International Students have different entry level requirements depending on your passport and country of origin.
Your application for a student Visa will be assessed according to your assessment level. Your Assessment Level ( 1 to 5 ) is determined by the passport that you hold and the education sector of your principle course of study.
If you intend to study for 3 months or more, you will need to apply for a student visa. You must enrol for full-time study and pay compulsory medical insurance (OSHC). Students with a country assessment level 3 or 4 (refer above in the "Select your Country" menu under "Passport Country Selection") you will need to obtain a Pre-Visa Assessment (PVA) before confirmation of enrolment. After arrival, student visa holders can apply for work permission from the Immigration Department in Melbourne. Note student visa holders can work up to 20 hours a week.
