I can tell you from experience that you have to be out of the country to apply. They won’t change a tourist visa into a student one. Super inconvenient!
If you have a month remaining on your diploma visa after finishing your diploma, then you can apply for a transition visa for which you wont have to leave the country. Talk to your institution
Unfortunately you have to leave and apply for new visa from your home country. After graduating Diploma I still had one month to renew my visa, but EMGS and my institution didn’t let me renew my visa without leaving the country.
