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.

Partner institutions
