Supporting Your Study and Life

As an international student living and studying in Australia will be different from life in your home country. We’d like to provide you the best support to make it a new and exciting experience. There are support services from us as well as from other organisations to help make adjusting to life in Australia easier.

Kingsway College locates within very close proximity to Melbourne city as well as the scenic Port Phillip bay. Public transport and parking to the College is also convenient and easily accessible. Whilst the College has modern and well-equipped classrooms and a comfortable learning environment, there may also be other services you will find useful during your study and life in Australia.  You can find more detailed information in both the Student Handbook as well as in this section.

You can also visit Study Melbourne for more information and ideas to plan your study and life in Australia.
