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
Who is this for?	For overseas students that have graduated recently with the qualifications and skills relevant to specific occupations in Australia.	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.
