Do universities help students find employment?
Yes, you can always reach out to your university’s career services and they help you with career advice and suitable vacancies in the city.
Most student visas allow up to 40 hours of work every two weeks during your course. You may also be able to work as many hours as you like during semester breaks. However, double-check your visa before starting any kind of paid work.
How to find work while studying
- Ensure that your CV is updated
- Look for job ads in newspapers and online job sites such as SEEK, Indeed, Gumtree, etc.
- Check if your institution has any job notice-boards on campus or online
- Reach out to your university’s career services for help
- Register your interest with a recruitment firm
- Network. Be active on LinkedIn, join relevant forums, participate in meetups and build relationships with people in your industry.
Working after completion of your studies in Australia
If you want to stay and work in Australia after you finish your studies, you’ll need to get a new visa first.
If you have completed a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctoral degree, you may be eligible for the Post-Study Work stream of the Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa.
In some cases, your new employer may be able to sponsor you for a new visa. You should speak with someone from your work’s Human Resources or Recruitment team to find out if this is possible.
If you don’t have an employer to sponsor you, and want to stay in Australia longer-term to develop your professional career, you can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect.
How to find work after graduation
Students in India are often dependent on college placements for getting a job after completion of their studies. However, there’s no concept of campus drives and placement guarantee abroad – you’ll have to look for suitable jobs yourself.
Your university’s career service will be there to assist you with your job interviews or even connect you with suitable employers, but the rest is your battle.
Always keep your network and skillset strong. Ensure that you do relevant internships during your program and acquire decent business communication skills. You could also ask for reference letters from your university professors or program coordinators.
Studying abroad can be an expensive affair but planning your budget smartly can help you get a hold of your finances effectively. Before you depart from India, ensure that you consider expenses like accommodation, food, health coverage and travel along with your tuition fee when calculating the estimated cost of studying in Australia. This will help you plan your budget more effectively.
1. Tuition fee is your prime expenditure
Your expenditure on tuition fee depends on the type of qualification and the university or school you opt for. For instance, veterinary and medical degrees cost substantially more than other degrees. The average tuition fees at one of Australia’s tertiary institutions ranges between AUD 20,000 and AUD 30,000 a year.
| S.No | Study Program | Average Fee (in Euros*) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | School | $7,800 to $30,000 annually |
| 2 | English language studies | $350-450 weekly (varies as per course length) |
| 3 | Vocational Education and Training (Certificates I to IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma) | $4000 – $22,000 annually |
| 4 | Undergraduate Bachelor’s degree | $15,000 – $35,000 annually |
| 5 | Postgraduate Master’s Degree | $20,000 – $42,000 annually |
| 6 | Doctoral Degree | $20,000 – $42,000 annually (attractive scholarships up to 100% available with living grants on meeting the university requirements) |
*Please note all figures are indicative
Most commonly, courses in humanities, arts, and education are a little cheaper, while subjects such as medicine and engineering are likely to be more expensive. If you wish to study at a postgraduate level, the tuition fee is typically higher, and the costs vary depending on the program. If you want to bring down your educational expenses, it is best to apply to various scholarships are available for Indian students.
2. Where will you live? Calculate accommodation costs
Most universities in Australia offer on-campus residence facilities to international students. You can also opt for off-campus accommodation wherein you can share apartments with other students from India or stay with a local Australian family. The rent is usually paid every two weeks in advance. Remember, the rentals vary from city to city.
3. Cost of your student visa
To study in Australia, the first step is to secure a valid student visa that comes with its own costs (approx. AUD 606). Feel free to consult your Reagan Global counselor for the latest updates and information on the visa application process and related costs.
4. Living expenses
You need to keep a little money aside for your grocery shopping, social activities, and emergencies. When living in a foreign country as a student, it is better to keep track of your expenditures so that you do not overspend. According to the Australian Government, general living expenses amount to $21,041 per year. An international student spends between $20,000 and $27,000 per year (given your living arrangements and personal choices).
5. Keep safe. Consider health support and insurance
It is mandatory for all students scheduled to travel to Australia from India to get medically insured before the commencement of their program. The average cost for medical insurance ranges around AUD 500 a year (indicative). Extensive health and support services are readily available for all Indian students in Australia.
6. Don’t ignore your taxes
Indian students in Australia cannot work without acquiring their Tax File Number (TFN). With this, you are allowed to work 20 hours per week during academic sessions and full-time during vacations. If you choose to work along with your studies, your earned income will be taxable.
Remember, the exchange rate variations may also affect your budgeting. We suggest you also look for a part-time job while you are studying in Australia or seek scholarships in the universities you apply to. This can help lower your cost of studying abroad to a great extent.

Thanks to Reagan Global Services who helped me in finding a master’s program that best fits my work profession. Starting from counseling till University admission they guided me in every step.

Being a very enthusiastic person, when I was exploring to study abroad during my final year of Engineering, along with my friends I just walked in for counseling and I was amazed on the details shared during my first visit itself. I decided to follow the process without any further doubts. The team is expert in helping with documentation, visa guidance and mock interview which helped me to crack the final interview.
Karthik has mastered quite a few concepts in math in the past few weeks. I am very impressed with the instructor. I initially had some doubts about the online training thing, but it has turned out to be perfect. The sound is clear and Kartik has been following it thoroughly. I have started recommending to as many as possible……Many Thanks!
