Bachelor degree at CSU
11 years of school is not enough to get into CSU. Since students study longer in Australia, you must first eliminate the academic difference — study for a year at a university in your home country, or take one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.). Enrollment in undergraduate programs is based on the results of entrance examinations. The student's GPA is also taken into account. Before applying, you need to pass the IELTS, PTE or TOEFL exam. The minimum TOEFL score is 1. The IELTS score is not lower than 6. A subject exam is required. The university relies on the SAT or A-Level results. Upon admission, an IB diploma is accepted. CSU also provides online undergraduate programs.

What to do after graduation
After graduation, you can stay in Australia for another 1.5 to 4 years, depending on the degree received. To do this, you need to apply for a graduate visa — it allows you to work in the country without changing your visa to a work one. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
