INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AT BYRON SCHOOL OF ART

DO YOU ACCEPT INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN YOUR COURSES?

We have had many international students study with us, and we really enjoy having them in our classes.

WHAT ARE THE FEES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS?

Fees for international students are the same as Australian students. These can be found on our website.

CAN I GET A STUDENT VISA TO STUDY AT BSA?

As we are an independent school, we do not have a CRICOS code which is required for a student visa. However, previous international students have managed to study with us in various ways. For example, if they have a working visa they would study alongside their work commitments. As the course is only two days per week, most find this manageable and they are in the same situation as their Australian classmates. Or, if they have a student visa to study another registered course, they can enrol in this as well as ours if the workload allows. The BSA study load is quite flexible, so this can be manageable in the right circumstances. For information on studying in Australia visit studyinasutralia.gov.au

HOW DO I APPLY FOR YOUR YEAR-LONG COURSES?

Application from abroad can be done by submitting the application form. When applications are complete we would arrange an online interview by Skype or Zoom.
