OVERVIEW
Why students choose Australia.
Australia blends an internationally respected education system with one of the most liveable environments in the world. Degrees are recognised globally, and graduates are eligible for post-study work visas.
For Nepali students, Australia offers a clear path: strong universities, defined work rights during study, and a transparent post-study work stream. Popular fields include business, IT, nursing, engineering and hospitality management.
The Australian education system is regulated by the ESOS framework, which protects international students' rights — from tuition protection to refund guarantees.

WORK & STAY
Working during and after your studies.
Australia allows international students to work up to 48 hours per fortnight while your course is in session, and unlimited hours during scheduled course breaks.
After graduation, the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) lets you stay and work — typically 2 years for a bachelor's degree, 3 years for a master's by coursework, and up to 4 years for research qualifications or study in regional areas.
We help you understand the difference between the Post-Study Work stream and the Graduate Work stream, and which one matches your qualification.
