Placement arrangement
In the first case, if students hold 500 student visa to study GD courses, students are required to attend classes on campus. In this case, internship will be arranged for students in the curriculum of the school.
In the second case, students with 485 graduate visa for GD courses can choose Online or offline courses. If they choose online courses, they may need to arrange internships by themselves to meet the course requirements of the school. The specific situation needs to be clearly negotiated with the school when applying for courses.
