One of the best University in Sydney with great faculty.
Tips: The university contributes a lot to my transformation journey. We get to learn a lot every day and meet people of different cultures and backgrounds, which is a wonderful experience. I had a 20% scholarship for my course study. The scholarship depends on your SOP and academic performance in your Bachelors. I am very fortunate to be at this university.
Likes (Internships): The guidance given at my university to apply for internships and jobs is excellent and there is a career hub department at the university where they help you build your resume guide with interview preparation, and they do have a website for jobs and internships. There will be a lot of networking events that help students build connections with industry professionals, which will indeed help in finding jobs and internships.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I am on a student visa and I will get a 3-year post-study work visa after this. During or after this period, we will be able to apply for PR. I haven't explored that option much. It depends on the course and the experience for accumulating points for PR (permanent president). I would like to permanently immigrate to this country.

Embracing Diversity and Innovation at UTS.
Tips: I was born here and transitioned from high school to college. It was overwhelming at the start but eventually I got things working. I didn't face any cultural shift because UTS is a diverse university with people coming from different background and cultures. I didn't get any scholarships before, but there are plenty of them offered to both domestic and international students. It should be applied through the university's website. I would give my satisfaction a 9/10 rating because thanks to my studies and internship experiences, I got a job at NBN. Cost of living in Sydney is horrendous, but the culture is fantastic. I love my course and the things I learned from the university because they are practical.
Likes (Indian Food): Diverse food restaurants are available (Indian, Chinese, Mexican, etc.). Harris Park is basically a little India where you can get everything Indian. The only downside is the price which can get pretty expensive due to high cost of living in Sydney, but the quality is excellent. I mostly cook and eat myself, but I do eat outside at least once a week.
Dislikes (Internships): Finding internships are challenging and very competitive but if you have the right skills and connections, you could get it. If you are unable to get an internship, then UTS will help you find one within the campus. There are plenty of internships available regarding IT, but it's very challenging to get one due to high volume of applicants. So, connection is the key to get an internship.

The university has a practical approach towards academics.
Tips: I got a scholarship through an agent. Students should try going through an agent. Plenty of available courses with good faculty from business to medicine to sciences. The selection process was quite straight forward and they responded with an offer promptly post-checking your academic and previous employment (if any).
