I am a university student in New Zealand and my partner and I would like to move to Australia
Can I take up study over there the same as I have in NZ, or will I be classed as an international student?
You will be able to have a commonwealth-supported place most likely, which means the same fees as Autralians, but you will have to pay your fees up front as we are not eligible for the loan scheme here.
As far as I can tell fees cost about the same here as in NZ but it does vary between universities so check each ones website and they usually have a fee calculator to help you work them out.
I was wanting to do the same thing, I studied at Vic and only have a year to go. The only way you can keep getting your NZ allowance is if you do an overseas exchange, not transfer your degree, the only problem with that is you can't do third year papers on an exchange only 1st and 2nd so doesn't really work for your last year.
The uni fees in aussie a little bit more than NZ e.g Business Degree is $5000 in new zealand and in australia it is $8000 and you are consided a domestic student. In Australa you dont apply direct to the university you have to apply through a tertiary admissions center e.g qtac for queensland
If the institution is commonwealth-supported, you will not be considered an international student and will pay the same fees as Australians. But no you can't get a loan to pay for it.
I have personally decided to transfer to a distance-learning institution (eg. The Open Polytechnic, Massey University) to continue my studies and still be eligable for New Zealand student loan, and it is possible to still get a student allowance if as a tertiary student, you are:
- enrolled with at a tertiary education provider in New Zealand
- studying a programme that's approved by the Tertiary Education Commission.
