Getting Started Before enrolling at Franklin International College, it is essential for students to participate in a Pre-Enrolment Consultation. This consultation can be conducted with one of our approved Education Agents or designated FIC staff members. 

During the Pre-Enrolment Consultation, prospective students will have the opportunity to engage in one or more sessions to gather additional information and time to make an informed decision. These consultations can take various forms, including face-to-face meetings, video conferences, telephone calls, or email exchanges.

 Full Letter of Offer 

You will receive an email from the college with instructions on how to accept your unconditional offer. Offers are accepted through by sending us a signed copy of the LOO and processing your tuition fees along with the additional costs. 

You must then pay your fees, which includes the semester tuition fee and send us a copy of your overseas students health cover (OSHC). The type of health cover you need will depend on your visa type. If you wish to get your OSHC from the college, please contact our admissions team.

The CoE contains essential information, including details about you, the program you will be studying, estimated costs, and the duration of your studies.  You will need your CoE to lodge a student visa application if you plan to study in Australia.
