As you can see from the survey results that the competition is fierce among these universities when it comes to graduate outcomes. Australian Catholic University came out as a winner in both undergraduate and post graduate employment outcomes but other were not far either.
While these surveys were conducted just around the start of the COVID times, it is important to understand that there could be some consequences for the graduate employment after this pandemic.
The report mentioned that “following a downturn in economic activity, it can take graduates longer to successfully establish themselves in their careers.”
“When will border reopens in Australia for international students?”
A 40 billion dollar question asked repeatedly by international students, agencies, universities and the state governments.
Since March 2020, Australian borders are closed to everyone except Australian citizens and permanent residents.
It is estimated that more than 100,000 international students are stuck outside Australia since the travel ban was introduced in March.
While many more new applicants are waiting for the borders to reopen so they can finally make their way to study in Australia.
So in this article, we will try to uncover some facts and information we know about the reopening of the Australian borders so far.
First group of international students has arrived in Australia
A group of 63 international students have arrived in Australia eight months after the border closure were annouced in March 2020.
A charter flight from Singapore which landed in Darwin, Australia on 30 November 2020 were carrying the students from 5 different countries including:
China
Hong Kong
Indonesia
Japan
Vietnam
Students had to go through health screening before boarding the flight in Singapore.
They now will have to serve 14 days mandatory quarantine in Darwin before starting their study at Charles Darwin University.
The students paid the cost of the charter flight and the Charles Darwin University will be paying for the quarantine costs.
Other Pilot Programs to test international student arrival in Australia
As per the Education minister’s request, states and territories were asked to give their submissions for the safe arrival of international students in Australia.
But as reported byThe Sydney Morning Herald, none of the states or terriory met the deadline for the international students quarantine plan.
South Australia
Because of the new outbreak of the COVID-19 in Adelaide, South Australian government has paused the pilot program to bring international students.
Although, that program was pushed back due to international arrival concerns.
It is now known that students from the selected Asian countries (possibly students from Singapore, Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Hong Kong) and they will meet in Singapore where a charter flight will take them to Adelaide in South Australia.
The students will be required to do a 14 days mandatory quarantine as per the requirement by Australian Government for returning travellers.
This Pilot program was proposed by 3 South Australian Universities (Adelaide University, University of South Australia and Flinders University).
This program will allow maximum of up to 160 students for Adelaide University, 90 for University of South Australia and 45 for Flinders University.
At the moment, students whose study was interrupted by COVID-19 will be allowed to return to Australia under these pilot programs.
You can find further details about the program here.
New South Wales
NSW’s government is working on their plans to bring international students back in Australia and is expected to give their submission by this week.
Australian Capital Territory
ACT is also expected to handover their plans by this week as well. ACT was one of the first place to propose international students’ arrival in July but the plans got delayed to rise in the number of cases in Victoria.
Norther Territory
After successful implementation of the first pilot project in Australia, NT’s government is planning to put their proposal to Australian Government this week.
Victoria
The plans are underway to work on the proposal submission for bringing international students back safely in Australia.
Queensland
Universities are working on a proposal along with Queensland government but there is no submission to the federal government yet.
Western Australia
There has been no specific timeline given by the Western Australian governement for the return of international students.
Tasmania
Tasmania have not provided any specific deadline as well.
Update on international student’s arrival in Australia
⚠️ Please note that these are the estimates and assumptions used in the budget 2020-21 by the Australian Treasury.
As per the Australian Treasury estimates, released in the Budget 2020-21, it is estimated that Australia’s international borders could reopen in later parts of 2021.
As per treasury, COVID-19 is a once-in-a-century shock economies all around the world. It has reshaped Australia’s economic and fiscal outlook as well.
The budget papers also added that “A gradual return of international students and permanent migrants is assumed through the latter part of 2021, with small, phased pilot programs beginning to return international students from late 2020”.
