Higher education

If you would like to study in Australia at a university or tertiary level then you may be eligible for the Higher Education Sector Visa (subclass 573) or Postgraduate Research Sector Visa (subclass 574). If your intention is to study a non-award foundation studies course or components of a course (other than English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students) that does not lead to an award then the Non Award Sector visa (subclass 575) may suit your needs.
For those who intend to come to Australia to undertake English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) the Independent ELICOS Sector visa (subclass 570) provides this option.
In some cases it is possible to package your studies on the one visa subclass. For more information please see Course packaging.
Eligible student visa applicants from participating education providers may also be able to apply for Streamlined student visa processing.
If you have finished your studies and wish to work in Australia temporarily, please see Post-study work arrangements or our Working visas.
