International students studying on a student visa can study in multiple education sectors while in Australia. This data visualisation maps the pathways as students move between education sectors, allowing examination of where students go after studying in the Schools, ELICOS and non-award sectors, and where they come from when starting their journey in the Higher Education and VET sectors.

Considerations for interpreting this data
- International students can study in multiple education sectors while in Australia on a student visa. While it is not possible to list every combination of courses studied, this pathways data aims to capture milestones in a student's study path.
- For higher education and VET, the pathways data captures the first ever time the student has commenced study in the education sector, and the sector studied immediately before commencement of the higher education and VET course.
- For School, ELICOS and non-award courses, the pathways data captures the first time the student has studied in any of these sectors, and the immediate education sector studied after completion that is different.
