How to Change Your Course in Australia?

Studying in Australia is an excellent experience if you have chosen the correct course and university as per your needs. However, some students make the wrong decision and later find ways to reverse time. But instead, HS Consultants Education & Migration recommends you change your degree program, which is possible in Australia. Read on to find out the essentials.

Reasons for changing your course of study in Australia

After achieving your goal to Study in Australia,you might wish to change your degree program for any of these reasons.

• You are disappointed with your current course.
• Your current degree program is very challenging for you.

If you wish only to change your Australian university, it is also possible, plus our Visa Consultant for Australia can help you select the best university for your education path. However, we recommend career counseling with our expert Australia Student Visa Consultant in India before switching. Doing so will give you these benefits.

• You will know the career path related to your new course.
• You will have clarity about whether your new degree is right for you.
• You can obtain in-depth information about your new course. Our expert can also compare it with your current course for further clarity.
• You will know the perfect course for you.
• You will know the best university as per your needs.
• Most importantly, you will be set on the right path to a bright future in Australia.

Things to remember

Because of the latest changes in student visa legislation, switching course is now even more difficult. As per the guidelines, whether you can change your course or not depends on three things.

• The course itself that you are studying.
• The duration for which you have learned this course so far.
• Your current visa.

You can either change your course in the same institute or enroll in a different course and university altogether. If you’re unsure what to do, please don’t hesitate to contact HS Consultants Education & Migration.

Your primary course

Your primary course is the head course you have taken admission in for studying. In simple words, it is the highest AQF level course your Australian visa was approved. If you have enrolled yourself in a course bundle, it is the highest degree level for which your student visa was granted.

For example, if you are learning Certificate III and IV in Commercial Cookery and Diploma of Hospitality, your primary course is the Diploma of Hospitality.

Leaving your primary course

To exit from your primary course, you must keep these things in mind.

• To take admission in a new course, you must first need a release from your present educational institute.
• You cannot obtain a new CoE if you don’t have leave permission from your current educational organization.
• You can appeal to external authorities like State/Territory Ombudsman, Overseas Student Ombudsman, etc.
• If you have studied for under six months and your provider won’t let you leave, you cannot enroll in a new course.

However, there are two cases here.

You completed six months: If you have studied for at least six months, changing your course will be easier, as there are higher chances that your educational institute will give you a letter of release. So overall, the procedure becomes simpler if you study for at least six months.

You didn’t complete six months: Unfortunately,it is complicated to change course if youhaven’t studied for the initial six months. Now you must contact your institute to get a letter of release, which you can only get after an offer letter from another university.  

Is a new student visa required?

Please note that you can only switch to a course in the same or higher educational level as your present primary degree, meaning that you cannot change from a bachelor’s degree to a vocational one. Additionally, if you wish to change your course, you will require two things.

• A letter of release from your institution.
• You must apply for anew Australian Student Visa. Please contact our Australia Student Visa Consultant in Moga for more details.
