Most bachelor's degrees take about 3-4 years of full-time study, while master's programs usually last 1-2 years depending on the course and study mode.

You typically need a recognized high-school qualification (or bachelor's degree for postgrad), proof of English proficiency such as IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL, and to meet course-specific prerequisites like required subjects.

Most undergraduate programs require an overall IELTS score of 6.0-6.5 (or equivalent PTE score), with no individual band lower than 5.5-6.0. Competitive degrees may ask for higher scores.

International students generally pay between AUD 25,000 and AUD 45,000 per year in tuition for most degrees, and should budget roughly AUD 20,000-27,000 per year for living expenses depending on the lifestyle.

Many universities offer on-campus options such as residence halls or student apartments, and most have accommodation offices that also help students find safe, approved off-campus housing.
