Study in Australia from Nepal
Australia is Nepal's #1 study destination — G8 research universities, 2–4 year post-study work rights, and a clear pathway to permanent residency.
Officially partnered with 45+ institutions across Australia
From globally ranked universities to a welcoming multicultural society, Australia offers an unmatched study experience — and real career opportunities post-graduation.
Australia's Group of Eight universities are among the world's best — University of Melbourne (#13 QS), ANU, and Monash consistently rank in global top 100. Your degree carries real international weight.
The Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa gives Bachelor's graduates 2 years, Master's graduates 3 years, and PhD holders 4 years of unrestricted work rights in Australia after graduation.
Australia has transparent points-based PR pathways (189/190/491 visas). Skilled occupations from IT to nursing earn direct points — making PR a realistic goal, not just a dream.
Over 120,000 Nepalis live in Australia — especially in Melbourne and Sydney. You'll find familiar food, temples, cultural festivals, and an established support network from day one.
Student Visa (Subclass 500) holders can work 48 hours per fortnight during study and unlimited hours during semester breaks — helping offset your living costs significantly.

"I was overwhelmed trying to figure out Australia on my own — which university, which course, even where to start with the visa. EVEC handled everything: shortlisting the right unis for my profile, writing my SOP, preparing my GTE statement, and following up until my visa was granted. I'm now studying IT at Deakin University in Melbourne and loving every moment. I owe this to the EVEC team."
