Is it true that Australia does not offer a post-study work permit after a 3.5-year course for a Bachelor's/Master's?
No, that is not true. Australia does offer a post-study work permit after completing a 3.5-year course.
International students can apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), which allows you to live, work, and study in Australia temporarily after graduation. The duration depends on your qualification and, for Indian nationals, special provisions under the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (AI-ECTA) apply:
- Bachelor's degree: 3 years (for Indian nationals under AI-ECTA)
- Master's degree (coursework, extended, or research): 3 years (for Indian nationals under AI-ECTA)
- Doctoral degree: 4 years (for Indian nationals under AI-ECTA)
Visa rules are subject to change.
