Australia provides a variety of options if you want to accelerate your career, pursue a top-notch degree, or continue your education there. In terms of standard of life, academic excellence, and support for international students, Australia is hard to beat, whether you want to pursue an MBA, engineering degree, humanities program, or English language course.
It's one of the most sought-after locations for Indian students because of its excellent educational standards, wide range of course options, and post-study employment chances. Studying in Australia gives you the opportunity to select from 22,000 courses offered by 1,100 universities and other educational establishments, earn degrees that are recognized throughout the world, look into different scholarship options, and learn from the top teachers in the world.
The type of study you choose to pursue, the length of the program, and the course level will all determine what kind of visa you require. You would need a student (subclass 500) visa if you were an overseas student, regardless of your subject of study, the university you applied to, or the cost of tuition.
A student subclass 500 visa, which went into effect on July 1, 2016, allows you to remain and study in Australia for the length of your study program, which is often up to five years, starting on the day of enrollment. You must make sure your visa is still valid and that you follow the terms outlined on your student visa in order to have a trouble-free stay. The Department of Home Affairs website of the Australian government has comprehensive information regarding this type of visa.
The sort of certification you choose and the institution or school you attend will determine how much it costs to study in Australia. For example, degrees in medicine and veterinary science are far more expensive than degrees in other fields. In Australia, the average annual tuition for higher institutions is between AUD 20,000 and AUD 30,000.

Unlike a single intake in Indian universities, Australian colleges and universities offer two major intakes. In some universities, intakes may also be referred to as a semester. The two intakes available in Australia are:
Semester 1: Starts late February/early March to late May/early June
Semester 2: Starts late July/early August through to November
