You cannot enter university in Australia after the 11th grade, as school education here lasts longer. Applicants need to eliminate the academic difference. There are two ways to do this: either study for a year at a university in your home country, or complete one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.). In order to enter a bachelor's program, applicants must successfully pass the entrance exams. Before applying, you need to pass the IELTS, PTE or TOEFL exam. Applicants will need a subject exam — SAT. Additionally, upon admission, an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma can be accepted.
Master's degree at GU
In order to enroll at GU for a master's program, you will have to confirm knowledge of the English language. You can do this by passing the exam — IELTS, PTE or TOEFL. The minimum IELTS score for admission is 7. TOEFL — 92 or higher.

GU campus
The campus of GU is located in Brisbane. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The university students have access to the library. It is an integral part of learning. Students come here for educational literature or to do their homework. Foreigners who come to GU through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
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. Graduates of GU are in demand in the labor market, as the reputation of the educational institution among employers is quite high according to the results of the QS world ranking.
