Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) - Batch of 2025

3.9

The university is good and there are a lot of part-time opportunities.

Tips: There is a huge cultural difference, so get a part-time job as soon as possible and learn how to speak to locals and their culture. Students coming in might feel disconnected, but don't give up. Everyone feels the same. Just try to adjust and be open to all new things. Join international student communities to make friends. I had a 25% scholarship which helped me a lot. I got it based on my previous grades. I did the first two years of my 2+2 course in India and got the scholarship based on those two years. The course is fine, and the university doesn't matter. The country is awesome. There are some problems, but no place is perfect. This is one of the best in my opinion. The minimum pay itself is very high, and jobs are available.

Likes (Indian Food): There are all types of food from around the world available, but the prices are quite high, especially for students. Eating out every day is not feasible, so I cook for myself, which is more cost-effective. There are tiffin services that provide two meals for 10-15 dollars, so that is another option.

Dislikes (Value for money): In Australia, nobody cares about your college but only your skills and network determine whether you get a job. Even if you do the same course at a college with much lower fees, it won't make any difference. When you apply for a job, there are two steps to getting your resume selected: one is knowing someone in the company, and the next is having the required skills. If you have no network or connections, you'll have to put in the same amount of effort whether you're from Melbourne University or any other college.

Bachelor of Information Technology - Batch of 2023

Offered by Deakin University

Top 1% young university of the world.

Tips: Students will have the chance to connect with some of the brightest minds in the industry, creating an environment that's both inspiring and intellectually stimulating. Being surrounded by such talent allows you to learn from their experiences, gain new perspectives, and exchange ideas that can shape your career. The Geelong campus is situated in a beautiful regional area, offering a relaxed and scenic environment that's ideal for studying and unwinding. If you're looking for a balance between campus life and the city experience, Geelong provides excellent value for money compared to city campuses. While you get to enjoy the lower cost of living and close-knit community atmosphere, Melbourne is just a short commute away, giving you easy access to all the cultural and social perks of city life when you want it. This setup offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful, affordable study environment with a vibrant city scene within reach.

Likes (Public transportation): The Geelong campus is highly accessible, making it an affordable option, especially for students working part-time. With essential facilities and popular spots within a convenient 10-20 minute walking distance, you can easily get around without needing a car. Additionally, the university has a well-managed bus station on campus, providing reliable public transport options to make computing even easier and more budget-friendly. This setup not only helps students save on transportation costs but also offers flexibility for those balancing studies and part-time work.

Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) - Batch of 2025

Offered by Deakin University

Poor course, great university, great country, and networking is preferred over skills.

Tips: My Indian University hired a VISA consultant who did most of the application work and I prepared for my IELTS to transition here, taking the entire process about 5 months. The difference was too much availability of non-vegetarian food such as beef, pork, chicken, fish etc. which you might also have to deal with at part-time jobs and expensive vegetarian food if eating out. Further, the weather here is unpredictable as rain can downpour anytime. Cleaning standards are high here and dust does not fly off in the wind hence white clothes or shoes will not get dirty for days. Teachers and professors or even the elderly are called by their first names without any sir or mam. The culture is also difficult for Indian students as we are used to getting spoon-fed by our teachers while maintaining a standard of attendance, but here you can attend classes at your own pace and you are expected to have gone through the provided online material before attending any class. My scholarship is 25% which was the maximum allowed and is provided by almost all the universities in Australia easily and my course included getting a high credit grade to avail scholarship. Overall, I'm satisfied with my course due to the negligence of core unit selection. However, I'm satisfied with the country and the university that provides several services such as counselling, networking, sports events and other events.

Likes (Safety): The region that I live in Melbourne, Victoria is pretty safe and I can walk with headphones, using my smartphone in the middle of the night, without a care of being robbed, mugged or assaulted but there are always exceptions such as drunkards, hood people and more. To date, I have had no safety issues. To ensure safety, most of the area is covered with surveillance systems, cameras, traffic systems, reliable health care services expensive, or not have good health cover and trustworthy and unbiased people, mostly.

Dislikes (Part time work): The availability of on-campus part-time jobs is scarce and off-campus jobs are average and mostly require prior experience, and references which can be anyone as long as they have an "Australian phone number" and several hours of standing and repetitive work. There is racism when getting a job and recruiters mostly prefer people from their own ethnicity, except Indians who try to exploit you in terms of pay rate as well as other ways. The part-time work is manageable as there is a strict maximum limit of working 48 hours a fortnight, hence, one can easily manage their academics, if capable. The average payout in Australia in Victoria for part-time is 24.1 AUD per hour and for casuals which is another job category, that includes you working, when there is a requirement, you have the control to reject plays 30.25 AUD per hour, which could be unreliable at times.

Deakin University has many opportunities and extensive student union programmes.

Tips: Deakin provides the Vice-Chancellor 100% meritorious scholarship which is a must-try for all those who want to study based on scholarship. Also, Deakin has multicultural aspects of education. So you will feel yourself as warm as in your home. Deakin Talent which is a co-allied organisation within Deakin allows students to have personalised job coaching, internship search and resume training. Deakin Legal Advocacy services are designed to safeguard the rights of students and also to assist with legal concerns. We also have peer mentor services and wonderful study guides. The faculty are extremely accessible and always available to help you out, solve your queries and support you. They conduct lectures, seminars and practicals so that students can get the best angle of understanding and the most surreal view of learning. The activities and interactions done during the teaching period are another great bonus that is a stepping stone towards building work-ready skills.

Likes (Internships): Deakin has numerous opportunities and an extensive student union programme. This allows us as students to exercise our full potential. The campus has all the facilities for students to learn and grow. We also have cultural events as well as sportive activities. We have clubs like the Deakin Debating Society, Deakin Badminton Society, Deakin Teddy Bear Hospital, Deakin Writers Club, Deakin Women's Exclusive, Deakin Social Club and a lot more ventures.

Master of Business (Sport Management) - Batch of 2019

Offered by Deakin University

3.3

Multidimensional, multicultural and engaging.

Tips: Students should be open to new opportunities. Networking is key to gaining success in your field. Scholarships depend on how well you've fared in your undergrad course. I received a 75% scholarship based on the same. I'm quite satisfied with the university, the course as well as the country.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): My chances are quite wide since many organisations in sports are on the lookout for fresh graduates and a pool of talent. Given a chance, I would surely permanently migrate here since Australia has a great sports industry and network of professionals.

Dislikes (Part time work): There were few part-time roles available on campus. The average payout used to be 20 Dollars per hour. Managing part-time work along with academics was easily manageable since the assignments were spread out and had plenty of resources available at libraries and online.