As per SBS, Better health outcomes in some of Australia’s major trading partners and the successful implementation of international student pilots could allow an earlier return of international students in 2021.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison added that Australia will reopen its border when it is safe to do so.
Treasury also drew out the best case and the worst case scenario of border closures;
The Best Case: Large number of international students returning from 1st July 2021 with COVID-19 under control and a vaccine rolled out at the same time.
The Worst Case: Rolling breakouts of COVID-19 in Australia will result in strict containment measures which means delay in arrival of international students and tourists.
You can read the full budget documents and overview here.
What’s the situation in Australia?
Update: Victorian government has relaxed some restrictions from 28th September as the COVID-19 cases continue to fall. More details are here.
It has been very challenging times for everyone during this pandemic around the world.
In general, Australia has managed to control the spread of the virus really well with it’s strict lockdown measures.
Most of the states and territories in Australia are reporting very little to no cases over the last few months except Victoria.
The second wave of the Covid 19 in Victoria impacted the planned recovery for the most of the country. It also led to the postponement of the pilot program to bring international students back in Australia.
We discussed about that program here:
Factors that can affect the reopening of Australian borders
Now, how soon or late the Australian borders reopen will depends on few factors like:
How the second wave of the Covid situation pan out in Victoria
Any further outbreaks in other parts of Australia
How quickly the vaccine is ready for this virus
How the virus is controlled and managed globally
How willing Australian government is to take a risk for the economy to let international students come in from overseas.
There could be some other unknown factors as well which impact the reopening of the borders in Australia as it is a continuously evolving situation.
Estimated time frame for Borders Reopening
We wish we had the crystle ball to predict the exact dates of reopening of the border.
There is no official announcement of the dates of reopening of the Australian borders yet. It is hard even for the Australian Government to predict when the borders might reopen.
However, in one of the interviews, Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison mentioned that Australian borders will not reopen at least until the end of the year. It means that we don’t expect the international travel to restart at least until 2021.
Further to add, Simon Birmingham, Australian Tourism Minister have previously admitted that we might be looking around mid next year (July 2021) before the borders fully reopen.
Let’s say, even if the pilot project to bring international students in September 2020 is successful, we still don’t see thousands of other students coming back this year.
There could be a possibility that other states and territories might run similar pilot programs, especially ACT and Queensland before the end of the year.
So it safe to say then that International students can come back to Australia in the first semester of 2021? Well, very hard to predict that too.
What should I do?
Since Australian Government announced some changes to the student visas in July 2020, it is clear that granting of visas to international students will recommence.
It will allow students to travel to Australia when the borders reopen. If you don’t mind studying online from offshore, then you can do that till the time borders reopen.
Also, if you are still planning to apply for studying in Australia and you are in a position to do so, then you might consider to apply for a July 2021 or November 2021 intake to be on the safe side.
That being said again, no one knows how the situation will evolve in the next few months.
So, the best thing is to keep yourself updated with the news from trusted sources like ABC and also Department of Home Affairs.
You can also follow us on Facebook or Instagram as we will post the updates as soon as we get more info over there or sign up for our monthly newsletter.
Well, we hope you got some value from this article and we will keep updating this article as soon as we get further updates regarding that.
On 20th of July 2020, Alan Tudge, the acting minister for immigration and Dan Tehan, the education minister in Australia released a joint press statement that included the five major changes that they are making to student visas.
Following upon that announcement to the student visa changes, there is a further update on the free student applications for international students.
In this article, we are going to discuss:
✅ What is free student visa application?
✅ Who is eligible for this visa?
✅ How to apply for this visa?
✅ Other Student Visa Updates
What is free student visa application?
This free visa application is one of the major changes announced by Australian Government couple of weeks again.
Australian Government has decided to waive the visa application fee to allow international students to lodge a further student visa application to complete their study.
Basically, students who have been unable to complete the study due to COVID-19 pandemic, will be able to apply for a new student visa at no extra cost, to help them complete their study.
