Top 3 reasons for study abroad Australia include:

Diversified education:

Educational institutions in Australia offer a wide range of degrees and courses to choose from. When selecting a study overseas destination, a key consideration is usually of successfully shortlisting the schools that best cater to the interests and requirements of the student concerned.

High standard of education:

The Australian education system is globally recognized. With the government regulating the education imparted in the universities and colleges in Australia, a high standard of education is maintained throughout the country.

Attractive post-study work rights:

When you study abroad in Australia, you can avail attractive post-study work rights on the successful completion of your studies.

 Once you complete your studies, you can stay on in Australia on:

  • Graduate Work Stream under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485)
  • Post-Study Work Stream under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485)

Difference between the Streams

Graduate Work Stream Post-Study Work Stream

For those overseas students that have graduated recently with a degree from an Australian institution.

Can I bring my family with me? Yes. Yes.
Eligibility You must have a qualification that is relevant to an occupation on the skilled occupation list.

You must have a recent degree in a CRICOS-registered course.

While bachelor degree students can avail post-study work rights up to 24 months, post-graduates get the same for up to 4 years.

In Australia, international graduates have full work rights, without the requirement for a job offer. International graduates are not even required to work in an area that is limited to skills shortage.

The subclass 485 is regarded as a pathway to achieving Australian permanent residency. More the reason for its immense popularity, especially among the Indian students.
