About the university
Holmesglen Institute is one of the largest government-owned TAFEs in Victoria. It teaches certificates, diplomas and bachelor's degrees across business, IT, hospitality, nursing, building and construction, and more, on campuses in Melbourne's south-east suburbs and the city.
Indian students look at Holmesglen for lower-cost bachelor's degrees in accounting, information systems and hospitality, and for nursing. Fees are shown on each international course page, and course pages do not list intake dates, so check with the International Centre. Holmesglen is a TAFE, so it is not in world university rankings.
