SAE Creative Media Institute
International students
As an international student completing one of the following qualifications in 2022, you will apply for admission through UAC and will generally be selected on the basis of your performance in these studies (ie your ATAR or equivalent):
- an Australian Year 12 qualification (either outside or in Australia)
- an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma
- a New Zealand National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) Level 3.
SAE Creative Media Institute may take any or all of your qualifications or attempts at study into account.
International applicants applying for admission on the basis of qualifications other than those listed above must apply directly to SAE, not through UAC.
Fees
Tuition fees and other costs will be quoted on your SAE course offer letter. All cost quoted are an estimate only and may be subject to change.
Your stay in Australia
It is a requirement of the Department of Home Affairs that prospective international students can demonstrate they have sufficient funds while living in Australia. Living costs include items such as:
- accommodation (including rental bond)
- electricity and/or gas
- entertainment
- food
- personal and household items
- telephone and internet bills
- transport (bus/train/tram/ferry).
During your stay in Australia, you are permitted to work for up to 48 [SA1] hours per fortnight during teaching periods, and unlimited hours outside teaching periods.
Certain categories of voluntary, unpaid work are included in this total, and work undertaken as part of your course is not included. You should not rely on working to fund your tuition or living expenses while in Australia as work cannot be guaranteed and spending excessive amounts of time working may adversely affect your studies.
SAE offers a range of support services to assist you throughout your studies. The most important thing to remember is to ask for assistance. Our Student Services Team are always more than happy to help.
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is a mandatory requirement of your student visa. OSHC gives you peace of mind knowing your health will be looked after you can easily access medical services while you are in Australia.
The Australian Government requires that you have continuous OSHC for the entire length of your stay in Australia. So when you purchase OSHC, you’ll need to pay your policy premium upfront to cover you for the length of the student visa you’re applying for.
