Master of Data Science (2 year) - Batch of 2023

4.1

A great student experience with strong academics and career challenges

Tips: Moving from India to Australia was a big transition, but Brisbane made it relatively easy to settled in. People are generally friendly, and uq has a welcoming and multicultural environment. Academically, the Master of Data Science is challenging and requires consistent effort, particularly in programming, statistics and independent learning. One thing I would advise future students is not to depend entirely on the university for internships or employment. Start building your technical skills, projects and professional network early. Living expenses and tuition feels are also important factors to consider before coming here. Overall, I'm happy with my experience at UQ. The university provided a strong academic foundation, and studying in Australia helped me grow both professionally and personally .

Likes (Student Life): Student life at UQ was one of the best parts of my university experience. The St Lucia campus is beautiful, with excellent libraries, sports facilities, and plenty of space to study or relax with friends. There are numerous student clubs, cultural events, career workshops and social activities throughout the year. I particularly enjoyed meeting people from different countries and experiencing such a diverse environment. The university offers a great balance between academics and social life.

Dislikes (Internships): It is difficult for international students to find internships in domains such as Data Science and IT. Even though UQ offers its students career services and workshops where one gets the opportunity to network with prospective employers, finding an internship mostly relies on you personally. Some internships can prove to be quite competitive while others may even need residency or citizenship.

UQ - great university and faculty but dont expect jobs to be handed to you

Tips: It's a great university with great facilities, but universities in general abroad don't help much with placements for full-time or part-time jobs. That is up to students. But they provide resources. Would suggest to first decide you going to settle or to study, and then whatever is reason choose the right university or course relevant. For example, if you want to get PR, study a course that helps you get PR. Do research and also talk to alumni.

Likes (Public transportation): It is very good and economical. UQ is well connected. Buses and boats are available. It is quite affordable and has good service. UQ is well connected by buses and boats. It's a good system in Brisbane. Easy and convenient. Loved it. I enjoyed public transport.

Dislikes (Part time work): UQ doesn't help in getting part-time work, but the city does have part-time work opportunities. On-campus part-time jobs are limited and competitive. You can get outside the campus. It is possible to manage studies with part-time work, but I suggest getting used to studying first, as it's a new style of study. I would say don't work in the first semester. Average payout depends on what you work in. But some people can earn well by overworking, but then compromise on studies or enjoying university life, or doing important internships. Would suggest working as many hours as allowed, but don't overdo.

Very safe and secure campus.

Tips: Before coming they should know how to manage time, case opportunities and ask for help when needed, as the first few months would be really stressful. The excess number of facilities can be overwhelming; however previous research on facilities, cost, transportation and accommodation can help lessen the burden. I got an International High Achievers scholarship which roughly helped reduce the burden by 25%. I am satisfied with the growth as an individual however, comparing with other courses, I definitely feel that the lack of internship or real-life learning definitely hurt in the long-term.

Dislikes (Internships): There are very few opportunities for internships in this course; getting paid or unpaid internships is really hard. One can try for external internships; however, without proper past experience, it is really tough to get any. Due to visa limitations and future rights uncertainty, companies hesitate to choose students at first glance.

Master of Biotechnology (2 year) - Batch of 2026

3.7

University of Queensland is great for people aiming to pursue research in there career.

Tips: The biggest cultural shift was the fact that people are more laid back and chill. I got an international high achievers scholarship for students with good academic records. It reduced my fees by about 10%. I'm very satisfied with the course since it's world-recognised and the university is ranked 1 in Australia in its field. Also, the research sector here is great.

Likes (Safety): Public transport is good and feels safe. People are nice, and I have never felt unsafe even when walking home late at night. I also work overnight shifts, so I often travel by car late at night, but I always feel safe. I don't have many bad experiences to recount.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are very few opportunities for new graduates in my field. Plus, there aren’t many companies in this city that even hire people with my background. It looks like the options I have are to be a research assistant, a quality assurance manager, or a research scientist. If I get hired, I could be making as little as 45,000 Australian dollars a year, or, if I’m lucky and experienced, as much as 91,000 Australian dollars a year.

The university of Queensland is very student-friendly and has lots of clubs and events.

Tips: The University of Queensland is mainly research-based, but it also teaches you to be industry-ready. There is a high achievers' scholarship available for Indian students, and a professional experience course that is basically an internship placement course that can really help you step into the industry. You should check to see if your course has it for better post-study placement options.

Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation is nearly free, which is the cheapest in Australia, but bus frequency and range are an issue. You might have to change multiple buses if you live in a cheaper location away from the city. I recommend staying near the campus, so you don’t miss out on campus activities.

Dislikes (Student Life): The campus is open 24 hours for students. We also have good libraries and tons of research materials. Also, the university is very beautiful. They have student activities, wellness sections, and free food. Multicultural events are organised, and there are over 200 clubs for students who enjoy different sports and ethnicities.