It is a very good initiative by Australian Government and finally some much needed relief for international students.
Who is eligible for this visa application?
There are few requirements to meet in order to be eligible for this visa application:
You must have held a valid student visa on or after 1st feb 2020
You were unable to complete your study due to Covid 19 pandemic
This waiver of the fee will be available to new student visa applications made after midnight 5th August 2020.
Please note: if you didn’t meet these requirements, then you are ineligible to apply for this free visa.
Also, it will only be available to the new visa application and no refunds will be issued to the applications made before 5th August
How to apply for this visa?
In order to get this student visa fee waiver, you will need to apply your student visa and you have to provide an additional form which is to be completed by your education provider.
Please note that this form needs to be completed and signed by your education provider.
You will be required to submit this form along with your student visa application.
You must apply for this visa online. You can be in or outside Australia when you apply.
If you are ineligible for this visa waiver or fail to submit this form along with your student visa application, then your application could be invalidated and you would be required to submit the new visa application.
Other updates:
In addition to the student visa fee waiver, there were 4 other major announcements, that includes::
👉 Australian government will recommence granting international students visas who are offshore. So this basically means when the borders are reopened international students who already have got their visas sorted they will be able to make arrangements to travel to Australia
👉 Online study undertaken outside Australia as a result of COVID-19 travel restrictions will count towards the Australian Study Requirement for existing and new student visa holders.
👉 Graduates affected by COVID-19 travel restrictions will be able to apply for and be granted a Temporary Graduate visa outside Australia (where they have met all the requirements)
👉 Flexible time-frame to be given to the international students to provide further information for the visa applications. So additional time will be given for applicants to provide English language test results, biometric information and health checks.
For more details on these changes, please check the Department of Home Affairs here.
Again, if you are in a doubt with your specific situation, then we suggest you to check with a registered migration agent for that.
What can I do after finishing my study in Australia? What are my options after graduation in Australia? These are some common questions that come in the mind of many international students in Australia who are nearly completing their study.
So in this article, we are going to explore 7 options after completing your graduation in Australia.
Option 1: Continue your further study in Australia
The first option for you is to continue your further studies. Many students after finishing their degree in Australia decide to continue their studies here. For example, you are completing your Bachelor Degree, then you can continue their Master’s Degree in Australia.
Obviously, students are already familiar with the Australian education system so it’s much easier for them to continue their further study.
Things you need to keep in mind before continuing your studies:
🟢 You may need to apply for a new student visa as your old student visa might be expiring. So if you need to apply for a new student visa application before the current visa expires.
🟢 You would also need to apply for the course that you would like to study. Even if you plan to study in the same institution or maybe if you want to study in a different institution or in a different city or state.
🟢 You may have to provide evidence for enough funds for your further studies.
🟢 You will also need to renew your OSHC (Overseas Students Health Cover) insurance.
If you don’t want to study further you can always look for other options.
Option 2: Travel around Australia
Australia is a beautiful country and if you like to have some confirmation for that, here is some proof of that.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CAFCmd2gSRN
So many international students after their graduation in Australia, like to take some break and travel around Australia. As most of the international students are quite busy while they are studying and working during their student visa, it’s a good idea to travel around and explore this country further.
International students can apply for a Visitor Visa (subclass 600) that allow them to stay up to a maximum of 12 months in Australia for travel purposes. Please note that you can not work on a tourist visa in Australia.
Option 3: Complete a professional year
If you have completed an accounting, engineering or IT related degree, then you can seek to obtain professional work experience. International students from these streams can apply for a professional year program.
This program can be really beneficial to learn how Australian workplaces operate and getting some work experience, which is a part of the program and can be further helpful in applying for your permanent residence
Additional 5 points can be claimed toward your permanent residence visa after successfully completing the professional year in Australia.
Option 4: Apply for a working holiday visa
If you are between the age of 18 to 30 years old and if you have a passport from one of the eligible countries you can apply for a work and holiday visa or a working holiday visa.
