Nursing
Nursing is a popular choice for studying in Australia, as it is both migratory and employable. Nursing programmes are mainly divided into university courses (undergraduate/postgraduate) and tertiary courses. Both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes have a high language threshold, requiring IELTS 7 or equivalent for admission. Also, IELTS 7 is one of the registration requirements to become a registered nurse after graduation.
