The faculty is talented, understanding and helps us to perform academically good.

Tips: There is a huge cultural shift and academic difference. Students must take the advice of professors and learning advisors, and put in an adequate amount of time for assignments and exams to get through otherwise it is very difficult to score good marks. Scholarships depend on the country you are applying from and which course you are applying to. Check out the scholarship details on the UQ scholarships page to get advice on scholarships for specific courses. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the courses because it provides me the opportunity to learn about different things and avail practical opportunities to learn rather than learning by written memorization.

Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) - Batch of 2024

The college is beautiful and the learning process helps you grow professionally.

Tips: It is a multicultural environment so students are required to be pretty extroverted if they want to make contacts and be social. Scholarships are not granted easily as the cut-off goes to around 98-99 percentile unless you are transferring through an international programme from an Indian college.

Likes (Quality of faculty): They are very open to questions and help you with any doubts. Teaching methods are mostly practical and plagiarism free. It's easy to learn if you attend all the lectures and stay focused on your task instead of focusing on part time jobs. I would say the teaching faculty is pretty diverse in terms of nationality.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Very few companies offer sponsorship for post-study visas. Job roles are not offered frequently and the base salary in my field is around 80k-90k AUD. It's very hard to get into companies as you will have to apply for 400-500 of them and still, it's luck-based because there are rounds for interviews, especially behaviour interviews.

Journey of a lower middle class Indian student to Australia.

Tips: Australian universities are very diverse. They barely have any cultural shock here. The good thing is that the faculty members/ professionals have a good work-life balance as compared to other countries. I got a fully funded scholarship for my PhD programme. Most students get funded scholarships as it is one of the top universities in Australia.

Likes (Internships): I am in Ph.D. programme. The best thing about the Ph.D programme in Australia is that you can extend your PhD programme simultaneously. You can get guidance from senior colleagues in your department. My Ph.D. is in energy field which is a booming sector across the world, and you can get an internship easily via this course as compared to other fields.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many restaurants in Brisbane which serve Indian food, but they can't beat Indian restaurants. You can afford to go for a dine-out at least once a week. For non-veg food options, you can buy whole cooked chicken at reasonable pricing. I prefer cooking myself as most of my recipes don't take much time.

Overall good student experience and good quality of life.

Tips: For new students, UQ offers lots of interesting events to feel involved in; my advice will be to attend those and make connections. Of course, there will be cultural shifts in society which you can observe after coming here and adapting to those will be beneficial. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with my University life, and my sustainable energy course also enjoying by going to lots of travel places in Queensland.

Likes (Safety): UQ has its own safe zone app for the security of the UQ community. Brisbane is quite welcoming for new students and filled with lovely people but not to say, everyone should be aware of their own safety as in rare cases there can be some incidents, especially at night.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Australian Immigration policy changes every time and it's a little hard to get a permanent settlement as long as you are not on the priority list. Given a chance, I would like to spend some time in Australia not necessarily looking for the parmanent immigration.
