Education and Course Admission

At Nationwide Migration, we understand that choosing the right education pathway in Australia is one of the most important decisions for your career and future. We are proud to assist onshore students, those already in Australia, with comprehensive education and course admission services, from guidance in course selection to seamless admission into Higher Education or Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutions.

Our services are exclusive to onshore students. We are not currently extending our service to offshore applications, allowing us to provide personalized and localized support to students who are already in Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the basic requirements to apply for a course in Australia?

To enrol, you generally need:

  • Minimum academic qualification required for your chosen course.
  • Evidence of meeting the Genuine Student (GS) requirement.
  • Proof of sufficient financial capacity to cover tuition and living expenses.
  • English language proficiency (IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, etc.) as per the course requirement.

We can assist with your visa application preparation, from course enrolment to lodgment and guidance on your study and PR pathways.

How do you help me choose the right course and institution?

We work in the best interest of our clients. We assess your:

  • Academic background
  • Career aspirations
  • Professional Experience
  • Migration goals

Then, we recommend courses and institutions that best match your objectives and have a strong migration pathway potential. In addition, our Registered Migration Agents can help you with planning for long-term migration pathways like the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) and permanent Residency.

Can I work while studying in Australia?

Yes.

  • Most student visa holders can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods, and full-time during official breaks.
  • If you are studying a Master's by Research or Doctoral degree (PhD), you have unlimited work rights throughout your course duration.
  • Work rights can also vary depending on government policy changes, and we keep you updated on the latest rules.
  • Secondary applicant will have full-time working rights if the primary visa holder is studying a Master's of Coursework or a master's by Research or Doctoral degree (PhD).
How long does the course admission and visa process take?

Admission to a course can take 4 weeks to several months depending on the provider.

Visa processing can range from 4 weeks to several months depending on whether you have applied for a VET Course, Higher Education or Research Degree, and also whether you have applied onshore or offshore. You can look at the global visa processing times.

We recommend starting your application at least 6 months before your intended start date to receive the visa grant in time, but we can also handle last minute applications.

Is my English proficiency sufficient, or do I need additional preparation before applying?

Yes. All international students must meet the English language requirements for both course admission and visa eligibility. For tests taken on or after 1 August 2025, the Department will only accept test scores from approved tests undertaken at a secure test centre.

If you do not meet the required score, we can help by:

  • Recommending ELICOS (English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students) programs
  • Arranging package offers so you can improve your English first, then progress to your main course.
  • Some applicants may be exempt, for example, if they are citizens of certain English-speaking countries or have completed recent qualifying education in Australia or other specified countries.
Can I change my course or institution after arriving in Australia?

Yes, but:

  • You must comply with your visa conditions and the education provider transfer rules.
  • If you change before completing 6 months of your principal course, you'll need your current provider's release approval.
  • It is also recommended to maintain your AQF level if you are thinking about changing the course.
Do you assist with scholarships or financial aid?

YES! We have providers who can provide 30-40% Scholarship. In addition, we can help you find:

  • Institutions that offer merit-based or regional scholarships for international students.
  • Advice on applying for external scholarships and funding sources relevant to your background.

  • If your course meets the Australian study requirement, you can earn valuable points for skilled migration and strengthen eligibility for PR pathways.
