General FAQ

  • Can I extend my student visa in Australia?

    Yes, if you meet the requirements. While students are currently enrolled in full-time study, they may renew their student visa in Australia as long as their current student visa is not subject to Condition 8534 'no further stay'. It is recommended that steps are taken to renew a student visa approximately one month before the existing student visa expires.
    Please refer to the student visa renewal website for further information on obtaining a new electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE).

  • Can I get a job in Sydney?

    Your student visa allows you to work 40 hours in a fortnight. Many of our students find a job in restaurants, hotels, customer service, cleaning and maintenance fields. It’s worth looking at the following job search websites www.seek.com.au, www.careerone.com.au
    Professional work is much harder to get because your student visa only allows you to work 40 hours a fortnight.

    At Bridge we allow students to change providers at any time particularly if a student finds an alternative course at another College that is more suitable to their career aspirations. However students should be aware that the Government regulation does allow for providers to keep students enrolled in their college and prevent other education providers from enrolling students seeking to transfer from another provider before completing 6 calendar months of their principal course of study.

  • Can I work while studying?

    Yes, but you must have work rights issued by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) and meet guidelines including not working more than 40 hours per fortnight. Also, your part-time job must not stop you from finishing your course within the expected duration.

  • Do I need to do an IELTS or TOEFL exam ?
