Study in Australia: Group of Eight, costs, and 485 visa

The Group of Eight (Melbourne, ANU, Sydney, UNSW, Queensland, Monash, UWA, Adelaide) dominate global rankings. Tuition ranges from AUD 30,000 to AUD 55,000 per year.

The Genuine Student (GS) test replaced GTE in 2024. Answer clearly why this course, why Australia, and what you plan next — vague answers get refused.

Subclass 485 duration depends on stream and qualification. Post-Vocational Education Work is up to 18 months; Post-Higher Education Work is generally 2 years for bachelor’s and coursework master’s qualifications and 3 years for research master’s and doctoral qualifications. Eligible regional graduates may separately qualify for a 1- or 2-year second visa.
