Popular courses in Australia?
Overseas, Australia has emerged as a prominent study-abroad location. However, the nation shut down its borders and limited student immigration during the outbreak. In the aftermath of the pandemic, the Australian government began a new era of interaction with India in all facets, which began with the ratification of the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) between both nations. Focusing on the education trade, ECTA will make it possible for STEM graduates to prolong their post-study job privileges. The ECTA will assist in facilitating the acknowledgement of qualifications, licenses, and registration processess among professional services bodies which will be advantageous for the students in light of the recent declaration by the national leaders of both countries that an education task force would be established.
For students coming into Australia from January 19 to March 19, 2022, the Australian government also waived visa fees. The Covid-19 travel limitations made it impossible for Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) Visa holders to enter Australia; however, they were still allowed to apply for a replacement visa. It was possible to apply for the exact length of time that the initial rules suggested for both current and past visa holders. The Australian government has also suggested extending the residence period for those on Temporary Graduate Visas from two to three years and graduates of VET (Vocational Education and Training) fields from one to two years.
Most crucially, the government has committed to boosting the number of part-time jobs available to students, enabling them to pay for their school and obtain valuable experience for their resumes. It is currently developing a plan to enhance part-time employment from 20 to 40 hours a week. Indian students made up the largest percentage of international students in 2022, based on the Australian Trade and Investment Commission. Since the lifting of the borders in Nov of last year, approximately 25,000 Indian students had arrived on Australian soil to commence or resume their studies as of March 2022.
Universities in Australia provide in-demand degrees for a wide range of professions. Australia has announced the launch of a combined degree program with India, allowing students to pursue one or two-year degrees in both nations. A Master’s in Public Health is one of the programs that has grown significantly in popularity among Indian students in the wake of the global epidemic and will continue to do so in the years to come. The epidemic bolstered the importance of the study of epidemiology. Programs that stress project-based and practical learning in new technologies like cyber security, artificial intelligence, and data analytics will continue to draw students.
The most popular courses for pupils, particularly at the UG level, this year were Computer Science and Software Engineering, proving that STEM degrees are destined to thrive. The need for skilled personnel in engineering, IT, and, science is also growing in Australia. Additionally, the period of stay for bachelor’s degree holders with first-class honors after completing studies in the fields of engineering, science, technology, or mathematics, including information and communications technology (ICT), has been increased from two to three years.
Subjects like psychology continue to be remarkably popular among Indian students since Australia as a nation places a lot of emphasis on mental well-being and establishing infrastructure to assist persons with mental health challenges.
Australia has a strong research environment that places a focus on resolving problems that affect ordinary people. Australia makes up 2.7% of the world’s overall research output when it comes to science. In the same way, the nation offers a wealth of options for study in the social sciences and the arts.
Intending to reduce their financial load, Australia offers numerous scholarships to international students. For Indian students, it just launched the “Maitri Scholars Program.” Under the scheme, it will give more than USD 11 million in assistance over four years period to students pursuing degrees from its universities. Additionally, foreign students can finance their studies using a variety of loans and scholarships that are available. Students receive financial aid from a variety of sources, including the government, businesses, institutions, and some private enterprises.
The Australia Awards Scholarships (AAS) for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral studies, the International Postgraduate Research Scholarship Award, the Australia-India Strategic Research Fund the Indo-Australia S&T Visiting Fellowship Program, the Endeavour Postgraduate Scholarship Award, and, the Australia International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (IPRS) are some well-known scholarships.

Best thing about Vivek Gupta Sir is his selfless counselling. As I am already a BSC/ MSC, he suggested me to go to Philippines as I was able to get straight admission into MD and this finishes my entire course in 4 years flat. In any other country, it would have taken by 5.5-6 years. Ms Kanimojhi in Chennai office of GKWorks was equally supportive in coordination regarding documents, departure and all other formalities.
We live 100 Km’s away from Varanasi. The internet connection in our town is very weak and my parents are not that educated. For us, understanding the word RTGS was also very difficult. Thanks to Amit Pandey Sir, who is Gkworks Varanasi incharge, he helped us to do all small things. Going with us to get forex to helping us doing RTGS for fee payment, he was always there with us. He only helped us to apply for passport online and went with us to passport office Varanasi. Such support at ground level was provided by GKworks team both in Varanasi and Delhi.
My parents were not very comfortable to send me abroad especially my mother as I am the only son of my parents. I really wanted to become a doctor and thus approached Hemant Mishra Sir, director of Bareilly branch of GKWorks. He went out of his way to convince my mother. He would have come 5 times to my home, invited us to his office and home 10 times before my mother was finally convinced. It is only due to Hemant Sir in Bareilly that I am pursuing my course today. I wish GKworks and especially Bareilly branch all the very best to help many more students for their life dreams.
