What to know about studying in Australia
Rules and amounts change, and each university sets its own requirements. Use this as a starting point, then confirm details on the official pages linked below. Last reviewed October 2026.
Confirmation of Enrolment
After you accept an offer and pay the deposit, your provider issues a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE), which you need for the visa.
Student visa (subclass 500)
Most international students apply for the subclass 500 visa. Applicants must meet the Genuine Student requirement and show English, funds and health insurance.
Health insurance
You must hold Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the length of your visa.
Working while studying
Student visa holders can work up to 48 hours a fortnight while the course is in session, with no limit in scheduled breaks. Master’s by research and doctoral students have no limit.
After graduation
The Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) lets eligible graduates stay and work. The length depends on qualification level and other conditions.
