Instead of going to an University, you may prefer to learn hands-on skills in shorter duration. In Australia, you can choose from many vocationally colleges who offer short Certificate IV or Diploma programs. In general, these programs are shorter in duration (6-12 months) and much cheaper comparing to a degree program found in the University. Many programs are professional accredited. They may provide a pathway for your future career and life in Australia.
Alternatively, you can choose to study an English course to improve your communication skills. You can fit your part time work around the time table nicely.
