Australians - Study in Europe

 
 

 
 

This website is dedicated to making it easier for Australians to embark on postgraduate study in Europe.

As well as providing a host of links to relevant websites in Europe and Australia ASiE also undertakes research and consultation with the EU Commission, European governments and a great number of universities and foundations. The aim is to produce and update as much as possible all information concerning grants and scholarships available to Australian students seeking to pursue doctoral studies in Europe.

 
 

Working and Restrictions

You are permitted to work on a student visa but it is a somewhat complicated process. Three points make it less than straightforward: the first is that the work permit cannot be issued unless you have a residence permit; second, the work permit must be applied for by your employer, not by you; third, you must choose whether to work throughout the year at no more than 10 hours per week or whether to work during the holidays, June, July and August under no hours restriction.
