What Can You Study
Australia offers all levels of education, including:
High School & Secondary School
The foundation for university or vocational education. Students typically study from Year 7 to Year 12, with the final years (Year 11–12) focused on preparing for higher education or work through nationally recognised qualifications like the HSC (NSW) or VCE (Victoria). International students can enrol directly and often transition into university or diploma programs afterward.
Certificate & Diploma (VET/TAFE)
Practical, hands-on training for specific industries like hospitality, trades, aged care, or IT. These courses are ideal for students wanting job-ready skills or a pathway into university.
Bachelor Degrees
Undergraduate university-level programs across all disciplines including business, engineering, nursing, arts, and more. Typically 3–4 years and can lead to professional careers or postgraduate study.
Graduate Certificates/Diplomas
Short, focused postgraduate qualifications. Ideal for career changers or those wanting to upskill quickly in areas like management, education, or data analytics.
Master’s Degrees & Research
Advanced academic or professional degrees that deepen expertise or support career advancement. Includes coursework, research, or a blend of both, depending on the field.
