For a number of years our office has been conducting information seminars for international students at many university campuses. From the experience of talking to thousands of potential applicants we have learnt, and are aware of what the major issues of concern are to students.

To assist students we have developed a monthly newsletter which is directly distributed to students around NSW. You will not find this type of information on the DIMIA web site. The first edition deals with one of the most popular discussion of topics: Points for English ability and the use of Discretionary Power under the Migration Regulations.
Below is a list of our newsletters, we hope you find them helpful.
