Our student stories
What AMET graduates say about working with our counsellors.
Katie at AMET Education is an absolute star. From the day I contacted her to submit my PhD application, she has been nothing but the best. She is friendly, empathetic and professional, and never fails to update you on progress.
MKMaheshika Kalahe PathiranaPhD applicant
Simon and Katie are very helpful and professional in giving advice to my situation. Everything is done in a very timely manner, which really helped ease my anxiety. I got the offer in my dream major and can't wait to start my study.
HJHan JiangStudent
I strongly recommend AMET Katherine. She patiently accompanied me on my university application journey from 2018 to 2022, and when I encountered difficulties she sent detailed emails to universities to help me solve academic problems.
XSXuetong SunStudent
I would recommend AMET to my fellow graduates. AMET is the best agency so far that I found in Melbourne. Katie was very patient and friendly in answering all my questions and providing clarity.

Quick answers to the questions students ask us most. Can't find yours? Ask a counsellor below.
Ask a questionWhat is AMET Education?
AMET Education is an international student recruitment and migration agency founded in 1991 and headquartered in Melbourne. We've helped more than 85,000 students study, live and work in Australia, with 25 offices across Oceania, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas.
What services does AMET offer?
We advise on courses and institutions, prepare and lodge your applications, and support your visa and migration plans. We can also help with scholarships, accommodation, Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), airport pick-up, opening a bank account and document translation.
Is education counselling free?
Yes. Education counselling and course applications through AMET are free. If you need visa or migration services, your counsellor will explain what's involved before you decide to go ahead.
Can students from any country apply through AMET?
Yes. We work with students of all nationalities and study levels, from high school and English language courses to PhDs. Our counsellors speak many languages, and you can meet them in person at an AMET office or online.
What are the entry requirements to study in Australia and New Zealand?
Australia
Most courses look at three things: your English test score (such as IELTS, PTE or TOEFL), your previous academic results, and any course-specific requirements like a portfolio or interview. Degree programs commonly ask for an overall IELTS score of 6.0 to 6.5 or equivalent, but this varies by university and course. For a student visa you'll also need to meet the Genuine Student (GS) requirement.
New Zealand
Universities generally ask for an overall IELTS score of around 6.0 for undergraduate study and 6.5 for postgraduate study, or an equivalent test. You'll need to have completed secondary school for a bachelor's degree, or a relevant bachelor's degree for a master's.
Requirements change regularly, so your counsellor will check the current entry requirements for every course on your list.
What is the Genuine Student (GS) requirement?
In 2024 the Genuine Student requirement replaced the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) test for Australian student visas. You answer questions about your circumstances, your course choice and how it fits your future plans. AMET counsellors help you prepare clear, well-supported answers.
Can studying help me migrate?
Study can lead to post-study work visas and, for some occupations, skilled migration. Studying in regional Australia can open extra options. Migration rules change often, so talk to our visa and migration team or the AMET SIRA team about your situation.
