@dnalost : well there are some MBA programs which qualify for two years (either via dual degree or internship or otherwise..). But yes, if you do a shorter course which doesn't qualify for subclass 485, one is required to go back to their country - ofcourse, that won't be the case if you can find an employer sponsorship via subclass 457 but that is getting tougher by the minute. Hope this helps..

I accepted my offer two weeks ago, and now in the process of finding accommodation in Melbourne.

I suggest we start a whatsapp group with all the confirmed students to support each other if needed.

You can PM your phone numbers, and I can start the group.

What does everyone think?
