Frequently asked questions

Does admission guarantee the visa?

No. Admission and immigration are separate decisions; funds, intent, documents and all current authority rules still apply.

Can I work while studying?

Student employment is controlled by residence conditions.

Does study guarantee post-study work or settlement?

No. Eligible graduates may use the current job-search or employment route after study.
