Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, there is the opportunity to study face-to-face in socially distanced classrooms or online. For those struggling financially, there is also the option to pay a minimum fee - or in some cases - a $0 deposit in order to secure a place. 

You simply need to pay student visa and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) fees up front before enrolling on the course of your choice.

If you’re planning to study in Australia, make sure to check out our handy guides to each Australian city with information on cheap courses and the student visa application process available.
