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 profil...

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 Skil...

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...

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 bef...

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 ...

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 s...

Deakin University does not provide many opportunities for students for jobs.

Tips: The transition was smooth, as everyone here was very friendly and helpful. I experienced a very little cultural shift but in a very positive way. I got a 25% scholarship, which was a huge help. The university is huge and has lots of facilities, and the course is very interesting. There is a direct tram and bus service from the university to various parts of Melbourne.

Tips: I had a challenging time adjusting to my freedom and the diverse cultures at Deakin. However, the inclusive environment at Deakin helped me adjust. I received a 25% Deakin International Scholarship based on academic merit, which helped offset the cost of tuition. The faculty is very helpful and many on-campus events are happening so try as much to participate in them and build connections.

The university is good and there are a lot of part-time opportunities.

Tips: There is a huge cultural difference, so get a part-time job as soon as possible and learn how to speak to locals and their culture. Students coming in might feel disconnected, but don't give up. Everyone feels the same. Just try to adjust and be open to all new things. Join international student communities to make friends. I had a 25% scholarship which helped me a lot. I got it based on my previous grades. I did the first two years of my 2+2 course in India and got the scholarship based on thos...

Tips: Coming to Australia and doing everything on your own will teach you essential life skills that will mould you into a person of character. Doing part-time jobs while managing assignment deadlines will test your time- mangled skills. Cooking healthy foods and avoiding the temptation to get takeout requires great self-control. On top of everything, you won't have your parents to tell you what to do, so self-discipline is the only thing that will take you places. All in all, it was a life-changing e...

Disappointing business studies and lacking practical preparation.

Tips: My experience with business studies at this university has been underwhelming and productive. While university rankings in Australia are often based on faculty qualifications, this not does unnecessarily translate to effective teaching. Though there are some dedicated and passionate educators, they are unfortunately the exception rather than the norm. Many lectures struggle with clear communication, making learning difficult - not due to accent, but because their language is often contradictory ...
