The Case for Australia
8 reasons our counsellors weigh in on Australia
Multiple Genuinely Top-100 Universities
UNSW (#19), Melbourne (#22), Sydney (#28), ANU (#29), and Monash (#31) all sit inside the QS World Top 40 (2027) — real, globally recognised degrees.
Real Post-Study Work Rights
The Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) gives 2 years for bachelor's and coursework master's graduates, up to 3 years for research master's and PhD — no sponsor required to start.
Costs Have Risen — Budget Honestly
Visa application fees, tuition, and living costs have all increased, and visa applications from India have fallen by more than half from their 2023 peak as a result. Australia can still make sense, but it's no longer the budget option it once was.
Work While You Study
Student visa holders can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during term time, and unlimited hours during official course breaks.
A Large, Established Indian Community
Over 122,000 Indian students already study in Australia, with well-established communities in Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide.
Group of Eight Research Strength
Australia's Go8 universities are genuine research powerhouses, with deep industry links across engineering, health sciences, and technology.
A High Quality of Life
Consistently ranked among the world's most liveable cities, with strong healthcare, safety, and multicultural infrastructure.
Choose Your City and Course Carefully
With costs higher than before, the biggest lever for value is picking a course with genuine local job demand and a city with a lower cost of living than Sydney or Melbourne.
