Visas and Study in Australia

Students at Albury College may hold different visa types depending on their individual circumstances. While many international students study on a Student Visa (Subclass 500), other visa holders who have permission to study in Australia may also enrol.

Visa requirements and conditions vary, and it is the responsibility of each student to ensure they hold a valid visa that permits study in Australia for the duration of their enrolment.
