Study Abroad

International students willing to pursue a Diploma in business and management must meet certain eligibility criteria to be selected by the universities. Although some requirements can be specific to programs offered by universities, the following are some of the general requirements students need to take care of:

• Having a bachelor's degree from a recognised university or equivalent. (Generally, a 3-year bachelor's degree is accepted, but students must check the official website of their desired university to be sure.)
• Class 10th and 12th marks
• Academic transcripts
• Letters of recommendation or references
• Proof of English Language proficiency
• GMAT/GRE scores (not generally required but might help students to enhance their profile)
• A valid passport
• Photographs
• Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
• Work experience, if any

International students must apply for the Student Visa (subclass 500). Students can start the visa application process first by taking admission in a recognised university and Australia and receiving the Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). Students must show the proof of funds to cover tuition and cost of living expenses, travel expenses, which might go up to INR 14 L. per year. Students also need to submit certain documents, such as a valid passport, English language proficiency proof and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), and a statement of purpose showing intent of study in Australia. Additionally, the student visa also allows students to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study terms and full-time during holidays or semester breaks. The entire visa process may take up to 4 - 8 weeks.

After finishing graduation, graduates become eligible for the Temporary Graduate VISA (Subclass 485) under the Graduate Work System. The VISA allows international graduates to stay in the country and work for about 18 months to 2 years, as per their field of study. But students must make sure that their Diploma programme is eligible as per the Skilled Occupation List (SOL). Bachelor's and Master's degrees are more eligible for the Post Study Work Stream. But a Diploma graduate may still get benefits if their streams align with demands in areas such as management, HR, or administration. To apply, students must have completed at least two years of study in Australia, must have health insurance, and must meet the English language requirements.
