Can you pay your own tuition fees when working while studying?

paulp · January 2017

Hi guys, I've been thinking about studying sa Australia, I'm a new lawyer here in the Philippines kaso sobrang stressful na talaga ng work. Ask ko lang, sa mga nag Masters, I'm planning to take up a masters program in Sydney, kaso iniisip ko if kaya bang macover ng 20 hr part time work + around 20 hours cash in hand ang expenses ko at tuition for the next semester. may nakagawa na po ba nito? Thank You and God Bless.

@paulp Hi, depende yun kung magkano yung tuition fee mo.

As with the expenses, you need to allot for your weekly rent, food, transportation and other misc expenses. I think if you'll be taking up Masters degree, you're allowed to work full time so most likely you'll be able to cover for your tuition fee.

Sabi ng mga kakilala ko na students don, yung tuition fee kaya naman ipunin kasi may sumasagot naman sa accom at food nila. Pero pag as in lahat ng expenses dun mo kukunin, medyo mahihirapan ka.

@Cassey masters by research lng ang pwedr fullyime.. pero ang dependent mo can work unlimited hours even kahit na coursework ka lng

@johjayne28 Ahh i see, by categories din pala yun,

SV - Masters Degree = you are not allowed to work full-time but your spouse can work for full-time to sustain your financial needs.

if not Masters Degree, both of you are not allowed to work full-time. makakamura ka lang ng tuition as per consultants if not university.

in addition, for 2yrs or more than 2yrs of study, after the course, you have the rights to work for 2 yrs in AU. be lucky to get a sponsor or let's say, dapat yung course mo nasa SOL or CSOL for skilled migration - 190, 189 visa if im not mistaken.
