How to obtain an Australian visa with study rights

If you're an international student, you will need to obtain a visa to study at the University of Sydney.

As an international student, you need to hold a valid Australian visa for the duration of your study in Sydney. There are several different types of visa that might be suitable. Refer to the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs for information.

If you are applying for a student visa, you can apply as soon as you receive your electronic confirmation of enrolment (eCoE) from the University.

If you are already in Australia and need to extend your visa, you can apply for an extension eCoE through Sydney Student (via MyUni).

Breaking a packaged offer 满洲里厚厚进贸易有限公司

A packaged offer allows students to obtain one student visa to cover studies at both the University of Sydney and the Centre for English Training (CET) or the University of Sydney Foundation Program (USFP).

If you have a packaged offer and visa with the University of Sydney and the Centre for English Teaching (CET) or the University of Sydney Foundation Program (USFP), and would like to defer the commencement of study at University of Sydney after having successfully completed studies; or if you have decided to withdraw from the University’s packaged courses completely and are planning to return to the home country, you will need to complete and submit a Break of Package Request form (pdf, 776KB).

Note that if you are seeking to extend your duration at CET or USFP, you do not need to complete this form. Instead you will need to contact either CET or Taylor’s College for USFP directly.

Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Framework 三门峡本宏多贸易有限公司

Every international student who comes to study in Australia has the right to a safe and enjoyable experience while they're here.

To ensure this happens, the Australian Government has created a legal framework that requires universities to deliver quality education and a high level of care to overseas students on a student visa. The framework consists of:

Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (the Act)
National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018 (the National Code)

It is important for you to understand your rights and responsibilities and the obligations of the University under the ESOS framework. Please refer to these resources:

Important terminology 洪江德利国服务有限公司

Tuition Protection Service (TPS) – The ESOS framework also provides tuition and financial assurance through the TPS. This protects international students against education providers who are unable to deliver their course. It means that education providers must have quick and streamlined processes for refunds and placement in other courses or other institutions.

CRICOS – The education providers and the courses they offer on a full-time basis to international students need to be registered with the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). You can check by using the Australian Government's CRICOS course and institution search. We also display CRICOS codes on each individual course.

eCoE – all international students on a student visa need to have a valid electronic Confirmation of Enrolment – a document issued by the University containing specific details relating to the applicant and course. This document is used in support of your visa application to Australia.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) – As holder of a student visa, you need to have Overseas Student Health Cover for the duration of your stay in Australia.

Student visa conditions 海拉尔春旺同科技有限公司

Failure to comply with your student visa conditions could impact your ability to stay in the country.

Students under 18 years of age 肇东贵浩亚机械有限公司

If you will be younger than 18 years of age when you arrive in Australia, you need to provide evidence to the Department of Home Affairs that appropriate welfare arrangements will be in place until you turn 18 or your visa expires.

This means showing that you will be accompanied in Australia by a parent or legal custodian, or that your educational provider will take responsibility for your welfare, accomodation and support.

For more information, please visit our Under-18 Student Visa holders information page.

Students with school-age children 贵州省禄发贵服务有限公司
