Guest liaminho Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'm moving to Oz when i'm 18 next October time. To apply for universities, would i have to apply as an international student or is there another category for English-speaking foreigners? Any information or experiences on this subject would be appreciated. Thanks :notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samozsoon Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi Liam Do you know what visa you are going on? Will you be on a student visa or are you migrating on your parents visa? I think, if you are going on a PR Visa (probably your parents) then you wont pay international fees just the normal fees that the Oz kids pay, although you wont get any help (student loan) with them until you are a citizen. If you are going on a student visa, sorry I cant help with that, although someone should be able too soon. Sam x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynandsean Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Agree with Sam, if you are going over on a permanent resident visa with your parents then you are classed as a resident, if however you are going on a student visa you are classed as an international student. They dont differentiate between students of different countries. Good luck Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connaust Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 As others say, you are classed as International Student unless you have residency? Either way you pay fees (local is cheaper of course), but remember you can start in the cheaper (TA)FE sector and transfer to ubniversity later, if you need to.....lifelong learning in Oz so you can study anytime.

Guest pabloke99 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 You can be sponsored by the ADF after successfully completing the 1st year of a 3 year degree course. You must be a Oz citizen or.......a permanent resident with the intention to apply for full citizenship. 31k p.a. plus subsidised accommodation, so your dad only has to support you through the first year. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
