William Angliss Institute

William Angliss Institute is a specialist college in Melbourne, Victoria, with a second campus in Sydney. Its about page says it has taught for over 85 years and is Australia’s largest specialist centre for tourism, events, food and hospitality education. It is one of the options in our guide to studying in Australia from Nepal and our list of colleges and TAFE in Australia.

This profile is for Nepali students considering William Angliss for a certificate, a diploma, a bachelor’s or a master’s. It covers why students choose it, where its campuses are, what it costs, when courses start, work rights, scholarships and a few courses open to international students. The courses open to you, with level, length and campus, are in our William Angliss courses guide. Entry requirements, documents and the application steps are in our William Angliss admissions guide.

Why do Nepali students choose William Angliss Institute?

William Angliss teaches only food, tourism, hospitality, hotel management and events, mainly in Melbourne, so it suits you if you already want that work.

• Practical kitchens. The Certificate III in Commercial Cookery says practical classes are capped at 15 students. The Melbourne campus lists 10 commercial training kitchens and its own training restaurants.
• Courses after +2. Certificates, diplomas and bachelor’s degrees all ask for a school certificate equal to Australian Year 12. So a +2 graduate can look at a course such as the Diploma of Hospitality Management.
• Placements and pathways. The hotel school version of that diploma includes a 6-month placement with industry partners. William Angliss’s pathways page says a diploma or advanced diploma can lead into a bachelor’s with 1 to 1.5 years of credit.
• The city. Melbourne’s campus is in the central business district, near Flagstaff, Southern Cross and Melbourne Central. William Angliss publishes no rent figure, so check costs near the campus before you decide.

If you already hold a bachelor’s degree, it also teaches a Master of International Hospitality Entrepreneurship.

Where are William Angliss Institute’s campuses?

William Angliss has two campuses in Australia, in central Melbourne and in Alexandria in Sydney, and every course page we read lists Melbourne.

The Certificate III in Patisserie lists both campuses, so check the campus on your own course page. We found no partner-run campus teaching William Angliss courses in Australia. Its overseas partners are in China, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, and none is in Nepal.

William Angliss’s CRICOS provider code is 01505M; check it and your course’s code on the CRICOS register before you pay. See its pages on the Melbourne campus and the Sydney campus for facilities and maps. Our guide to the best cities in Australia for Nepali students compares the two cities.

How much does William Angliss Institute cost for international students?

William Angliss publishes a fee for the whole course: 1-year diplomas cost about AUD 18,400 to 19,000, and 3-year bachelor’s degrees about AUD 65,600 to 70,800.

That is roughly Rs 17 lakh for a 1-year diploma, and Rs 59 to 64 lakh for a 3-year bachelor’s. To see what these amounts are worth today, use our AUD to Rs forex converter. Fees are paid each semester, and William Angliss can raise them for later stages of a course, as its tuition fees page explains. Each course page shows its latest published fee.

Some courses cost more. The 1-year Certificate III in Commercial Cookery is AUD 23,000, roughly Rs 21 lakh. The 1.5-year Certificate IV in Kitchen Management is AUD 34,500, roughly Rs 31 lakh.

The 4-year professional practice bachelor’s degrees are AUD 76,700, roughly Rs 69 lakh, and the 2-year master’s degrees are AUD 50,700, roughly Rs 46 lakh. Cookery and patisserie also add uniform, shoes and equipment from about AUD 655 to 680.

To get your CoE you pay at least one semester’s fees plus OSHC for your whole visa. The first payment includes a AUD 750 administration fee, about Rs 68,000, which isn’t refundable. If you package courses, you also pay a deposit of AUD 500, or AUD 3,000 if a degree is in the package.

If your visa is refused on or before the census date, the refund policy returns unused fees less the AUD 750. You need the Home Affairs refusal letter. VET student visa applications from Nepal face tough assessment, so read our page on the Australia visa success rate from Nepal before you pay anything.

Living costs come on top. For the student visa, Home Affairs asks you to show AUD 29,710 for a year of living costs. You also show first-year tuition and AUD 2,000 for travel; the Australia student visa requirements page explains how. See the total cost to study in Australia and the cost of living in Australia for a full budget.

When are William Angliss Institute’s intakes?

Most William Angliss courses start in February and July, and many certificates also start in April and September.

We found no single closing date on the pages we read. The Melbourne academic calendar shows semester and term dates, with orientation a few days before each start. Intakes can close early, so check your course’s page.

The Certificate III in Commercial Cookery starts in February, April, July or September. The Diploma of Hospitality Management and the bachelor’s degrees start in February or July. The Diploma of Travel and Tourism Management lists February only.

