Duration depends on study location and level: bachelor's graduates get 2 years in major cities (4 years in regional areas). Master's graduates get 3 years (up to 5 years regional). PhD graduates get 4-6 years. Regional campuses (outside Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) offer additional visa extensions — making regional study financially and strategically smart.
