AUSTRALIA APPLICATION FORTNIGHT
Australia
is a multicultured , safe and sophisticated society in which students can learn
and get a unique experience. Apart from a world class education system, it also
offers excellent value for money and a standard of living which is among the
highest in the world.
Australian qualification and institutions are recognized globally for their high quality
and excellence. Graduates from Australia are very successful in finding jobs
and hold prominent positions worldwide. Additionally, they are rapidly accepted
for postgraduate study (in Australia) at leading international universities.
Priya
Kamineni , International Regional Manager, Bond University says “Australia is a
great destination for education and living, it has a highly developed education
system and leading in many fields. The people are friendly; the place is
not crowded and they have skills shortages in many areas, so there is plenty of
opportunity for the right candidates.”
Australian universities offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses covering areas such
as accounting, architecture, business and management, communications,
computers, IT, creative arts, economics , education/training, engineering,
environmental studies, health services, humanities/social sciences , tourism
and hospitality, law, nursing , psycology, sciences and more. Also, MBA in Australia is
available for freshers.
There are dual degree options available with MBA with
masters in IT, hospitality, international business, commerce , HR and many
more. So, students get 2 Awards in hand after course completion.
Students who go to Australia for
full time studies can also work part time for 40 hours per fortnight while
studying and 40 hours per week during their vacations. This helps the students
to cover their living expenses and sometimes even save for their following
semester.
Effective
from 24th March 2012 Australian Government has introduced
Streamlined Visa Processing (SVP) arrangements for a specified list of
Australian Universities and partner institutes. The student must hold a CoE
(Confirmation of Enrolment) and eventually study a Bachelor, Masters or
Doctoral Degree.
Under the SVP, funds need not be held for a specific period of
time or of a specific nature as long as the student is a Genuine Temporary
Entrant (GTE) ie. he intends to study at Australia, will study a Bachelors,
Masters, PHD degree eventually and he can afford to study in Australia. This is
a very positive step in terms of providing access to higher Education in
Australia to students from all countries.
The
onus of the student rests with the university. Students who do not wish to be
assessed under the SVP may continue to apply for their visa under the regular
system in Sub-Class 573-AL 3 ( or as the case may be ) where they have to show
funds in acceptable format for a specified period of time.
In early 2013, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship
(DIAC) will clarify details whereby graduates who have spent at least two
academic years studying their degree in Australia will be allowed two years
Post-study work rights. Master by research graduates to receive three years of
Post-study rights and PhD graduates to receive four years post-study work
right.
We are also encouraging students to
come for counselling and meet University representatives and get more
information. Students can avail a fee waiver during the application fortnight
which is between 9th April - 21st April. At this time
students can also interact with Alumni from an Australian University and gain
more knowledge about student life on campus. The world stands for you, you just
need to move one step forward.
