Yes, it is possible to change your Master’s course after you arrive in Australia, but there are important rules and procedures you must follow. As an international student, your study visa is granted based on the specific course and institution listed in your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). Here’s what you need to know:

Key Points:

1. Time Restrictions:
You must complete at least 6 months of your principal course (usually your main degree, e.g., Master’s) before you are eligible to change courses or transfer to another institution, unless there are compelling circumstances and you have written permission from your current provider.

2. Provider Release:
If you want to change your course or education provider before completing 6 months, you will usually need a formal release from your current institution. Without this, your visa may be at risk.

3. New Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE):
You must obtain a new CoE for your new course. This may also require you to update your student visa details with the Department of Home Affairs.

4. Visa Implications:
Some course changes may require you to apply for a new visa, especially if you are changing level of study (e.g., from Master’s to a lower qualification).

5. Notifying Authorities:
You must notify your current institution and follow the official process as per their student transfer policy.

6. Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) Requirement:
The new course must still satisfy the GTE requirement for your visa, ensuring you are a genuine student.
