Bachelor Programs in Australia for International Students

For international students, a standard Bachelor’s degree in Australia typically costs between AUD $20,000 and AUD $50,000 per year in tuition.

Not automatically, but a bachelor's degree combined with the 485 work visa, a skills assessment, and points-tested skilled migration or employer sponsorship can build a realistic pathway toward PR.

Bachelor's graduates currently receive 2 years under the Post-Higher Education Work stream, with regional graduates potentially eligible for an additional 1–2 years through a second 485 visa.

You will generally need completed Year 12 or equivalent, meeting each university's minimum Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) -equivalent score, plus IELTS 6.0 or equivalent PTE around 50–58 depending on the course.

Most universities offer two main intakes, February/March and July, with some also running a smaller November intake. February being the largest and most competitive for new international students.
