Choose your institution

The Victorian education system is part of the Australian Qualifications Framework which means qualifications from Victoria are recognised around Australia and around the world. This means you can move from one level of study to the next, as long as you satisfy student visa requirements.

Institutions in Victoria can only enrol students from overseas if they meet national standards that govern the protection of international students. The national standards cover education delivery, facilities and student support services.

If the institution meets the standards they are listed publically on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). Check your institution of choice has a CRICOS registration number.
