FAQ

Common Questions about Studying in Australia

What IELTS score do I need for Australia?

Most Australian universities require IELTS 6.0–6.5 overall, with no band below 5.5 or 6.0. Some postgraduate programs require 6.5–7.0. Oxford International's IELTS coaching has helped hundreds of students achieve their target score.

How much money do I need in my bank account?

Australian immigration requires proof of funds — the current Home Affairs financial capacity amount for living costs, plus tuition and travel. Our visa team helps you prepare the financial documents correctly.

Can I work while studying in Australia?

Yes. Student Visa 500 allows work up to 48 hours per fortnight while your course is in session, and unlimited hours during scheduled course breaks.

What is the Genuine Student (GS) requirement?

The Genuine Student (GS) requirement asks you to show that you are a genuine student, explain your study choice, and provide supporting evidence about your circumstances. Our team helps prepare clear GS responses and supporting documents.
