In theory, as long as you are over 6 years old, you can study in Australia. Then you can start studying at the elementary level. However, in Vietnam... it's not easy for any parents to accept leaving their children at such a young age, right? If so, when is the right age to study in Australia? Read this article for the answer.
1. The age to study in Australia is quite young: 15 - 18 years old
There are parents who decide to let their children study in Australia from 15 to 18 years old
Depending on the conditions of each family, many of you decide to study in Australia at the age of 15 to 18, from the end of secondary school or the beginning of high school.
This age is a great time for the sun to learn. Therefore, it will be easier for you to absorb the lesson. In addition, it is easy for you to make friends and get used to new environments.
Studying in Australia early will increase your chances of using English. You can completely learn about the style, and intonation of native speakers.
However, to study abroad during this time you need a guardian. If you do not have relatives to act as guardians, you must live in the same home with a guardian appointed by the school.
In addition, the most worrying thing at this stage is the ability to be independent. You need to know how to manage your own time in the most effective way.
2. Maturity stage: 19 - 24 years old
Many Vietnamese students study in Australia from 19 to 24 years old
At this age, your ability to be independent and self-study is quite good, so it is very suitable for you to study in Australia. Instead of studying at a university in Vietnam, you can completely spend this time studying at a university in Australia.
The advantage of studying in Australia for the period of 19-24 years old is that you will save 1 year compared to studying at a university in Vietnam. Because the average time to complete a bachelor's degree in Australia is 3 years.
In addition, if you graduate and plan to settle in this period, you will be added 25 points to the Australian settlement scale - a relatively high score. However, you need to have a clear learning path with a suitable occupation for settlement

3. Should you study abroad in Australia at the age of 25 - 39?
You also have friends to study in Australia from the age of 25 onwards

Your advantage is that you already have a pretty good life experience, and often you will have a clearer plan for your future. This will give you an edge when interviewing for an Australian student visa.
However, the disadvantage is that it will be more difficult for you to integrate into life because you have many issues to take care of. If you can manage your time and relationships well, that's great.
