Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the most common questions we get asked at Funky Oz from people wanting to study in Australia 

Why should i study in Australia?

Over 600,000 international students representing 194 nationalities chose to study in Australia in 2017. Recent surveys conducted by Studies in Australia indicate four main reasons why international students choose to study in Australia:

  • Globally recognised courses and institutions
  • Lively and multicultural lifestyle
  • Reasonable study costs
  • Beautiful weather and landscape
How can I apply for an Australian student visa? What requirements do I need to meet?
The student visas section on our website will help you understand the requirements needed to gain a student visa. It also identifies the costs associated with applying. In most cases, you can apply for a student visa using either a letter of offer or a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from your institution. The application process can be completed online, by post or at a designated Australian visa office.

For further information regarding student visas, please visit the Department of Immigration and Border Protection website.

What English language tests are acceptable for Australian student visas?
There are five different tests accepted for Australian student visa applications:

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE)
Occupational English Test (OET)
Pearson Test of English (PTE).

Can I work during my studies in Australia?
Yes, you can work while you’re studying in Australia. International students are permitted to work a maximum of 40 hours per fortnight during study periods and unlimited hours during study breaks. There are no work restrictions for students completing a masters by research or doctoral degree.
Can I change my course or institution if I don’t like it?
