Master of Data Science - Batch of 2025

4.2

Great university, good faculty and facilities.

Tips: The university has been challenging, but I am now able to excel in the areas of Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI. I now have the knowledge and skills I need to excel. The faculty is very helpful and accessible. Just try to be active and engage during classes. Public transportation is very convenient and affordable. I only spend around 100 on transportation. Being an international student can be challenging, but it has also been a fun experience that I would recommend to others. Overall, I am very satisfied with Macquarie University and Australia as a country.

Master of Data Science - Batch of 2025

4.7

Great college campus with lots of activities and friendly faculty.

Tips: Students should know that there is a cultural difference and you meet people from different races and backgrounds. Some might be rude, some might help you but you will also find Indians especially since my university has the most diverse culture in Sydney. I got a scholarship of INR 10 Lakhs. Overall, I am satisfied with my campus and university.

Likes (Safety): The law in Australia is strict, which makes it difficult to commit crimes. The area where I live has excellent security, especially my off-campus apartment building, which requires keycard access to enter. I feel very safe here.

Dislikes (Internships): The university doesn't provide campus placement, so we have to find our own internships. Also, we get rejected for internships because of visa requirements. However, I do have friends who have gotten internships, so it is possible. My field is data science, and it is easier to get an internship in this field.

Master of Information Systems Management - Batch of 2024

3.9

The college is well managed and friendly.

Tips: Students should be mentally prepared to study and prepare for classes. The academic environment is really nice in the university and lectures are friendly too but you should be prepared to ask questions to the lecturers whenever you have any. Be as open as possible and participate in events, activities and campaigns and build connections.

Likes (Safety): Sydney is one of the safest places to live. The crime rate is very low, and I feel safe when I am travelling at midnight too. The sense of security is really good, I can walk freely around the city. Also, the encounter with police that I have had always been satisfactory.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I do prefer cooking outside because the food outside is not that great and I'm pretty much disappointed by the taste in most of the places. There are not many options available near the place where I live, and the places available charge for food excessively so I prefer cooking.

Master of Information Systems Management - Batch of 2025

4.1

Plenty of study options to choose

Tips: Make sure you are availing the 2 year course which will provide you a post-study work visa. The quality of teaching depends on the tutor, some of the tutors are great some are below par. The University is well equipped with all the requirements, labs, study areas, library, classrooms, open area, etc A suggestion, if you are good with your academics, Macquarie offer Master in Research where your 1st year is a normal master's program and 2nd year is for your research work. It has a couple of advantages - 1. Highly valued degree, once you have this degree you will easily find a high paying job. 2. Full working rights when you are doing your research work. I have seen students finishing their research in 1st 4-5 months, remaining months they worked full time and earned lots of dollars. 3. Extra Points for PR 4. If your academic score is well, 2nd year will be fully funded by Macqurie (100% scholarships) You need to be good with your writing skills as the research paper are 50 pages fully written in your own words. I would highly suggest everyone look at these options. Disadvantage - 1. Difficult compared to normal master's degree. 2. If your research work is not up to the mark, you might spend some extra time completing your degree. 3. You have to do it all alone. Unlike normal masters where you can take help from your friends. Remember it is research on a new topic (similar to Phd)

Likes (Student Life): The University is big, you will make lots of friends if you are good with making new connections. You can find any odd jobs so that you can start earning some dollars. Sydney is a beautiful place where you can roam around. The University does well in welcoming first-year students.

Dislikes (Internships): It's early for me to comment as I am studying for my 1 semester exam. I have seen lots of companies coming here with their internship program but you have to make your own way there. One thing to notice is all the internships are unpaid. There are lots of classes for how to write your essay, build CV, etc
