Australia has announced that it will cease new enrolments for international students in the Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning) course, identified by code BSB80120. This decision takes effect from October 5, 2026, meaning that overseas students will no longer be able to enroll in this program after that date.
Government Addresses Visa Refusals Linked to Course
The Australian government has announced a decision regarding a specific course that has been associated with high rates of visa refusals and student non-completion. This action is intended to safeguard the quality and integrity of the country’s international education and student visa systems.
Australia will stop new international student enrolments in the Graduate Diploma of Management Learning course from October 2026.
The decision was announced on September 4 by Julian Hill, Australia’s Assistant Minister for International Education.
The Australian Department of Education said this is the first time the government has used its new powers to cancel or suspend the registration of a specific course for international students. There is significant evidence that the course was being used by some non-genuine students to facilitate transfers while they were already in Australia, according to the Australian government.
