No. A Student Visa is granted ONLY for study purposes. If a student completes earlier the University will notify the Department of Immigration about early completion. It is likely that a student visa is cancelled upon receipt of this report. It is advisable to approach the Department of Immigration to apply for another type of visa if you intend to travel.
