I am interested in enrolling for two years diploma course. Can I pay just for first six months? You certainly can. You can pay just for first six months and enroll for 24 months course. In this case you get a student visa for 6-7 months and after that you pay another 6 months installment and if you prove that you have sufficient funds for studies you might get visas for another 18 months to finish your 2 years diploma course. You may also apply for visa for full length of your 2 years course in the beginning if you have sufficient funds for the first year of studies. Can I apply for combined English and Business course? Of course you can. You can pay for 3 months of English course and also for 6 months of Information Technologies course. This way you get visa for 9 to 10 months and as soon as you finish English course you carry on with IT. My agent says that I have to pay for IELTS preparation course and then I can study IT course otherwise my visa application will be rejected. It is more likely that your agent is mistaken. You do not have to have passed IELTS preparation course if you prove to the school that the level of your English is adequate to meet the course requirements. Shall I pack some warm clothes to Australia as well? Yes I suggest doing so. The summers are very hot but winters are quite cold over here in New South Wales. You need to be prepared for windy and rainy days. Rain coats and jumpers are always handy. Is there anything I can not bring to Australia? Of course there is. You are not allowed to bring fruit, meat products and plants or their seeds. Restrictions for alcohol are maximum of 1.1 litres and for cigarettes maximum of 200 cigarettes per person. Can I use here my mobile phone bought in my home country? The Australian mobile networks work on frequency 1800 MHz and is compatible with many of world mobile networks except for mobile phones from USA. If you have amobile phone bought in USA you will need to buy Australian one here. |
