Why Do You Want To Pursue an MBA?
Be prepared, when applying for an MBA, to answer this very pertinent question. A well-thought out response MUST be given as your admission to an MBA program may depend on it. In other words, ponder this question so that when this question arises you will be ready! Admissions committees also want to know where you see yourself, MBA in-hand, in five years, ten years. Reflect on these things. These questions will not only effect your admissions but will also give you the opportunity to decide if the MBA program is right for you. Your future is at stake!
What is the Right MBA Course For Me?
To complete the requirements for enrolment you need to pay the minimum tuition fees (and health insurance fees) which are listed in your Letter of Offer. You will need to obtain a bank draft in Australian dollars and give it to EEC who will forward the Draft and your final enrolment papers to the institution.
Prerequisites for MBA Study in Australia
•Previous academic qualifications (normally a Bachelor’s degree from a recognized college/university).
•Professional experience in the business realm.
•Motivation and a desire to learn.
•Proficiency in the English language.
If you do not have a Bachelor’s degree, certain Australian schools will allow you entry into an MBA program if you have at least five years of management work experience. Also, the GMAT may not be a necessary requirement but if you took it and fared well, it can count favorably on your application.
When deciding to pursue an MBA, consider your professional AND personal goals so as to gauge your degree of motivation. An MBA is an expensive course of study as well as time-consuming. Though subject to change, costs range from Aus$9000 to Aus$ 33,000 per year of study.
Access to Employment
A student visa allows international students in Australia to work a maximum of 20 hours per week during a given semester and full-time during vacation periods. It is important to note that a student should not expect to support himself/herself while working in Australia. He or she must have ample funds to support his/her studies/living expenses already.
Student Application Procedure
•Fill out EEC application
•Submit documents as outlined on by the EEC office
•Submit Processing fee
•Submit a Pre-Visa Assessment (PVA) application to the Immigration section of the Australian High Commission. Upon receipt of the PVA approval letter, forward said letter to EEC’s Admissions department.
•EEC then does the legwork. Getting you an admission to a top school in Australia or your EEC processing fee is refunded in its entirety.
If you are granted an admission to one of our member colleges/universities, EEC will forward the PVA approval letter to the college/university in question.
Cost of Living
The cost of living in Australia varies according to the city or town in which a student pursues higher education. A single student in Australia can expect to spend between Aus$9,000 and Aus$12,000 per year on necessities such as rent, food, basic clothing, public transportation, and books. Cost of living depends on the economy so, be aware, these quotes are subject to change and is also relative to the standard of living a student is accustomed to.
Students pursuing higher education in Australia have the option to live on-campus or take apartments or other accommodations off-campus.
Potential international students can pursue higher education in Australia by applying through EEC. Applying on your own entails a risk of uncertainty as to whether or not you will get admissions.

All international students on study in Australia are required to have medical insurance. The overseas Student Health Cover charge is to be paid before a student visa can be issued.
Visa Procedure
EEC does not leave its students stranded post-admissions. We offer our support and guidance in the process of obtaining a student visa for study-abroad purposes.
•Collect Form 157 W from the Australian embassy/ Australian High Commission in your area.
•Submit the completed form with the visa application fee to the Australian embassy/Australian High Commission [application fee: US$200 subject to change].
•Once you have the PVA approval letter in hand, you are then able to rest a little easier. However, your quest for a visa is not over.
•You must then undergo a routine medical exam. You may get the forms from your local Australian embassy or the Australian High Commission. The doctor performing said exam will then forward his/her medical report directly to the Australian High Commission upon your request.
•Once you have completed the visa application along with the required fee and the routine medical examination, you must (if you haven’t already) obtain a passport. The aforementioned items must then be forwarded to the Australian High Commission/Australian embassy.
•Regardless of how things work out, your passport will be returned to you. Of course, having it accompanied by an Australian visa makes every effort worthwhile!
