores after they have received their offer of admission. If the information provided is not in English, a duly certified translation must be provided.

3. Wait patiently for the application result

Once the school receives the application, it will evaluate it and communicate the results to the student. The application process takes several weeks (more for postgraduate applications).

Here is a special reminder to students applying for spring admission in Australian institutions, pay attention to the Christmas holiday in December, if you miss the deadline for supplementary materials and you submit during this time, the time will be extended.

4. Apply for a student visa

Once accepted, you can apply for a student visa in Australia. You need to use the Confirmation of Enrollment (COE) to apply for a student visa, you must purchase overseas student health insurance, and purchase international flights, book accommodation, etc.

5. Language test

Students who apply for studying in Australia are required to provide English language proficiency test scores, but different courses have different language requirements. If the English scores submitted at the time of application are not up to standard, you can go to Australia in advance to start the pre-sessional language class study, the time of visa application will also be advanced. As long as you submit a qualified language score later, you can receive a new offer.

It is best for students to prepare for the English test in advance. Not only will they have enough time to improve their English level, but they can also apply for the school they want with higher scores in multiple tests.

The PTE test is easy to apply for and can be taken throughout the year. The score is usually issued within 48 hours, which is very fast. The test is completed in 2 hours. It is fair and just, and is suitable for overseas applicants to obtain competitive English language scores. 100% of Australian undergraduate and postgraduate applications are recognized and can use PTE Academic English test scores.

6. Funding requirements

Visas for studying in Australia require financial guarantees. Due to the relatively large fluctuations in the exchange rate recently, it is recommended that students prepare funds in advance to ensure the deposit period.

7. Submission of visa application materials

To study in Australia, you need to obtain the COE, that is, the Confirmation of Enrollment to apply. Applicants need to pay the tuition fee and change to Conditional-COE after confirming the offer they have accepted; students who are studying in the language class need to change to the joint Con-COE, that is, language class + graduate double COE. After paying the tuition fee, the applicant goes to apply for the visa submission. Note that when applying for a visa, you must ensure that you can enroll before the time limit specified by the COE. Generally, you should apply for the visa as soon as you get it.

8. Visa processing

Student visas for studying in Australia generally use the EVisa electronic visa system, and the cycle is generally 4 weeks; ordinary visas generally take about 12 weeks. Individuals cannot complete electronic signatures! There is an obvious time-concentration peak for applying for a student visa: students who enroll in July generally concentrate most in May; students who enroll in February generally submit before December.

When submitting a student visa, you need to provide proof of deposit, admission COE confirmation letter, health insurance, physical examination and vaccination, etc. After submitting the visa, there will be some other requirements, and the applicant needs to track the progress of his application in time.

9. Enrollment, pre-departure preparation

After obtaining the student visa, applicants need to complete their bilingual graduation certificates, degree certificates, transcripts, etc. before enrolling in order to obtain a Full Offer. Also, don’t forget to register and choose courses on the school's official website.
