Some institutions make an additional charge to cover other student costs. These may include student organization membership, library and laboratory costs and sports facility costs.

Undergraduate AUD 10,000 – AUD 16,500 per annum
Postgraduate AUD 9,000 – AUD 18,5000 per annum
Entry Requirement
Undergraduate courses require an Australian Senior School Certificate of Education (Year 12 completion from Nepal) or the overseas equivalent of Australian high school matriculation, such as three passes at GCE A Levels in appropriate subjects. Some courses may also have certain pre-requisite subjects.
Postgraduate
Entry to postgraduate courses requires satisfactory completion of a first degree at undergraduate level (Bachelors). Demonstrated research ability or relevant work experience may also be taken into consideration
Evidence of English language proficiency is required when applying for a student visa. Depending on your proposed study sector you will need to have a minimum score of 6.0 in the IELTS English test.
Part Time Work:
International students studying in Australia on a student visa can apply for permission to work once they commence their course. A visa with permission to work enables you to work up to 20 hours a week on a casual basis during course time and full-time during vacation periods. In some cases family members can also apply for permission to work up to 20 hours a week throughout the year.
Most students take part-time or casual jobs at some time during their studies. Some jobs are closely tied to courses of study (such as formal cadetships and informal arrangements such as part-time work by law students in solicitors' offices). Some students tutor school children or get jobs on campus in the canteen, the bookshop, in the institution's offices and as laboratory assistants. Some jobs are entirely outside the education community such as bartending, babysitting, gardening, hospitality, sales, information technology, restaurants, checkout work or fruit picking.

You can choose from a vast range of courses including traditional academic areas of learning and research, as well as more practical courses with a vocational orientation.

Internationalization of higher education and research is of great importance and Australian universities are major participants in international education and research projects and initiatives.

There are also student and staff exchange programs with institutions in the USA, UK, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Visa Procedure
You can be granted a student visa only if you wish to undertake a registered course or part of a registered course on a full-time basis. A registered course is an education or training course offered by an Australian education provider who is registered with the Australian Government to offer courses to overseas students.
You may undertake any course of study for less than three months on a visitor visa or working holiday visa. If you intend to study for more than three months, you must apply for a student visa.
There are advantages to applying for a student visa. If you are studying on a student visa you:
have access to Australia's subsidized student health cover
are able to study for more than three months
are generally able to change status to an overseas student in Australia, and
can also apply for permission to work.
Students wanting to study in Australia can apply for a student visa after they have received a letter of offer or electronic confirmation of enrolment (eCoE) in relation to one or more full-time courses of study. However, it is recommended that you do not enroll in your course or obtain an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) until you have been advised to do so by your local Australian Government office, i.e., Australian High Commission, New Delhi, India.

How to make your application, and what your document requirements will be.
Generally, an international student is issued with a multiple entry visa for the duration of their study course in Australia. This allows you to travel backwards and forwards to Australia within the period for which it has been granted. Members of your immediate family (spouse and unmarried dependent children under 18 years of age) may accompany you to Australia and will be considered in the same visa class as yourself. If you wish to extend your stay in Australia for further study you will need to lodge an application for a further visa.
