    Hi ,

    Since so many students are studying in Australia, I would like to know some info about studying in Aus unis,fees etc...I also heard about that its easier to get Aus PR after graduating from an Australian uni? Is that true? Cuz here in UK eventhough u do a PhD its hard to get PR. :( So I am interested in coming to Aus next year to do a MBA or Doctorate since Im doing a Msc in UK presently. So I appreciate a lot if someone studying in Aus can guide me.


    Cheers

    Hi,

    Whats the title of ya course. Cuz I have been working as a Software Engineer for 3 years as a .Net Developer specializing web application development. I guess this course will be useful for me. Do they teach Java? I have seen many IT postgrad courses last for at least 18 months.So this is good. Comparing to Imperial College UKthis fees is kinda cheap but still expensive ;) Do they have courses starting on Sept? Cuz I will be coming to SL next Aug.

    Cheers

    It's easy to get the PR in here machang. Not like in UK.

    The requirement is that you have to study minimum 2 years full time.

    then they calculate points by you education, IELTS score, job potential and stuff. So if you could get 120 marks + fulfil 2 yrs study requirement then that's it. :D

    If you have a degree then you can do an MSc. and having an MSc doesn't necessarily mean that you can do the PhD.

    To do the PhD, you have to satisfy a board of faculty members. I mean, there's a series of interviews and the price is also bit high machang.

    If you're doing a PhD, then the work limit is maximum 8 - 10 hours per week.

    That's why many international students don't do the PhD in here. first they get the PR. then they can apply for scholarships. If you get through, then you will get 20,000$ per year from the government and some non taxable income, which is really cool.

    Best thing is to do an MBA or a MSc for 2 years and get the PR and then do the PhD. (Apparently which I'm doing now)
