International students

Moving to Australia to study is a big deal. There’s lots to organise. Lots to learn. That’s why we give our international students extra support every step of the way. Applying for a course, finding a place to live, enrolling – we can help with all of this. We’ll even pick you up from the airport when you arrive.

Understanding costs 

We can give you an idea of how much rent, food and bills will cost. You can also use this cost of living calculator if you want to add transport and entertainment expenses. 

Campus accommodation 

Living on campus can help make your transition to uni easier. You’ll get to meet other students living away from home and you’ll definitely appreciate the short commute to class. 

Partner institutions 

Did you know that we’ve got links to other institutions in Australia and overseas? You can study through Federation in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, as well as China and Sri Lanka.
