Student visa statistics

The Australian Government operates an overseas student program - OSP that allows people who are not Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents to study in Australia.

Anyone who is not an Australian resident may apply to study in Australia under the OSP.

If you want to study under this program, you must obtain a student visa before you can commence a course of study in Australia.

For more information about study in Australia visit the official Australian government website for international students.
See: Study in Australia website

You can be granted a student visa only if you wish to undertake a registered course or part of a registered course on a full-time basis.

A registered course is an education or training course offered by an Australian education provider who is registered with the Australian Government to offer courses to overseas students.

The Department of Education, Science and Training - DEST can provide details of registered courses.
