🎓 Success Stories: Real Students, Real Dreams

Hania’s Story – Mirpur ➡️ Sydney: Hania, a bright student from Mirpur (Azad Kashmir), visited Galaxy Abroad’s Islamabad (F-7) office with her dream of becoming an engineer. The Galaxy team helped her shortlist universities and identify Australia’s best engineering programs. They guided Hania through writing her application essays and coached her for the visa interview. Thanks to this support, Hania was accepted to the University of Sydney (one of THE’s top choices) and obtained a generous scholarship. Today, Hania is thriving in Sydney – she loves the friendly campus, makes new friends from every continent, and even enjoys her weekend trips to the Australian beaches. “Galaxy Abroad made my dream come true!” she says with a smile, “I never thought someone in Murree Road Rawalpindi could end up at Sydney Uni – but here I am!”.

Ali’s Story – Gulshan (Karachi) ➡️ Brisbane: Ali grew up in Karachi’s Gulshan neighborhood and dreamed of working in tech. After graduation, he booked a free counseling session at Galaxy’s Karachi center. The counselors suggested the University of Queensland (UQ) for its strong computer science faculty and sunny campus life. Galaxy guided Ali to register for the Duolingo English Test instead of IELTS (saving him time and stress), and helped him apply for a post-study work visa. Within months, Ali had his admission letter and student visa. He’s now living in Brisbane, studying at UQ, and working part-time on campus. He even joined the Pakistani students’ society – he says the community makes him feel at home “5000 km from Gulshan!” 🌟

📈 2025 Trends & Tips: Scholarships, Visas & More

Post-Study Work Rights: Good news – international graduates can stay and work after studying. Although a recent change means the 2-year visa extension (for skill-shortage fields) ended mid-2024education.gov.au, you still qualify for the standard Post-Study Work visa (Subclass 485). Depending on your degree level, this lets you work full-time in Australia for 2–4 years, gaining invaluable experience before returning home or applying for permanent residency

Scholarships & Financial Aid: Don’t let finances hold you back. Many Australian universities offer scholarships to talented students from Pakistan. The Australian Government’s website notes there are “many scholarships, grants and bursaries” available to assist yo. Notably, the Australia Awards Scholarships (fully funded Master’s/PhD awards) will re-open Feb–Apr 2025 for study starting in 2026 Galaxy will help you find and apply for these. University scholarships (merit, need-based or alumni awards) are also common; Galaxy knows which programs often have reserved seats for Pakistani students.

English Test Alternatives: Worried about IELTS? Relax – Australia accepts many English tests. Approved tests include TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, OET and the Cambridge C1 Advancau. More universities now accept the Duolingo English Test tool. (For example, Monash, ANU, Griffith and others explicitly allow Duolingo scores.) Your Galaxy counselor will guide you to the easiest test option for your situation. #NoIELTSNeeded 👍
