Experts assert that the speculation made in advanced education in Australia can without much of a stretch be recouped through post-study work (PSW), accessible to all understudies once they've graduated.
Consistently, around 300,000 understudies from more than 100 nations over the world are discovered making a beeline for Australia for their studies. Australia is additionally home to five out of the 25 most bearable urban areas over the world. Seeing that Nepalis understudies are concerned, the nation had stood third after the United Kingdom and the United States in the rundown of most looked for after scholarly destinations only a couple of years back. Presently, be that as it may, it has moved to the top spot. The way that Australia brags world-class scholastic establishments, low maintenance and post-study work offices and a moderately safe environment seeing that the understudies' venture is concerned are what have made it the most favored spot for higher learn at present. Records from Nepal's Department of Scholarship at the Ministry of Education demonstrate that of the around 15,000 No Objection Certification Letters have been issued for 64 nations in the most recent eight months of the current monetary year, 8,959 have been for Australia alone.
The quantity of Nepali understudies selecting an Australia n instruction had taken off in the year 2007-2009, however dropped altogether from there on when the Australia n government provided stricter visa regulations for understudies. The reception of the streamlined visa arrangement (SVP) two years prior, notwithstanding, has raised figures yet again.
It was keeping in mind the end goal to guarantee that just real understudies are offered chances to seek after advanced education that the Australia n government had presented the new visa approach for universal understudies on March 24, 2012. Prior to the approach had happen, there were altogether different criteria for the choice of those from created and immature nations. Presently, then again, every global understudy are dealt with alike amid the choice procedure. What the SVP has done is permit the colleges, as opposed to the Australia n High Commission, the privilege to settle on choices in regards to the choice of understudies. Also, understudies with positive scholastic history, summon of the English dialect, competency, and sound monetary support are viewed as perfect understudies for an Australia n instruction.
According to the Australia n Department of Immigration and Citizenship, a ‘genuine’ student is one whose intention it is to obtain a successful educational outcome, who has the educational, linguistic and financial background to support their dreams, and who possesses a reasonable chance of achieving these. Education consultants here generally suggest that students undergo thorough research to ensure that they are the right candidates before they place their applications. It’s a decision that calls for a lot of introspection; one should select the university and course based on one’s career aspirations and scope. They should also evaluate a particular institution’s status, cost and location before making any big moves.
“ Australia is not a cheap place to study,” says Prakash Pandey, the managing director at Mate’s Education, adding that only those who can manage the costs for the entire duration of a degree should think of applying. On average, the yearly tuition feel for the Bachelor’s and Master’s level stands at AU$20,000, while the Australia n government has fixed the figure of AU$18,610 per annum as the living cost for a single student—in addition to the insurance premium. A bank balance of around Rs 3.5 million is also required as proof that one can bear the remaining costs.
Education consultants do say that students can manage their living expenses through part-time jobs that can be taken up for 20 hours a week and full time work during vacations, given that the minimum per hour wage in the country is around AU$16.
A recent ranking by the Times Higher Education shows the University of Melbourne, the Australia n National University, the University of Sydney, the University of Queensland and the University of New South Wales all fall among the top 100 universities in the world. Saroj Kumar Basnet, the chief executive officer at the Netcotec group of companies says that it is extremely encouraging to see how well Australia n universities are rated the world over, as well as the kind of future career prospects that are available in the country. “Study might be the sole motive of students going to Australia , but it helps to know that there are ample job opportunities waiting for them once they graduate as well,” Basnet says.
Consultants claim that the investment made in higher education in Australia can easily be recovered through post-study work (PSW), available to all students once they’ve graduated. One can get two years of PSW after the completion of Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, while it is three and four years for those who’ve done a Master’s in research or a doctorate degree respectively.
In addition to the PSW facility, there also exists a legal safeguard for the students’ investment, which has played a big role in drawing international students to the country. Australia is among a handful of countries in the world that have such a provision in place. The Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act has certain requires it deems mandatory for all Australia n academic institutions, and it is this act that ensures tuition protection services. This means that any university or college that is shut down or discontinues the course a particular student is enrolled in has to either reimburse the fees or arrange for the student to study in another university or college.
As per the act, all academic institutions that are eligible for enrolling foreign students are listed on the publicly available Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). Even the marketing materials these academic institutions employ are monitored to ensure that the information they provide to students is accurate and not misleading.
“ Australia possesses the right kind of cosmopolitan atmosphere that students can really benefit from,” says Khem Raj Sang-raula, the managing director at Expert Educa-tion and Visa Services. “No wonder, too...it is a country of immigrants, after all.”
