University of Southern Queensland

We have not yet researched this university's admission pages, so we will not guess its deadlines or fees. Start from its official website and look for “international admissions”. The general process for Australia — exams, application platform, visa and costs — is in the Australia guide.

Australia offers globally ranked universities, a large international-student system, and a post-study work visa tied to qualification level. Indian students go for research strength, work rights during study, and pathways to skilled migration, but the government has sharply raised the student visa fee and tightened the genuine-student and financial-capacity checks since 2024.

Visa

Student visa (subclass 500) — AUD 2,500 · about ₹1.7 lakh

Work while studying

Up to 48 hours per fortnight during study terms/semesters; no fortnightly cap is stated for scheduled course breaks (Study Australia).

After graduating

Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485): Post-Vocational Education stream up to 18 months; Post-Higher Education stream usually 2-3 years depending on qualification (5 years for Hong Kong/BNO passport holders in both streams); a Second Post-Higher Education Work stream of 1-2 years exists depending on where the applicant studied regionally (Study Australia).