Aim to apply 6 to 9 months before your start date, so there is time for the offer, the CoE, OSHC and your visa. You must attend the orientation and enrolment session, so plan to arrive in time for it.

If you track document dates in Bikram Sambat, our Nepali date converter turns B.S. dates into A.D. dates. For the full calendar, read our guide to Australia intakes.

Can you work while studying at William Angliss Institute and after you graduate?

Yes. You can work up to 48 hours a fortnight in session and without a limit in official breaks, and some graduates can then get a 485 visa.

Our guide to working hours for students in Australia explains the fortnight rule, and Home Affairs sets the 485 rules:

• Degree graduates can look at the Post-Higher Education Work stream, usually 2 to 3 years.
• Diploma and trade graduates can look at the Post-Vocational Education Work stream, up to 18 months. The qualification must relate to an occupation on the skilled list, and you need a skills assessment.
• For both streams you must be 35 or under, and the fee starts from AUD 5,750.

No course gives you the visa automatically. Your study must be CRICOS registered and add up to at least 92 weeks. Many William Angliss certificates run 6 to 12 months, so one short course won’t meet that alone.

The pages we read don’t say which courses suit a 485. William Angliss’s skills assessment page says it is authorised by Trades Recognition Australia to assess bakers, cooks, chefs and pastrycooks. That page is about other visa programs, so don’t read it as a 485 promise. Our Australia 485 visa page explains each stream, and PR courses in Australia explains why no course promises PR.

Which scholarships can Nepali students get at William Angliss Institute?

William Angliss has no entrance scholarship for new international students on its list, but continuing international students can apply for awards of up to AUD 3,000.

How the main scholarship works:

• Amount: Up to AUD 3,000, about Rs 2.7 lakh, for skill development, travel, living and study costs.
• Who can get it: International students who have completed one full semester of full-time study and are continuing in any VET or higher education course.
• What you have to do: Apply online and show academic excellence through your results. Don’t count on it when you work out the funds you show for your visa.
• When: Applications usually open in September and October for semester 1, and in April and May for semester 2.

The Memorial Fund Scholarship is also for continuing international students, based on merit and equity, with the same AUD 3,000 listed. Details are on William Angliss’s scholarships page and in the International Merit Scholarship rules. Our guide to scholarships in Australia for Nepali students lists other awards.

What do you need to get into William Angliss Institute from Nepal?

William Angliss has no Nepal page. It asks for a school certificate equal to Year 12, plus IELTS 6.0 with no band under 5.0, or under 5.5 for bachelor’s degrees.

PTE Academic 47 is the equivalent score for both. Master’s degrees ask for a bachelor’s and IELTS 6.5 with no band under 6.0, or PTE 58, on the Master of International Hotel Leadership and its other master’s. To see where your +2 grades stand, convert your NEB GPA to a percentage with our NEB GPA calculator. Then compare with our page on requirements to study in Australia from Nepal.

Most William Angliss courses are VET courses, and VET student visa applications from Nepal face tough assessment. Recent Home Affairs data shows very few VET visas granted to applicants from Nepal; the visa success rate page linked in the cost section above has the data.

A +2 graduate choosing a diploma must explain why it fits their study and career plan under the Genuine Student requirement. William Angliss’s bachelor’s and master’s degrees are not VET courses, but the visa isn’t easy for them either. If your marks are low, read about study in Australia after +2 with a low GPA.

What can you study at William Angliss Institute?

William Angliss teaches certificates, diplomas, an advanced diploma, bachelor’s degrees and master’s degrees in food, tourism, hospitality, hotel management and events.

The cards below are a selection, each read on William Angliss’s own course pages. The Certificate III in Patisserie and the Diploma of Food Science and Technology are other options. William Angliss doesn’t list nursing. If that is your plan, registered nursing needs a bachelor’s, and a Diploma of Nursing leads to enrolled nurse.

For each type of course, see our guides to diploma courses in Australia and hospitality and tourism courses. Our guide to hotel management in Australia for Nepali students covers that field. Our guide to diploma vs bachelor’s in Australia after +2 compares the two routes.

Program Details

Where do William Angliss Institute students live?

William Angliss has no on-campus housing, so students live in homestays, private student buildings or rentals, and it publishes no rent figure of its own.

The institute can help new international students find short-term housing, and it can refer you to private organisations for longer stays. Those organisations may charge a fee, and you pay them directly. Students under 18 can only stay in approved housing, which William Angliss names as Australian Homestay Network or Scape, and it doesn’t accept students under 17.

See William Angliss’s housing page and our guide to student accommodation in Australia, and don’t travel before you have somewhere to stay.

Our counselors in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Chitwan, Itahari and Pokhara can look at your marks and budget with you. Get in touch with a Goreto branch if you want a second opinion on William Angliss.