Working holiday visa can let you stay and work for 12 months and if you like, you can apply to extend it for a further 12 months. You must not be accompanied by dependent children. Check the list of eligible countries on Department of Home Affairs website.
This visa allows you to stay in Australia and work and travel at the same time. There are 2 different types of working holidays visas (subclass 417 & 462) available to apply for the people from eligible countries.
🟢 Working Holiday (subclass 417) visas are open to people who hold a passport from Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan or the United Kingdom.
🟢 Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visas are open to people who hold a passport from Argentina, Austria, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Peru Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, the United States, Uruguay or Vietnam.
Option 5: Apply for a temporary graduate visa
The next option is to apply for a temporary graduate visa (subclass 485). This visa allows international students who studied in Australia for at least 2 academic years to stay and work in Australia after finishing their studies.
This visa has two streams:
🟢 Graduate work stream – Graduate work stream allows students to gain valuable work experience and improve their English skills while they are working on their application for the skilled independent visa. It usually lasts for 18 months.
🟢 Post-study work stream – Post-study work stream is for those students who don’t want to stay in Australia permanently and would like to work after studying in Australia. This visa usually lasts from 2 to 4 years depending on the courses students have completed.
The duration of this visa will depend on your level of qualification:
🟢 Diploma or trade qualification – 18 months
🟢 Bachelor’s Degree (with or without Honours),
🟢 Master’s Degree by Coursework – 2 years
🟢 Master’s Degree by Research – 3 years
🟢 Doctoral Degree – 4 years
From November 2019, students who are planning to study in regional area universities will be eligible to access an additional 1 to 2 years in Australia on a post-study work visa. You can check more details on this here.
Option 6: Apply for a permanent visa
If your study was in the nominated skilled occupation list, then you might be eligible to apply for the Australian Government’s skilled migration program which could help you achieve permanent residence and citizenship in Australia.
One of the key benefits of studying in Australia is that it has a very attractive migration program and it gets millions of applicants every single year to meet its shortage in certain skills and areas.
Although, applying for permanent residency is not an easy task, so we suggest you check the Department of Home Affairs website for detailed information.
Also, if you are unsure about how you should proceed to apply for a permanent visa, then you should consider using the services of a registered migration agent for your visa application.
Option 7: Return back home
Last but not least you can always return back to your home country. If you don’t want to work in Australia or travel after your studies, then it’s time to pack up your bags, leave Australia and return back home.
Although it can be tough after living in Australia for so long to return back to your home country. Many international students succeeded in their career after returning back to their home countries as well.
If you are planning to move back to your home country, make sure to plan ahead and sell bulky items to avoid expensive shipping. You should also look into cancelling your utilities and paying off your bills before leaving. Also, make sure to join your institute’s Alumni to keep in touch with your fellow alumni.
So these were some of the options for international students after completing their studies in Australia. What are you planning to do after your graduation in Australia? We look forward to your comments below.
Disclaimer: Please note the information provided in this article is general guidance and does not constitute legal advice. Your circumstances could be different, so we suggest you consult a registered migration agent to discuss your situation for migration advice.
You’ll be needing and using a lot of things once you become a university student. Depending on the requirements set by your college and degree, you’ll have to bring an adhesive page marker, notebook, pen, calculator, and laptop. Some would even use a student planner and a flash drive.
You can bring all of these things with ease when you use a backpack during your stay at a university. A backpack is one of the top picks of almost every university student because it helps them stay organized, plus it’s convenient to carry and transport even for extended periods of time. What’s more is that it can help you be on-trend! But, with the number of backpacks available for university students today, do you know which to choose?
Listed below are some of the features every university student should look for when buying a backpack:
1. Wide, Padded Straps
You will put a lot of things in your backpack, which means that carrying it around for long periods can cause strain to your neck and back. Fortunately, choosing a backpack that has wide and padded straps can prevent this from happening. These straps will reduce the pressure from your neck and back, allowing you to carry your valuables with ease.
