you can apply for a student visa,you will pay international student fees up front which will probably be a lot higher than you would pay in the UK, you must have enough money to support yourself though you can work 20 hours a week while studying and full time during official breaks

I would strongly discourage you from doing that. International student fees in Australia are extremely high and it would be a rather long program. The added value of the program is also only relative if you compare it to programs that may be available in your home country or Great Britain. In addition, you won't even be entitled to obtain concessions in NSW. That means even though you are a student, you will have to pay full price for public transport even though you are paying in loads of money. That will definitely add up as well. Australia is also not a cheap country to begin with and I believe that their schools are completely overrated. That is my personal opinion and maybe Australians will disagree with that. I would rather suggest that you look into doing an exchange semester instead if that's what you really want to do. Also, only very few students actually get to stay in Australia after they completed their studies. They want you there to pay in money. It's big business there, but they don't really offer you much in return. I think there are much better options than Australia.
