Quoll Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 You should get credit for the units you have done in UK - best check with the uni and ask them though. If you are coming on a permanent resident visa then you will have to pay your fees (between $5k and $10k per annum) up front each semester. If you are coming on a 457 visa then you will be a temporary resident and up for international student fees ($10k+). An honours degree in Aus will take you 4 years rather than the 3 years it will take you in UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cob Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 try Study In Australia and New Zealand - they will coordinate any application to a uni in oz. my daughter got a place at melbourne uni. as we are on a 457 visa we have to pay full international fees ( over$20k per year plus compulsory health insurance over $1000 per year) i am not sure about western australia - it may be different. her degree is for 3 years. they assessed her a-levels in a similar way to ucas. the year starts in 2 weeks time but there are intakes for some degrees in july ( second semester) good luck! cath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
