A Year 12 or Year 13 leaver in Fiji can study in Australia as a self-funded student on a student visa (subclass 500).4 The other routes are an Australia Awards scholarship to study in Australia, a TSLS scholarship for study in Fiji, or a self-funded place in Fiji. Studyaway found no announced date for the 2026 Year 13 results when this guide was checked.
What can I do after high school in Fiji?
Can I study in Australia after Year 12 or Year 13 without a scholarship?
Yes, as a self-funded student on a student visa (subclass 500).
On the Studyaway course pages, 16 of the 24 courses ask for “Year 12 or equivalent”, age 18 and an English score.5 The college checks the school certificate and the English score against its own entry requirements.
The Department of Home Affairs sets these rules for the student visa4
- The application is made online, from outside Australia.
- The student needs a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from the college and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
- A student with a Fiji passport can include a partner and children in an application made outside Australia.
• A lower visa cost applies to eligible Pacific Island citizens.
• The visa allows work of up to 48 hours a fortnight (every 2 weeks) while the course is in session.4
Work out the funds to show for your course before you apply.
Work out your amountCan I get a scholarship to study in Australia?
Yes, through Australia Awards Fiji. An Australia Awards Scholarship pays for full-time study in Australia, in priority fields the governments of Australia and Fiji agree for each intake.3
• A Year 13 Certificate Examination aggregate of at least 320 out of 400 (English and the three best subjects). A student still in Year 13 can apply with a Year 12 aggregate of at least 320, and the scholarship then depends on 320 in Year 13.
• Age 18 or over by 1 January 2027.
• Living in Fiji when applying.
• A programme of study that is not available in Fiji.3
Applications for the 2027 intake are closed. Australia Awards Fiji has not yet published the dates or the conditions for the 2028 intake.3
Does TSLS pay for study in Australia?
No, not for a first degree or diploma. TSLS funds programmes in Fiji. For degree study, the TSLS handbook lists six institutions: Corpus Christi, Fiji National University (FNU), Fulton, Sangam, the University of the South Pacific (USP) and the University of Fiji. Its skills scheme lists more colleges.2 Its one scheme for study in Australia is the Cost Sharing Overseas PhD Scheme.2
How do I choose a course in Australia?
Choose the career first, then the course that leads to it. Each Studyaway course page says whether the job has a pathway to permanent residency (PR).
Career Match asks 14 questions and names one or two careers, the course for each, and its course guide.

• Students logged in with the examination code number and personal details.
• Students with no internet got the results from the school or the District Education Office.1
