Tips: Before joining this college, students should be aware of the fees, courses, accommodation, lifestyle, expectations, culture, and processes for enrolling and changing courses. It is also very helpful to know about the financial support, services, and international student support that are available. Knowing what to do first will help students adjust to the college and their new surroundings.

Likes (Value for money): Students should keep their resume up to date and be open to different opportunities. Help and support are available, but students should not compromise their studies. Balanced part-time jobs can make it even more feasible.

Dislikes (Internships): It might be tricky as it's too busy to keep up with studies and daily life as an international student but it's the hard work pays off and the growth at different levels is tremendous. My experience has been pretty rewarding so far though challenging at times.

Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Dalyell Scholars) - Batch of 2025

2.6

You should know what you want to achieve before joining the University of Sydney.

Tips: Before joining students should know what they want to achieve from their course, otherwise, they would feel very lost. A cultural shift would usually be felt in classes with group work. Scholarships I got were mostly project based, like research in 3-4th year. The course quality itself is debatable but highly dependent on individuals. Lectures are useful if you attend the tutorials/lab to consolidate them. I clean towards research than regular coursework in my final years, so I enjoy the honours year more.

Likes (Internships): The guidance for off-campus internships are very high-level and mostly focused on the application process. However, since internships are a compulsory module for engineering students, this forced me to apply for internships during my undergraduate years, which turned out to be a beneficial experience. On-campus internships are research-oriented, but there are relatively sufficient opportunities for everyone.

Dislikes (Value for money): The course quality at the University of Sydney varies a lot, and I think the overall quality is average. Also, the tuition fee increases every year, which is probably due to inflation. However, it's still very difficult for international students to support themselves with the full-time course requirements without some kind of extra income.

Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Software Engineering) - Batch of 2025

3.1

The university has strong and interactive curriculum. The faculty are very talented.

Tips: Before coming to Sydney University, I recommend that you research the course you have selected to determine its long-term value. Also, find out which courses you will need to take throughout your degree. There is a cultural shift in the Australian way of living. People don't like being referred to as Sir or Madam. Overall, studying is stressful, but I am satisfied with my course and the country I am living in.

Likes (Public transportation): Sydney transport is very convenient as the lines are generally connected to most of the major stops as well as the frequency of the transport coming in every 5-10 minutes. The weak part of the system is the bus which generally takes 30-60 minutes to wait.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Usually, large companies sponsor visas like Google or Microsoft. As well as well-known companies in the local area. They generally offer work visa to accelerate settlement in Australia. Job roles for my degree is Graduate/Intern software engineer in the early career.
