After your studies

When it comes time to return home after completing your studies, you may find it useful to join an Australian Alumni network. The Australian Government provides help in your country to contact these networks. Some offices help organise alumni functions and assist Australian institutions to conduct in-country graduation ceremonies for international students who have returned home.

Australian Government offices have also been very active in developing Memoranda of Understanding and qualifications recognition between Australia and other countries. They can also advise you where to find information about employment and further study opportunities in Australia and in your country.

Skilled Migration Program

The Australian Government skilled migration program targets young people who have skills, an education and outstanding abilities that will contribute to the Australian economy. International students with Australian qualifications account for about half the people assessed under the skilled migrant program. For up-to-date information on the program, visit the Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s website.
