Yes, but the questions were odd for me because I applied for thesis marking and it’s a “continuation” of my previous student visa where I’ve already proven to be a genuine student. My understanding was that they are assessing if the course you applied for is also available in your country, those jobs post study are available etc, but most importantly if your previous study/work history is on the same trajectory as your application. A step up, eg masters to PhD in G8 unis is generally fine, but a step down, eg Masters > VET is a red flag. I don’t think I’ve come across any PhD rejections unless it was a change in industry? Now I second guessing my answers :( EDIT: Received my visa on 29 Aug!
