International Students

It is important to also attend the International Enrolment & Welcome Festival, specifically designed to assist international students in the first days and weeks in Australia. The International Welcome Festival is an important component of University Orientation program as it provides a range of important information sessions for new international students on topics such as student visas, health insurance, and finding accommodation.
