RMIT Careers has a lot of internship opportunities, but most of them are unpaid.

Tips: It's a very big campus spread across the city, so you have to be careful not to get lost. Coming from school, it's kind of hard to get used to the campus vibe of coming to the city, but after time, you get used to it, and it becomes easy to get to the university and join the clubs. This is very important to build friends. Try to socialise and build as many connections as you can. RMIT Careers has a lot of internship opportunities, but most of them are unpaid. I haven't found any yet that work for me. However, having the internship would look good on a resume, so it shouldn't be hard to find one. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Public transportation): It’s very easy to get to RMIT from various parts of Melbourne, especially if you’re coming from the west. I only have to switch two trains, so it’s easy. Of course, how easy it is depends on what part of Melbourne you’re coming from. Public transport isn’t too expensive, either. I roughly pay 2.25 dollars for a one-way trip because I have a student Myki pass. But the price depends on where you’re coming from in Melbourne and whether you take the bus or a tram, too.

Master of Data Science - Batch of 2025

Offered by RMIT University

The coursework is quite decent and the campus has plenty of things to do.

Tips: People need to put in the time to get things done. Speaking of culture, it is quite different compared to Indian colleges. It is more welcoming on the face of it but very professional to the meaning of it. I got a 20% scholarship which helped me save around 18,000 AUD. The coursework is also quite decent. It can get tough at times, but the placing is also quite fast. It can be managed though if given enough time. The campus has plenty of things to do. Student union conducts special events every Thursday which are quite cool. Other events also take place frequently providing free food, activities and most importantly free beer. The people here love their beer and it can seen in all the events. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the course, university and the country.

Dislikes (Safety): Melbourne City although has lower crime rates, it still doesn't feel safe. The main reasons for this would be the drug addicts, the junkies and occasionally gangs that roam around the city. The attackers are majority of the time not in their complete sense and conduct theft/violence just out of instincts which is why the police service seemingly has no choice but to let them go. They don't mess around with Indians though because they believe Indians have been through worse and can pretty much manhandle them if needed which is also partially true.

RMIT is good but needs a little introspection for the subjects.

Tips: Don't expect anything from what the people say and just go with the flow. Students should know that you will have to struggle with most things as working here is totally different from India. People are easygoing and that can be frustrating most of the time as work gets delayed a lot here however, you will also find many part-time opportunities so be prepared for that.

Excellent people with liberal thoughts and a scope of better career and personal growth.

Tips: The most challenging part for me was figuring out how to enrol in courses. I approached it like any other new experience, like riding public transportation or meeting new people. It was daunting at first, but it was worth it. Now I feel comfortable going anywhere, anytime, and talking to anyone. Classes typically meet two or three times a week during the fall and spring semesters and only once or twice a week during the summer semester. Each class lasts for a maximum of two or three hours. The classes are conducted in a workshop format, where professors and students interact and communicate throughout the class. You will likely spend more time in the library than in class. You can literally sit in any class with your student card and no one checks. I received a standard 20% international student scholarship for Indians without doing anything. Usually, standard scholarships are applied to your offer letter when you apply for the program at the university. For some scholarships, you have to apply after you receive your offer letter. I love this country and the people here. I have not met any rude people yet. I would say to get out of your comfort zone and participate in every university event, especially orientation never miss that. If you miss any events, you will likely end up with fewer friends because the more you meet someone, the closer you become. There are also numerous clubs for every interest. Join them and go to their events. Prioritize your university studies over part-time jobs. Otherwise, you will likely end up doing the same part-time job after graduation.

Likes (Internships): There are a lot of guidance available from universities. Most universities have a job-helping department, like RMIT's Jib Shop, that can help with reviewing resumes, preparing for job interviews, and even finding part-time jobs. The university also organizes a part-time career fair for students once a year in October. There are a lot of internships available, but a degree alone with the university name on it won't get you one. You need to have skills, good experience (university projects/university subjects), and network with others. If you don't have these things, consider a university that offers work-integrated learning (WIL) along with a degree. WIL is a mandatory internship program in which the university places you in a company for an internship or helps you find one on your own.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are several Indian restaurants in Tarneit, Truganina, Point Cook, and Werribee. The average cost per person is 25-40 Dollars. Some popular restaurants are Kasba on Lakes Road Tarneit and Dosa Hut in Tom Roberts Parade in Point Cook. I prefer to cook at home, but I do go out to eat occasionally.

Bachelor of Science (Nanotechnology) - Batch of 2027

3.6

The city is very expensive and it is difficult to find a part-time.

Tips: Students should know that you might feel that the community of this college would discriminate against you, but the college community is very supportive. They helped me in all aspects, including accommodation, food, and transportation. The campus is very good. The fees for this course at RMIT are very high at 40,000 AUD per year, and the living costs in Australia are also very high. However, the college is good, the students are supportive, and the staff is cooperative. So, if you can afford it, you might consider attending.

Likes (Safety): This college provides fantastic hostels for students. They are very clean and have all the essential. Safety measure are taken very seriously, with CCTVs everywhere and security guards surrounding the college.