Backpacks with wide and padded straps can also provide added comfort, perfect if your classes will require you to walk from one building to another.
2. Compartments
As mentioned, you will need to invest in several items to excel and survive college. These items come in different sizes–your pens are small and light, while your notebooks are heavy and bulky. You might even have to carry fragile items, such as your laptop inside your backpack.
To ensure that none of your valuables are damaged as you’re carrying them, look for a backpack that comes with several compartments. The backpack you choose should have compartments for smaller items, such as your pens and keys, and larger items, like your notebooks. The more compartments the backpack has, the better.
Aside from taking care of your essentials, a backpack with several compartments will make it very easy for you to find items the moment you need them. You don’t want to miss out on taking notes during class just because you can’t find your pen inside your backpack, right?
3. Durable Material
You will be using your backpack for at least four years as you stay in the university. If you don’t want to see yourself buying different backpacks throughout the entire school year, make sure that you invest in a backpack that’s made from a very durable material. Look for canvas and nylon backpacks as these are known to be some of the most durable materials used for apparel.
When buying a durable backpack, don’t hesitate to extend your budget. Although it can be very tempting to buy a cheap backpack, don’t do it as this can usually mean that the product is made from low-quality or substandard materials. Buying this kind of backpack can result in more costs and stress as you’ll have to pay for repairs or replacements throughout the entire school year.
Although a durable backpack is usually expensive, buying this will be a cost-effective investment as this will last for years. A durable backpack will also reduce stress because you don’t have to go back from the start to search and buy a brand new backpack again.
4. Waterproof Material
Aside from the durability of the material used to make the backpack, you should also check if the material is waterproof or not. This is an important property to look for as this can significantly affect the condition of your valuables the moment you place them inside your backpack.
The weather is usually unpredictable, and using a non-waterproof backpack can compromise the overall quality of your valuables. Your notes will be drenched, and your laptop will be damaged when you place them inside a non-waterproof backpack and, then, heavy rain suddenly pours. This is one of the worst nightmares every college student fears.
5. Style
College is an important time of your life because this is when you’ll recognize your true self. College will encourage you to show off your personality and reach out to individuals who share your passions and interests. If you want to show off your style and stand out during this phase, consider the style of the backpack you’re going to use.
Backpacks come in different sizes and designs, making them so easy for you to choose one that truly fits your personality. You’ll be more encouraged to use your backpack if it enables you to showcase your unique style!
6. Other Small But Significant Details
Buying a backpack is an important deal because your comfort and health as a university student depend on the backpack you’re going to buy. Although most backpacks look the same–having several pockets outside and two large straps for the back–these products come in a wide variety and will require you to pay more attention to smaller details.
Before choosing a backpack, spend some time to check other small details, namely:
🎒Zippers: The quality of the zippers is important when choosing a backpack. How the zippers work can affect your convenience and safety as you’re using the backpack.
When buying a backpack, try out the zippers first. Check if you can use them with ease and if the backpack closes and opens using the zippers. It’ll be challenging for you to use your backpack if its zippers suddenly get stuck. This can also put your safety at risk as your valuables can be prone to theft.
🎒Hidden Pockets: If you want to have peace of mind every time you carry around your car keys, wallet, and smartphone, look for a backpack that comes with hidden pockets. These compartments will keep you safe from the prying eyes of pickpockets.
🎒Side Pockets: Getting your umbrella or tumbler out from your backpack can be very stressful. You’ll have to open the main zipper of your backpack before you can protect yourself from heavy rains or quench your thirst.
You can save yourself from the hassle by finding a backpack with side pockets. With this property, you can easily get your umbrella, tumbler, and other items without having to open the main zipper of your backpack.
Start Your Search Early
Now that you know what to look for in a backpack, start searching for retailers that sell this product. Compare at least three retailers so you can determine which among these offers high-quality backpacks at an affordable price.
