Specialises in Australian study-abroad applications, TAFE pathways, undergraduate-to-master’s programmes, work-and-study arrangements, skilled migration, and more.

Lower-cost Australian universities —while many students pay close attention to a university’s overall ranking and the subject ranking of their chosen field,affordable study-abroad options are far more popular.For those who have their sights firmly set on migration,study is simply a stepping stone— the ultimate goal is obtaining permanent residency in Australia.Australian employers value employees’ work experience and capability— not the graduating institution — which is a key difference from the domestic market. So keeping study costs as low as possible and securing residency as quickly as possible is the priority;

Recognised qualifications —while the university may not rank in the top 100,it is absolutely accredited both domestically and internationally,which matters if you plan to return to China in the future —an overseas qualification and work experience will add real value to your career;

Migration-friendly —in the many study-abroad consultations we have conducted recently, 90% of students have considered migrating to Australia in the future. Ofthose, more than 80% have a very clear goal of obtaining permanent residency, so students choosingtheir field of study prioritise ‘migration-friendly’ factors— they prefer programmes with multiple migration pathways, lower points requirements, and multiple states offering state nomination. High-employment-prospect fields in Australia are also very popular, since after obtaining residency, settling and living in Australia long-term is the plan.

Campus located on the Gold Coast,which, while classified as a ‘regional area’ under migration definitions,is a vibrant tourism city that is well-developed in terms of lifestyle and amenities, just 45 minutes’ drive from Brisbane, Australia’s third-largest city;

Migration pathway:

Victoria recently announced the opening of state nomination applications for the new financial year, with policies significantly more relaxed compared to last financial year,all occupations on the Department of Home Affairs occupation list will be eligible to apply,STEMM Skills are no longer required and working in a target sector is sufficient to apply. Furthermore,Victoria has clearly identified priority fields, including early childhood, secondary, and special education teachers.

It is likely that those with work in Victoria related to their nominated occupation stand a higher chance of receiving in-state invitations. According to federal government data, early childhood education is the third-most in-demand occupation in Australia over the next five years, with shortages across all regions — finding employment after graduation is not difficult.For Subclass 491 applications, onshore applicants are required to reside and hold employment related to their nominated occupation in regional Victoria. Students studying in Victoria can therefore look for work related to their field after graduating in Victoria and submit a Victoria state nomination application.

Annual tuition of approximately 130,000 RMB;

Multiple campuses available, including major cities Sydney and Melbourne, as well as regional Adelaide;

ACS-accredited — qualifications are recognised upon graduation and skills assessment can be completed quickly.

Migration pathway:

Last financial year, South Australia was one of the most popular destinations for study-and-migrate pathways,because South Australia’s state nomination has a graduate stream — those who study and complete their degree in South Australia may be exempt from high English score requirements or partial work experience requirements,and the points competition is not as fierce as in New South Wales or Victoria. Many students deliberately chose to study in South Australia specifically to meet the graduate stream requirements for South Australian state nomination.

While South Australia’s state nomination for this financial year has not yet opened,South Australia’s state nomination policy has consistently been more favourable to local graduates,and the South Australian state nomination policy is expected to be announced within the next few days — keep a close eye out; we will also be following developments closely for you.
