Australia is a popular destination for students from all over the world to study. It is home to many top universities, with a total of 42 tertiary education facilities. The "Australian Top Eight" is highly respected and recognized. There are many advantages to choosing to study in Australia.

Other ways to study in Australian universities
1. Studying in an Australian high school:
The secondary school system in Australia is the same as Hong Kong’s six-year system. Therefore, Hong Kong students have another option, that is, secondary four students can choose to go to Australia to enter Year 11, and take the public examination in Year 12 to be admitted to an Australian university.
2. Studying basic classes: If students have completed Form 5 in Hong Kong, they can choose to apply for a one-year university basic class in Australia. After completion, they do not need to take public exams. As long as the internal exams meet the requirements, they can directly enter Australian universities. .
3. Study Certificate or Diploma courses: Applicants can also choose to apply for Australian universities to study Certificate or Diploma courses. This is a good entry route.
Advantages of Hong Kong students applying for Australian universities
The pathways for Hong Kong people to apply for permanent residence (PR) set up in Australia, Skilled Independent visas (subclass 189) and Skilled Regional visas (subclass 191), both provide a new classification for Hong Kong people - "Hong Kong stream".
After a student has studied a 2-year degree course or above in Australia (including bachelor courses, Top-Up degree courses, master courses, etc.), he can apply for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) within 6 months of graduating.
Hong Kong people holding a 485 Graduate visa can apply for a Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) permanent residence visa after living anywhere in Australia for 4 years. If they live outside Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane for 3 years, they can apply for a Skilled Regional visa (subclass 191) permanent residence visa.

Alison’s Story
Born in Hong Kong an moved to Australia, I have been associated with real estate all my life. As the plane slowly landed on the runway of Melbourne Airport, my life and career also changed to another runway. I changed from a Hong Kong real estate agent to an Australian real estate agent, and successfully obtained the Australian lawyer qualification.
When I was working in a law firm, I was surrounded by highly educated professionals. Even though their wages are very well, and they are absolutely the elites in society, but their lives are full of hard labor, and it’s hard for them to get rich through buying properties.
So I spend all my time and effort on learning financial and real estate investment knowledge, hoping to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible, and let my parents who have worked hard for many years live a good life.
Now I will share with you the knowledge and experience of investing in Australian real estate, and embark on the road to financial freedom together.
