Is it possible to put Australia as my second country option for studying abroad for a Master's?
Yes, you can consider Australia as your second study-abroad destination. With your strong academic background and work experience, you are well-qualified for master's programs in Australia.
To study in Australia, you will need a Student visa (subclass 500), which requires:
- Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from a CRICOS-registered institution
- Proof of English proficiency
- Evidence of sufficient funds
- Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
- Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) statement
As of January 2026, India is classified under Evidence Level 3 for Australian student visas, meaning stricter documentation is required. Ensure your documents are complete and accurate to avoid delays or refusals.

Yes, you can add Australia as a second option for your study abroad plans.
With your strong academic background in Architecture and 12 years of work experience, you are well-qualified for master's programs in Australia. Your scheduled IELTS exam in September 2026 should be valid for the September 2027 intake, as most universities accept scores from within the previous two years (subject to change).
You can begin shortlisting universities and preparing your documents while you await your IELTS results.
