Studying in Victoria

Why study in Victoria?

There’s a wide range of reasons to study in Victoria. This Australian state is one of the most lively and vibrant places to live, study and work. Home to 6.27 million people and a culturally diverse environment — it’s truly a city that doesn’t sleep. 

Victoria’s capital city, Melbourne, was rated the third best student city after London and Tokyo. This is based on the prestigious reputations of its universities, the quality of living and the mix of students, along with employment opportunities and affordability.

The Victorian landscape offers the best of two vastly different worlds. Within Melbourne, you’ll find the metro hustle of a big city, with endless places to explore (both well-known and under-the-radar). On top of that, Melbourne boasts a breathtaking city skyline. 

Outside of Victoria’s capital, you’ll find some of the most scenic views in the world — the Great Ocean Road, the Twelve Apostles, and beautiful vineyards offering world-renowned wine. When you’re not studying, you’ll have plenty to do.

Whether you’re looking for courses in Melbourne, a smaller town like Geelong, or just looking for courses online in Victoria, you can be sure you’ll have an incomparable experience when you enrol to study in this Australian state.

FAQ

How do I work out what course to study?

The best way to figure out which course to study is to work backwards from your goal.

 

Does your dream job require a specific course? Will you need a certain skill set to win that upcoming promotion? What theory do you need in order to take your hobby to the next level? If you think about where you want to be in the long-term, you’ll be able to map out the skills and knowledge you need to get there. 

 

Once you’ve planned the key areas you’d like to develop through study, you can use Training.com.au’s Course Comparison tool to view courses side-by-side to closely evaluate which one will fit your needs.

How much does TAFE cost in Victoria?

There’s no set cost of TAFE in Victoria. Fees vary depending on the course you want to study and the institute you choose to enrol with. There are also a range of government schemes to help subsidise your course costs (if you’re eligible). 

 

Generally, your TAFE course costs will be calculated by the number of hours you’ll be enrolled in study.

How many free courses can I do in Victoria?

If you’re looking to enrol in a free TAFE course in Victoria and you meet the eligibility criteria, you can choose one course from the government’s list of priority courses. Whether you complete the course or not, you’ll only be able to enrol in that one course for free. After that, you won’t be eligible to study free courses anywhere in Australia.
