Employers, business and industry

Our international students are highly valued contributors to our University as well as to our community. They will bring their experiences, different perspectives and cultural insights to your organisation, as well as the ability to communicate in other languages. There are visas that allow international students to work within semester-time, unlimited hours during semester breaks and after they finish their studies, without the need for sponsorship.

The following student-focused websites provide further information.
