5 Strategies for Parents to Prepare for Their Child’s Study Abroad in Australia

5 STRATEGIES PARENTS MUST KNOW FOR THEIR CHILD’S JOURNEY IN AUSTRALIA

Research the Australian education system for suitable schools

The Australian education system is known for its high quality and diversity of training programs. However, choosing the right school when studying abroad in Australia is a crucial step. Parents should carefully research the educational levels and consider factors such as:

• Study Programs: How is the curriculum different from Vietnam? Is it suitable for your child’s abilities or interests? Does the school have specialized subjects or extracurricular activities that your child is interested in? How much will your child’s study path cost?
• Learning environment: Is the learning environment friendly, open and encouraging of student development? What is the proportion of international students in the school?
• Location: Where is the school located? What is the living condition around the school?
• Expense: Must consider living expenditures, housing prices, and other fees in addition to tuition.

The cost of studying overseas will be significantly higher in major cities like Sydney and Melbourne than in smaller towns like Adelaide and Brisbane. Parents should research more about the cost of living and living conditions in each city to best prepare their children financially and mentally.

Update information on visas and immigration laws

Studying in Australia requires a number of necessary documents and procedures such as a student visa 500, health insurance and admission requirements of each school. In addition, parents can contact at SET EDUCATION to better understand their child’s study paths.

Plan your finances and learn how to manage your spending

The cost of studying in Australia includes tuition fees, living expenses and other additional costs. One of the important skills that your child needs to learn is how to manage expenses when studying in Australia. Some of the expenses include: rent, food, public transport and other personal expenses. Financial planning and learning how to manage expenses effectively will help your child avoid waste and learn how to live frugally.

A typical example is: How parents choose accommodation for their children when studying abroad in Australia. One of the popular and economical options for international students is on-campus dormitories. Many universities in Australia offer dormitories at competitive prices and conveniently located on or near campus. In particular, rental costs often include utilities such as water and electricity, making it easy for children to plan their spending without having to worry about additional costs.

In addition, sharing accommodation with a roommate is also an ideal solution for families who want to minimize costs. Choosing this method not only helps children save on rent, utility bills and daily shopping costs, but also creates opportunities to connect, build friendships and share responsibilities in daily life.

Study Orientation – Smart Investment for Financial Future

Understanding your child’s interests, talents and career orientation is extremely important. This is not only a stepping stone to help your child develop future career, but also a smart investment for your child’s financial future when studying abroad in Australia. Choosing a major that suits the needs of the labor market, especially “hot” majors such as information technology, healthcare or business, which are in high demand in Australia, will increase the opportunity to find a job after graduation with an attractive salary.

Orienting the right major for your child from the beginning is the first step to achieve success and independence in the future. This also helps families save time, optimize their investment in studying abroad, and bring a stable future. On the contrary, choosing an unsuitable major can lead to difficulties in finding a job after graduation, and creating more pressure for your child.

Prepare independent living skills when studying in Australia

Studying in Australia means that your child will have to face many problems in daily life on their own. Mental preparation and independent living skills are extremely important to help your child quickly adapt to the new environment.

In addition, finding a part-time job will help your child earn extra income and gain more work experience in Australia. In short, independent living skills are a solid foundation to help your child manage finances effectively and fully enjoy the study abroad experience.
