Bachelor degree at VU
In Australia, school education lasts longer than 11 years, so it is not possible to enroll in a bachelor's program immediately after school. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference with the help of one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.). The second option is to study for a year at a university in your native country. Before applying, you need to pass the IELTS, PTE or TOEFL exam. The minimum IELTS score is 6. The TOEFL score is not lower than 55. Applicants will need a subject exam — A-Level. The IB diploma is accepted upon admission.

VU campus
The city campus of VU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Melbourne has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. During the period of study, students can use the university library, where they can do homework and write scientific papers.

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. You can find other options for immigration in our article.
