New international student caps in Australia

🇦🇺 Interested in studying in Australia? Changes may be on the horizon! Starting in 2025, Australia is considering a cap on the number of new international student enrollments, limiting them to 270,000 across universities and vocational education providers. This does not affect English language courses, high schools, or exchange programs. The objective is to ensure high education quality, improve the student experience, and manage sustainable growth.

👉 Note: This is still a proposal, currently under debate in the Senate. A final decision is expected by mid-October 2024. Here’s what you need to know and how to prepare.
