The Australia for Study Advantage
Australia for Study can offer students the opportunity of studying for and completing courses on-line. This offers enormous advantages to the student, in terms of financial savings as well as accumulating credits towards their further course of study at University.
To be more specific, consider the example of a student in a country outside Australia. This student wishes to undertake a degree course of study in Australia. The student could apply for admission to University in Australia, travel to and live in Australia, study for the degree and receive the qualification. This is the usual scenario.
On-Line Courses
Students are eligible to enrol through Australia for Study to do an on-line Diploma in Business Administration.
Students can complete the on-line course at their own pace, still living in their home country, with no additional ‘living away from home’ expenses.
If a student chooses to enrol in an on-line Diploma course, upon competition of their course, they will be eligible for 12 months credit towards their Australian degree when they come to study in Australia.
Students are also guaranteed to receive a conditional offer of admission from CQUniversity into a related degree courses on successful completion of the on-line Diploma, along with 12 months credit towards the degree. This offer of admission will be conditional upon the student having a minimum IELTS score of 6.0, being able to pay the required fees for the degree and being able to get the required visa to come to Australia to study.
Students are given a maximum period of 12 months to complete their on-line course, but they have the opportunity to complete the course in a much shorter time by setting their own pace for course competition, provided that this does not exceed 12 months.
