A supportive and enriching global learning experience.
Tips: Students should know that the university offers a supportive learning environment with strong academic resources, modern infrastructure and a wide range of student services. However, securing part-time work can take some time, and it's important to manage your finances and time wisely. Being proactive and open to new experiences will make the transition smoother. I received the vice-chancellor's 100% meritorious scholarship. I was awarded this based on my academic achievements and overall profile, which included leadership experience and community involvement. The scholarship covers full tuition fees.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The teaching staff in my department are highly knowledgeable, supportive and committed to student success. They bring a strong academic background along with real-world industry experience, which adds depth to our learning. The faculty are very accessible and approachable. They respond over email, are available during consultation hours and open to scheduling one-on-one meetings when students need extra help or guidance. Many of them go beyond the classroom, offering career advice and academic support whenever needed.
Dislikes (Part time work): While there are a variety of opportunities available, especially in off-campus roles, on-campus positions can be limited and highly competitive. On-campus jobs may include roles like library assistants, research support, or student ambassadors, which offer valuable experience but are not always easy to secure. Off-campus, many students find flexible part-time roles in hospitality, retail or customer service. Balancing part-time work with academics is generally manageable, particularly if you plan your schedule well. The average hourly wage for part-time work typically ranges between AUD 24 to AUD 30, depending on the type of job and experience.

There are innumerable post-study work opportunities after graduation.
Tips: If you're coming to Deakin University, don't stay close to the city. Instead, stay in areas like Glen Waverley, Mount Waverley, Box Hill, and Burwood. They have great public transportation, so you don't need a car as soon as you arrive. Be prepared to hear "no" from a lot of employers since it's hard to get jobs here. And make sure you have a driver's license. It's a wise decision to settle or plan to settle in Australia, as immigration is mostly streamlined. However, it has delays, but the Skilled Occupation List and Skilled Shortage List help people determine whether their studies are needed.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are innumerable post-study work opportunities after graduation, and the university also has an employment cell to get you trained or ready for a job. There are multiple options of working on campus in university jobs as well as finding a job elsewhere in the city. It’s not as bad as the UK.

Poor course, great university, great country, and networking is preferred over skills.
Tips: My Indian University hired a VISA consultant who did most of the application work and I prepared for my IELTS to transition here, taking the entire process about 5 months. The difference was too much availability of non-vegetarian food such as beef, pork, chicken, fish etc. which you might also have to deal with at part-time jobs and expensive vegetarian food if eating out. Further, the weather here is unpredictable as rain can downpour anytime. Cleaning standards are high here and dust does not fly off in the wind hence white clothes or shoes will not get dirty for days. Teachers and professors or even the elderly are called by their first names without any sir or mam. The culture is also difficult for Indian students as we are used to getting spoon-fed by our teachers while maintaining a standard of attendance, but here you can attend classes at your own pace and you are expected to have gone through the provided online material before attending any class. My scholarship is 25% which was the maximum allowed and is provided by almost all the universities in Australia easily and my course included getting a high credit grade to avail scholarship. Overall, I'm satisfied with my course due to the negligence of core unit selection. However, I'm satisfied with the country and the university that provides several services such as counselling, networking, sports events and other events.
Likes (Safety): The region that I live in Melbourne, Victoria is pretty safe and I can walk with headphones, using my smartphone in the middle of the night, without a care of being robbed, mugged or assaulted but there are always exceptions such as drunkards, hood people and more. To date, I have had no safety issues. To ensure safety, most of the area is covered with surveillance systems, cameras, traffic systems, reliable health care services expensive, or not have good health cover and trustworthy and unbiased people, mostly.
Dislikes (Part time work): The availability of on-campus part-time jobs is scarce and off-campus jobs are average and mostly require prior experience, and references which can be anyone as long as they have an "Australian phone number" and several hours of standing and repetitive work. There is racism when getting a job and recruiters mostly prefer people from their own ethnicity, except Indians who try to exploit you in terms of pay rate as well as other ways. The part-time work is manageable as there is a strict maximum limit of working 48 hours a fortnight, hence, one can easily manage their academics, if capable. The average payout in Australia in Victoria for part-time is 24.1 AUD per hour and for casuals which is another job category, that includes you working, when there is a requirement, you have the control to reject plays 30.25 AUD per hour, which could be unreliable at times.

Navigating culture, community, and course choices.
Tips: Students should always select courses based on personal research. Also, make sure to keep up with the frequent changes to immigration rules. Me, as a girl from a joint family and coming to an unfamiliar country miles away from my family, found the initial days difficult. The cultural differences were vast, but because everyone here was welcoming, it didn't take me long to become a part of the community. I am very satisfied with my university and course, but I do wish I had done some research before taking my course instead of blindly listening to my counsellor.
Likes (Quality of faculty): All the faculty are accessible via email. Each subject has mentors in addition to professors. The teaching methodology is unique and doesn't use textbooks. All course materials are accessible online. The teaching staff comes from a variety of countries. We learn more practical knowledge than theoretical knowledge.
Dislikes (Value for money): The selection of any university is okay. It’s not that you only have to study in high-end universities. Where ever you study it’s the same. At last, all that matters is your skills and experience. I think instead of sticking to the same university from start to finish, I had to explore more universities before applying to a high-end university.

There aren't many events at Deakin but there are lots of students clubs and are quite active.
Tips: One thing to remember is that the education system is very different from India. I struggled quite a lot to adjust to this system and eventually pulled through but it was quite hard to. I do have a scholarship, and it covers a good amount of my fee. My friends are on a 100% scholarship which I couldn't qualify for because of age restrictions and they completed internationally for the Deakin Vice-Chancellor International 100% Scholarship. It is a difficult competition but I would fully recommend trying out for it because giving it a shot could give you better results than you think. I am satisfied with my experience here, the course and country are both wonderful and I love it here. It's definitely a wonderful university and I would completely recommend it.
Likes (Public transportation): There are bus options and tram options round the clock. Victoria's public transport is expensive going up to 10 dollars a day. But Deakin specifically offers student discounts that cut down costs by almost 50% so it's definitely cheaper than it's supposed to be however, most universities don't do this.
Dislikes (Student Life): My days are usually just studying and hanging out with my friends. I enjoy the beautiful vast campus with all the cool buildings and spots to study and hill, studying here doesn't really feel like studying, it just feels like a fun activity. There aren't many events at Deakin, but the clubs are quite active and arrange many programs for the club members. I participate in quite a lot, considering I am a club executive, but it wouldn't be the same for someone who doesn't actively look to get involved in activities. Lots of student clubs, I believe over 100 are present at Deakin. Indian communities, religious communities, fashion communities, tech and art and lots more.

Multidimensional, multicultural and engaging.
Tips: Students should be open to new opportunities. Networking is key to gaining success in your field. Scholarships depend on how well you've fared in your undergrad course. I received a 75% scholarship based on the same. I'm quite satisfied with the university, the course as well as the country.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): My chances are quite wide since many organisations in sports are on the lookout for fresh graduates and a pool of talent. Given a chance, I would surely permanently migrate here since Australia has a great sports industry and network of professionals.
Dislikes (Part time work): There were few part-time roles available on campus. The average payout used to be 20 Dollars per hour. Managing part-time work along with academics was easily manageable since the assignments were spread out and had plenty of resources available at libraries and online.
