The real benefits of studying in Australia
Post-Study Work rights, 39 world-class universities, and a lifestyle that suits Indian families. What actually stacks up.
Australia currently offers one of the most balanced study-abroad propositions for Indian students. Why it works:
- •39 universities, seven of them in the QS Top 100.
- •Post-Study Work rights of 2–4 years depending on region and level.
- •Recognition of Indian degrees for further study and work (formalised in the recent India–Australia mobility agreement).
Start the offer-letter process at least 4 months before intake to leave time for CoE, health cover (OSHC) and visa lodgement.
