Frequently Asked

Common questions about studying in Melbourne

Everything you need to know about admissions, scholarships, visa, and life in Australia.

What IELTS/PTE scores do I need for Melbourne?

Most programs ask for IELTS 6.5 overall with at least 6.0 in each band. Some competitive streams require 7.0. PTE is accepted with equivalent scores. We provide target scores for each course during counseling.

When should I apply for intake?

Melbourne has main intakes in February and July. Apply 8-10 months in advance to allow time for admissions, scholarship review, and visa processing.

How much does it cost to live in Melbourne?

Monthly living costs are usually around AUD 1,500-2,000 for rent, food, transport, and utilities. With scholarships and part-time work, many students manage a comfortable lifestyle.

Can I work while studying?

Yes. International students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during term and full-time during university breaks. At approximately AUD 31/hour (2026), this provides meaningful income to support living expenses and gain valuable work experience.

What is the Genuine Student Requirement?

The Genuine Student requirement (introduced in 2024, replacing the previous GTE requirement) assesses whether you are genuinely intending to study. It examines your academic background, course choice, career goals, financial situation, and personal circumstances. A strong, personalized statement showing your genuine intent is critical for visa approval.
