2.5 Application for student visa (international students)

From 1 July 2001, the Australian Government has grouped countries into assessment levels. These levels have specific visa criteria that must be met in order that students may study in Australia. Further information is available from Monash International or the Australian Department of Immigration, Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (DIMIA). Also available is the Temporary Entry Overseas Students Information booklet, a comprehensive guide for students applying for a student visa to undertake masters or doctoral studies in Australia. (Contact details are provided in chapter 11 of this handbook.)
