Why Choose Australia for Your Studies?

Australia is one of the top destinations for international students — offering high-quality education, great lifestyle, and exciting opportunities for the future. Australia continues to be a top destination for Nepali students seeking quality education, valuable global exposure, and better career pathways. Here’s why choosing Australia is a smart move:

World-Class Education

Australia hosts 7 of the world’s top 100 universities, QS World University Rankings for the year 2025, published by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) — a leading global higher education analytics company based in the UK. Institutions like the University of Melbourne, Monash, UNSW, and ANU offer globally recognized degrees across a wide range of disciplines.

Example: A Nepali student completing a “Master’s in data science” from Monash is now working in a multinational firm in Sydney.

Post-Study Work Rights (Subclass 485)

Graduates from eligible courses and institutions can apply for the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485).

  • Bachelor’s and Master’s by Coursework: Up to 2–3 years
  • Master’s by Research or PhD: Up to 3–4 years
  • Regional campus graduates: Additional 1–2 years

Update 2024-2025: Students must meet the Australian Study Requirement (ASR) with at least 2 academic years of CRICOS-registered study.

Example: A student completing a Master’s in IT in Adelaide (regional area) may be eligible for up to 5 years total stay post-study.

Safe, Supportive & Multicultural

Australia is ranked among the top 10 safest countries globally. With a diverse and inclusive society, Nepali students can enjoy a friendly environment, cultural festivals, and dedicated student support services.

Choosing a course aligned with Australia’s skilled occupation lists increases job and migration prospects.

In-Demand Courses with Career Outcomes

  • Nursing, Aged Care, Social Work (High demand in regional areas)
  • IT & Cybersecurity (Rapid industry growth)
  • Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical)
  • Accounting, Finance, and Business Analytics

Example: A Nepali student pursuing a Bachelor of Nursing in regional Queensland is on a PR pathway through employer sponsorship and skilled migration.

Scholarships & Financial Assistance

Many universities offer merit-based scholarships (10–30% tuition discounts) and special grants for international students.

  • Monash International Leadership Scholarship
  • University of Sydney International Scholarship
  • Destination Australia Scholarships for regional campuses

Migration Pathways

Studying in Australia can open doors to Permanent Residency (PR) through:

  • Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)
  • State Nomination (Subclass 190)
  • Regional Provisional Visa (Subclass 491)

Courses aligned with the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or state skill lists are ideal for PR planning. It’s a list of occupations that are in high demand in Australia for the medium to long term. The list is published and regularly updated by the Australian Government to meet labor market needs.

Example: A Nepali student completed a Master of Social Work, applied for PR under subclass 190 (Victoria), and now works as a case manager.
