Yes, international students in Australia can change their major during their studies, but there are important factors and procedures to consider:

1. University Policies

- Each university in Australia has specific guidelines for changing majors or courses. You usually need to apply through your university’s student portal or academic services.
- Some programs have restricted entry or prerequisite requirements, so you may need to meet certain academic criteria.

2. Student Visa Implications

- Same Level of Study: If you change your major but remain in the same level of qualification (e.g., from Bachelor of Science to Bachelor of Commerce), you generally do not need to apply for a new student visa, but you must inform your education provider.
- Change of Course Level: If you want to change to a lower AQF level (e.g., from a Master’s to a Bachelor’s), you must apply for a new student visa.
- Notify the Department of Home Affairs: Always inform the Department of Home Affairs if your course change affects your visa conditions.

3. Academic Progress

- Ensure that changing majors won’t negatively impact your academic progress or lead to a breach of visa conditions (such as completing your studies within the visa duration).

4. Consult Your University’s International Office

- It’s highly recommended to speak with your university’s international student support services before making any changes. They can guide you on the process and implications.
