Balancing studies with part-time work is a great way to gain experience, meet new people, and support your living expenses. Both Australia and Georgia offer opportunities for international students to work part-time while pursuing their education.
Australia
International students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight (during academic sessions) on a Subclass 500 Student Visa. Popular roles include retail, hospitality, and administrative positions. Part-time jobs often pay well, helping students cover a significant portion of their expenses.
Georgia
While part-time work options are more limited, opportunities exist in tutoring, freelance roles, or working with local businesses. Many students also explore remote work options, such as online freelancing, to supplement their income.
INTERNSHIPS
Many universities in Australia and Georgia have partnerships with companies and organizations, offering students internship opportunities in their fields of study. These internships are an excellent way to gain hands-on experience, build industry connections, and apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings.
WORK PERMITS
In Australia, international students with a Subclass 500 Student Visa can work part-time during studies and full-time during vacations, with options to apply for post-study work visas like the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) after graduation. In Georgia, while work permits are less common, students can explore internships or freelance opportunities through specific arrangements with employers or universities.
Cultural Differences & Adjustments
Studying abroad means embracing new cultures, traditions, and ways of life. Both Australia and Georgia offer enriching cultural experiences, but adjusting to these differences can be a learning curve for international students.
In Australia, the culture is laid-back and diverse, with a strong emphasis on equality, personal freedom, and outdoor lifestyles. It’s common to address people by their first names, and social interactions are casual. Adjusting to this openness and learning local slang can help you feel at home.
In Georgia, the culture is deeply rooted in hospitality and traditions. Locals are warm and welcoming, often inviting students to participate in family meals and festivals. However, adapting to customs like formal greetings and traditional dining etiquette may take time.
To ease the transition, take an open-minded approach, ask questions, and engage with locals. Embracing these differences will enrich your experience and help you feel connected to your new environment.
