You need a student visa to study in Australia. There are strict rules about how you qualify for a visa, how long you can stay, and what you must do while you are in Australia. The rules are explained briefly in the sections below.

To be certain you understand the rules completely, and for answers to other questions, you can refer to the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship. 

If you are a Victoria University student, and you have questions about visas, you can ask Victoria University.
