A challenging but transformative experience.

Tips: Before joining students should know that the academic environment is a bit challenging but rewarding as well. The university offers so many opportunities beyond academics like clubs, committees, leadership roles, industry networking and getting involved really helps you settled in and grow. I got an internship after landing a business and economics scholarship which recognised my academic background and leadership background as well. I'm satisfied with my course and I love Melbourne. The city is really beautiful and you get so many volunteering opportunities every single day.

Bachelor of Science in Data Science - Batch of 2025

Academically challenging but good.

Tips: There is a bit of a cultural shift when you come from India but you will adjust within a few weeks/ months. Getting a scholarship as an international Bachelor student is quite tough and I wasn't able to get any. I am satisfied with my university but I do feel like it is quite expensive for what it offers and I am not sure how much return I am going to get out of it.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is quite accessible and is very well connected. It is however not very affordable as you have to pay 10 dollars (600 INR) even if you have to travel two stops ahead. But it is very well connected to the city and suburbs and you don't really need a car if living in the city.

Dislikes (Value for money): It is quite a lot and I believe the ROI is not much. The salaries you get compared to what an international student pays don't justify it. But again, it is one of the best universities in the world so you pay for the quality and the experience it offers.

My university is academically oriented and has amazing faculty.

Tips: Coming to University of Melbourne has brought a lot of changes in my personality and the way I perceive things. I have become so much compassionate, humble, kind and friendly. The university gives you an opportunity to meet people from all around the world who have different faith systems and that teaches you to become respectful and patient. Being here has also made me realise the importance of teamwork and professionalism. I have learned how to express myself more confidently and speak up to address any issues in a way that is mature and polite. This cultural transition has made me independent and self-aware. I received the Business and Economics Scholarship from my university. This was an auto-granted scholarship that was based on my academic performance. The scholarship covers 50% of my tuition fees. I am highly satisfied with my university, course and Australia. I wouldn't want it any other way. My university is academically oriented and has amazing faculty. They are some of the best people in their field. Australia is a beautiful country. The people are kind, non racists, warm and welcoming. I found it very easy to adapt to the culture here because it is so open, relaxed and diverse. For my course, it is slightly a little theoretical, but it provides valuable insights. I like most of my subjects that genuinely interest me. Subjects like consumer and consumption, branding, project management, managerial decision analytics and branding really fascinate me. I also love how the assignments allow you to apply concepts in real case studies.

Master of Social Policy - Batch of 2026

Supportive college environment.

Tips: Do not come here expecting to land a part-time working gig as soon as you arrive. Things like that don't happen easily and take a lot of time. You eventually handle yourself after finding some initial difficulty adjusting to the cultural and ethnic changes in the city. Overall, Melbourne is one of the most accommodating places I've ever been to.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Students can have the time of their lives here. There's literally everything here that a student can ask for. With over two hundred clubs and societies, UniMelb forms one of the biggest student communities in the country, students are given the freedom to explore themselves.

Dislikes (Student Life): The faculty has complete knowledge about their subject, and even beyond that, they're the perfect mix of teacher and mentor. They also know how to maintain their boundaries from students and aren't very over-friendly or in your face with regards to your personal life.

The university is quite expensive.

Tips: Do not expect to land a part-time role as soon as you arrive. It can take a lot of time. The education culture of Australia is experience-based, so it'll involve a lot of group discussions and class participation. Hence, it is essential to do the required readings before class in order to make the most of your learning experience.

Likes (Indian Food): There is a variety of options for Indian as well as any other country's food, so you won't get that feeling of homesickness. Since I've come here, I've had the best of experiences trying out different cuisines like Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Argentinean, and whatnot.

Dislikes (Value for money): I feel like the course is expensively priced, and it costs more than double what it does to a domestic student. Although I'm sure the courses provide value for money, I still feel they're at a price that might not be comfortable for everyone to bear.

Finding part-time work can be challenging if you live in the city.

Tips: My transition was rather very personal and socially based. Things get very overwhelming when you leave the shadow of your parents and manage everything alone. Making friends was really difficult for me, and my studies consequently got affected. But over time, you realise that you won't get loyal friendships here. One of the funniest culture shocks was the Unisex Washrooms. Rest, people aren't conservative here, but I suggest you be safe from junkies, since they attack a lot. I couldn't get any scholarship from Unimelb despite getting 92.5% in 12th grade - CBSE. But from other students I know as of July 2023, you can get a grant of 10,000 AUD. Personally, UniMelb is too strict and stressful with studies. There aren't a lot of options if you're seeking courses like fashion studies. I'd suggest Monash for business-oriented subjects. The classes aren't interactive or individual-focused focused especially if you have an Asian tutor.

Likes (Public transportation): If you reside in the city, trams are super convenient, and student accommodation is well-located near the university. Myki cards with a concession cost $5 and are affordable, but many students don't use them often. There are also free tram zones that don't require a Myki card at all! If you need to travel from the suburbs, trains and buses are also super convenient, costing AUD 10 per trip.

Dislikes (Part time work): It is fairly difficult to secure on-campus jobs. Finding part-time work can be challenging if you live in the city. I've been searching for a job myself for the past year, although I did have a part-time job for three months during my first semester. Managing part-time work alongside academics is not difficult at all.
