Australia pairs research-heavy universities with the most generous post-study work rights of the major destinations — two to four years depending on the qualification and where you study. For students who intend to work after graduating rather than return immediately, that is the deciding factor.
Tuition and living together put a three-year bachelor near a crore taka. Regional campuses cut both the fees and the living cost, and add an extra year of post-study work rights, which is why we usually shortlist beyond Sydney and Melbourne.
The visa now turns on a written Genuine Student statement. We draft it with you around your academic history, finances and career plan, because a weak statement is the single most common reason a well-qualified student is refused.
Students
The Genuine Student statement was the part I was most worried about. We drafted it together over two sessions and the visa came through without a single query.
