Master of Biotechnology - Batch of 2025
4.1
Once in a lifetime experience.
Tips: It definitely was a bit difficult initially like the way everything was electronically like assignments, lectures and so on, but I received equal help from everyone at every step. This university made sure I was aware about this country and how everything works since most of us were international students who came to Australia for the first time. I received a 10,000 scholarship and every university has some scholarships that they let u know when u receive the confirmation letter. Lack of job opportunities but this country is fabulous.
Likes (Indian Food): There are ample of Indian restaurants, cafes and various small street food corners especially in Indian community localities. They are slightly expensive if u compare them with INR but it's better than nothing. Since I love cooking, I prefer home cooked meals. Only occasionally I visit restaurants.
Dislikes (Value for money): I feel it's slightly expensive compared to other university in different cities. A degree can open doors to better jobs and a potential higher salary, the actual success in securing these opportunities might not be fully realized by the University boards, making this investment feel less certain. If the university would have provided strong career support or direct industry connections, the financial investment may feel fully justified rather than partial.

Tips: Whether you are aiming for permanent residency (PR) or not, it is important to select your course accordingly. There was a cultural shift, but it helps you grow into a calmer, composed and goal-focused individual. I received a scholarship of AUD 20,000 over two years.

Good college, but the curriculum needs improvement.
Tips: The lifestyle is much more relaxed and peaceful here compared to India. You can easily balance studies, sports, and other interests if you want to. While I am moderately satisfied with my university and course, I really enjoy living in Australia.
Likes (Safety): The university offers various facilities and programs, both on-campus and online, to support the mental health of its students. These initiatives ensure that every student feels safe and welcome. I've found that everyone I've met here is very friendly and welcoming.
Dislikes (Value for money): Personally, I feel the syllabus could be improved. Given the tuition fees, I believe we should be taught more relevant and valuable material. For the current syllabus, it might be better to attend a more affordable university, as skills are ultimately what matter in securing good employment.

Macquarie helps you to grow personally and professionally.
Tips: Students should know that Macquarie University has a supportive academic environment with excellent facilities and diverse teaching methods. The transition was smooth for me, although I did experience a bit of a cultural shift in terms of communication style and independent learning expectations. u2022 I received a scholarship worth $10000 AUD per year towards my tuition fee. This helped ease the financial burden a little. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my university, course and life in Australia. The country is welcoming, the education system is high quality, and there are good career opportunities after graduation.
Likes (Post study jobs): Sydney offers great post-study job opportunities, especially in fields like IT, finance and Management. Many companies hire international graduates and offer visa sponsorship, especially under post post-study work visa. Macquarie University has strong industry connections, which help with job placements. Common roles include business analyst, project coordinator and marketing executive, with starting salaries typically ranging from $55,000 to $75,000 AUD. The post-study work visa also gives students time to gain experience and apply for longer-term roles.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Sydney's public transportation is reliable and well-connected. Macquarie University is conveniently accessible by multiple modes of transport, including trains, buses and metro services. The campus has its own metro station, Macquarie University Station, which directly connects to the Sydney metro northwest line, making travel to and from the city and nearby suburbs quite convenient. The area also has frequent bus services and is located near major roads, so computing options are flexible. While public transportation is generally efficient, it can sometimes face delays or service disruptions, especially during peak hours or maintenance periods. Additionally, the cost of travel can add up over time for students.

The college is easy going, helpful, and welcoming.
Tips: Transition was a bit tough at the start. There was a cultural shift as well. I also got a scholarship from the university. The university is good at welcoming international students.
Dislikes (Internships): Currently, the internships are very limited and in limited sectors, specifically, it depends from university to university. To get internships, you must focus on the WAM (Weighted Average Mark), which should be at least 70 or more to get an internship.
