A lot of students from nepal went to australia seeking better education and career opportunities. After the pandemic australian government nearly closed the door for students.

Which course to study?
Australian universities offer a wide range of course options you can choose from. You can choose the course based on what you studied at higher secondary or undergraduate level. Courses that fall under science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics(STEM) are highly recognized in every country. STEM courses have better chances of getting a visa not only in Australia but many other countries. Courses like Data science, Cybersecurity, Business Analytics, Software Engineering, Agriculture etc are very famous among students. However, it would be the foolish choice to choose these courses without having any knowledge because it may only cause hindrances in your studies.
You may have a better chance of getting a visa choosing a STEM based course, but visa grant depends on so many factors like academics, financial documentation, interviews etc. Just choosing a STEM based course wouldn’t get you a visa if your academics and documentation is poor. Additionally, It is also not guaranteed that you will receive a visa even if you have strong documentation, academics and have chosen STEM based courses(Visa depends on a lot of factor).
You should always choose the subject that you will enjoy studying the most. It will help you through your educational journey and you will complete the course without any hindrances. It will also open better career opportunities for you.
Why not European countries/ USA, Canada?
Studying in a European country is not easy for Nepalese students. It is very hard to get a job in countries like France, Germany, Italy etc due to the language barrier. Ireland and Denmark visa grants are also getting low. Though England has a better visa grant rate, the cost of studying and living costs can be very hefty for Nepalese students. The USA was always one of the great choices for students but implementation of new strict rules by the government is causing problems for students. Canada visa grant has been pretty low for the past few years now. So, Students with an adequate financial statement should apply to Australia for a student visa.
