INTERNATIONAL
STUDY PATHWAYS

There is more than one way to become an international student at SAE, with English pathways as well as partnerships with vocation partners available.

SAE have agreements with certain English providers to package enrolment for international students who need to complete an English pathway course prior to entry to SAE.

When a student has a packaged enrolment for English courses together with their SAE course, they are only required to apply for the one type of visa, which will cover all courses in the package.

SAE recognise that students who successfully complete an English course (in line with IELTS entry requirements) from one of the providers below will be deemed competent in English and satisfy the English requirement for entry into SAE courses.

SAE has preferred Navitas agreements with:

Navitas English College

Hawthorn English

A full list of English providers can be found here.
