New Course Alert: Graduate Diploma of Portfolio Management in Australia for International Students
If you’re interested in establishing a career in property development, real estate, or even moving from the tools to a more strategic, white-collar position in construction, Australia just opened a new door for you.
We are thrilled to announce a new course option that’s now open to international students in Australia: the Graduate Diploma of Portfolio Management. This course isn’t only providing world-class education, it can also be a stepping stone to long-term residence or permanent residency in Australia.
Let’s explore what makes this course a game-changer.
What is the Graduate Diploma of Portfolio Management?
The Graduate Diploma of Portfolio Management has been created for students who wish to take their career to the next level within the property and development industry. It’s an extensive, practical course that has you covered from site acquisition and investment structuring right through to property market dynamics and management of development.
Whether you’re transitioning from real estate, construction, or a trades background, this program gives you the business and strategic knowledge to move into leadership, project management, or even entrepreneurial careers in the field.
Why This Course is a Big Deal for International Students
This is where it gets most interesting. Up to recently, international students who finish a Graduate Diploma—or a combination of Graduate Diplomas—that takes at least two academic years are eligible to apply for the 485 Graduate Visa. That is significant.
Why the 485 Graduate Visa Is Important:
- Remain in Australia up to 18–24 months upon graduation
- Obtain full-time work entitlements
- Acquire industry experience that can contribute towards permanent residence pathways
- Get a taste of the Australian job market and way of life
So, if you’re planning to remain in Australia long-term or forever, this course is now an effective means of making that possible.
