Study abroad
The same time zone as Vietnam, a large Vietnamese community and clear rules on part-time work. Living costs are high, but so are casual wages.
Why here
Three to four hours ahead of Vietnam, so calling home needs no planning, and direct flights take about eight hours.
International students may work up to 48 hours per fortnight during term and without limit during breaks.
The Temporary Graduate visa allows two to three years of work after graduation, depending on your degree level and field.
All seven Group of Eight universities sit inside the world top 100, and a single national accreditation system keeps standards even across the country.
Entry
These are the common thresholds for most programmes. Individual universities and departments may ask for more — the authoritative list is on the admissions page of the institution you are targeting.
High school completion with a 6.5 average for foundation programmes, or 7.5 for direct first-year entry at many universities.
IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0 for most undergraduate programmes. Medicine, pharmacy and teaching ask for more.
Proof of first-year tuition plus roughly 29,700 AUD of living costs, the figure published by the Department of Home Affairs.
A statement showing you genuinely intend to study: why that course, why that university, and what you plan to do afterwards.

Language preparation
Australia asks for IELTS 6.5 and also sets a floor on each individual band, so the roadmap has to lift all four skills rather than carry the overall score on two strong ones.
Diagnostic testing on each skill, academic vocabulary, and repair of underlying grammar. Target an even 5.5.
Time goes to the weakest skill, because Australia checks per-band floors rather than the overall score alone. Target 6.0 across all four.
Regular mock tests with detailed Writing and Speaking feedback. Target overall 6.5 with a 6.0 floor.
The courses below prepare for the exact tests this country requires. A consultation will confirm your entry point once we have measured your current level.
Band 0.0 – 4.5
For complete beginners, or anyone rebuilding their English from the ground up before starting exam preparation.
What you study
For anyone new to TOEFL iBT who needs a base in academic English and some practice on the computer before joining an exam class.

Full scholarship · Full award: tuition, living allowance, airfare, OSHC cover and a pre-course English programme
An Australian Government scholarship for master's study, prioritising fields tied to the development partnership between the two countries. Recipients commit to returning to Vietnam for at least two years after graduating.
Partial scholarship · A 10–50% tuition discount depending on university and field
Most Australian universities run their own funds discounting tuition by 10–50% for international students, assessed automatically from your admission application. Amounts and criteria vary by institution.
Process
Weigh field, state and tuition. States outside Sydney and Melbourne are usually considerably cheaper.
The university issues a conditional offer; meet the language condition to convert it into an unconditional one.
Pay the first instalment and buy OSHC cover so the university can issue the CoE — a mandatory document for the visa.
Apply online with your CoE, financial evidence and GTE statement, and complete the medical examination at an approved clinic.
Book flights, arrange accommodation and complete enrolment before term starts.
A general checklist. A specific institution or visa category may require further documents.

FAQ
It is the statement showing you are coming to Australia genuinely to study. Most visa refusals turn on this rather than on scores, so it needs to be specific about the course, the university and your plans afterwards.
It offsets part of your living costs, but 48 hours per fortnight will not cover tuition. Your financial evidence still has to account for the full first year.
Adelaide, Perth and mid-sized Queensland cities are considerably cheaper than Sydney or Melbourne on rent, while tuition differs far less.
No. The Department of Home Affairs decides, and no agency can guarantee that. We help you assemble the file and write a complete, consistent GTE statement.
Book a consultation so we can review your current level, budget and timeline. We will tell you what your application is still missing and how long the language threshold is likely to take.
