Australians overseas
As an Australian citizen or permanent resident living, working or holidaying overseas, you can get world-class Australian qualifications regardless of where you live in the world. At OUA, you are a member of our global learning community. OUA is an excellent solution for Australian expats and their partners wanting to up-skill or use their studies to work towards a career change or job promotion. You can work towards a qualification from an Australian university, without having to return to Australia to sit exams or study on-campus.
Studying online removes hurdles of distance and borders from your learning goals. But just because you're studying online, that doesn't mean you're alone. You can build a support network with other OUA students, get live online help with your assignments and contact your tutors by email if you have any questions about your unit requirements.
Fees and FEE-HELP for Australians overseas
Tuition fees for Australians overseas will vary according to the course in which you are enrolled; however, International student fees don't apply to Australian citizens or permanent residents even when you're studying abroad. No matter where in the world you live, as an Australian citizen you won't have to pay any additional surcharges or fees when you study from overseas.
Australian citizens or permanent humanitarian visa holders studying overseas are eligible to access FEE-HELP, the Commonwealth Government's loan scheme for both undergraduate and postgraduate study. It's easy to apply for FEE-HELP online as part of your enrolment, so you don't need to wait for paper forms in the mail.
