1. General Information
- Universities: Australia has 42 universities, including 39 public and 3 private institutions, located mainly in major cities across the country. Many Australian universities operate campuses both in Australia and overseas, or collaborate with local and international universities. Most universities accept credit transfers for students progressing into bachelor’s or master’s programs. In addition to universities, there are colleges and education institutes licensed to deliver bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees.
- Education Purpose: The mission of Australia’s higher education sector is to preserve knowledge, educate and train students, conduct research, create new knowledge, and provide expertise to government and industry partners. Depending on the field of study, programs may be more research-focused or practice-oriented. Most universities are multi-disciplinary (offering over 400 fields of study) and primarily deliver bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD programs. Some universities also offer vocational diplomas, and a small number offer high school programs. All universities have their own English language centres to provide academic English preparation and study support for international students. Many universities also offer foundation programs for students progressing into bachelor’s degrees.
- Ranking: 9 out of 42 Australian universities are ranked among the Top 100 universities worldwide. 8 universities belong to the prestigious Group of Eight (Go8) – Australia’s leading research-intensive universities. All remaining universities are ranked within the top 2–4% of universities globally.

- Accommodation & Living Costs: Students may stay in homestay, on-campus accommodation, or shared housing. The Australian Department of Home Affairs estimates living costs at AUD 29,710 per year, while actual expenses typically range AUD 15,000 – 23,000 per year, depending on lifestyle.

2. Important notes for Vietnamese students studying at Australian universities
● Bachelor’s Level: Exceptional students may enter the first year of a bachelor’s degree directly. However, most Vietnamese students are required to complete a foundation program or diploma pathway before progressing to university, as the Vietnamese high school diploma is not yet fully recognised in Australia.
Vietnamese students typically have the following study pathways:
- Direct entry (if eligible)
- Foundation + Bachelor’s degree
- Diploma + Bachelor’s degree
- Foundation + Diploma + Bachelor’s degree
Please check with us for personalized advice on the most suitable pathway for your academic background.
If you start from a foundation program and are under 18, you must stay in:
- A school-approved homestay,
- On-campus accommodation, or
- With an approved relative.
You must also have an approved guardian until you turn 18. Please see more information for under-18 students here.
● Master’s Level: Australian universities classify Vietnamese universities into three categories:
- Section 1: Equivalent to Australian universities
- Section 2: Equivalent to Australian advanced diplomas
- Section 3: Equivalent to Australian diplomas
Please refer to Australia’s NOOSR classification here and Europe’s NARIC classification here.
Generally, only graduates from Section 1 universities in Vietnam are eligible for direct entry into Australian master’s programs. However, some Australian universities have recently begun accepting graduates from Section 2 institutions into selected master’s programs.
You should check with us for an evaluation of your specific case.
- PhD Level: Vietnamese students applying for PhD programs are strongly advised to complete a Master’s by Research, which significantly increases the likelihood of receiving an offer for a PhD position.
- Credit Transfer Opportunities: Students currently studying at a Vietnamese university or who have completed a college-level qualification in Vietnam may transfer to an Australian university. The institution will assess your transcript to determine how many credits can be transferred and how many additional subjects you need to complete to earn a bachelor’s degree.
- Processing Time: Application processing typically takes 2 – 4 – 8 weeks, and visa processing also takes 2 – 4 – 8 weeks, depending on the case. Therefore, students should submit their applications to Duc Anh EduConnect 3–4 months before their intended intake.
- Australian Student Visa: The visa approval rate for Duc Anh EduConnect students is 98%. Please see detailed information about the Australian student visa here.
