Will you be under the age of 18 when you start studying in Australia?
Here is all the information you need to know.
The Australian Department of Home Affairs requires that students under the age of 18 have appropriate accommodation, support, and welfare arrangements in place before they start their studies at QUT.
We also know that leaving home to study overseas can be both exciting and scary. So we are here to guide you through the process and help you settle into your new life and study in Brisbane.
