Student Visa, Higher Education (Subclass 573)
Welcome to Australia Immigration Visa Services. We provide information about the
Temporary Student Visa, Higher Education category. This visa is for those students who plan
to study for a Bachelor degree, a Graduate certificate or a diploma at an Australian University.
The student enrolment from overseas in Australian undergraduate courses has increased dramatically
in the last two years, to 38,555 in 2001. Education in Australia - where the climate is pleasant,
medical health is good and there are wonderful opportunities for sport and outdoor activities - has
proved a winner among international young people seeking qualifications for a bright career.
For this application the visa itself costs only AUD$430,
but you will be required to provide proof to the Australian Immigration
Department that you can pay for your course of study, living expenses,
medical insurance, school fees for your children (if you have a family)
and accommodation costs in Australia. There are also regulations about
your health and evidence required to prove that you are a genuine student.
