Deakin University does not provide many opportunities for students for jobs.

Tips: The transition was smooth, as everyone here was very friendly and helpful. I experienced a very little cultural shift but in a very positive way. I got a 25% scholarship, which was a huge help. The university is huge and has lots of facilities, and the course is very interesting. There is a direct tram and bus service from the university to various parts of Melbourne. The teaching is very interesting, and the instructors discuss real-life scenarios instead of just teaching from a book. The teaching faculty is also diverse in terms of nationality. The city of Melbourne is very welcoming, and I would highly recommend this university to any international student. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience at Deakin University.

Dislikes (Part time work): The university does not provide many opportunities for students to work part-time. However, there are many part-time job opportunities available in Melbourne. Part-time work is manageable because students cannot work more than 48 hours per fortnight due to visa restrictions. The average hourly pay rate is between 25 and 31 aud.

A supportive and growth oriented experience.

Tips: I had a challenging time adjusting to my freedom and the diverse cultures at Deakin. However, the inclusive environment at Deakin helped me adjust. I received a 25% Deakin International Scholarship based on academic merit, which helped offset the cost of tuition. The faculty is very helpful and many on-campus events are happening so try as much to participate in them and build connections. The course is aligned with my goals, and the supportive environment at Deakin and in Australia is good. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience at Deakin.

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.

Disha

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.

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.
