Master of Biotechnology - Batch of 2026

3.7

A research focused experience with great learning.

Tips: Students should do basic research about the coursework as it requires time management, as we have lots of practical assignments including group projects or theoretical assignments. My transition here was quite smooth but I had to deal with some cultural differences as the coursework is more self paced and not too hectic but there are deadlines. I got a 10% scholarship because I had scored well in my bachelor's. I'm quite satisfied with the country and my university as I'm gaining lots of practical experience and developing research based skills.

Likes (Part time work): There are lots of part time work options either on campus or off campus. On campus roles can be a library assistant, working in a university cafe, or being a student ambassador. Off campus jobs have lots of options including retail, warehousing, hospitality and supermarket which lots of students do. Managing part time along with academics is not difficult if you can manage the time well since you only get limited hours per fortnight during your ongoing semester but if you have one, you can use it on basic expenses. Average payout would be around 25-30AUD but it depends on the work experience you have had before.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I'm currently in my 3rd sem and I haven't had the chance to explore the jobs yet. Also from what I have experienced or got to know from other students, I can say that securing one depends on your skills, connections and experience. One would have to apply for the post study visa to get a job but some companies do offer visa sponsorship. Graduates from my field can get into jobs such as lab technician, research assistant or in the QC field with salaries ranging from 50,000 AUD to 70,000AUD based on experience or the company.

Master of Data Science - Batch of 2027

Fun and vibrant student life.

Tips: This is a very good university. I don't think you'll regret coming over here. The value for money is good. It is located in the main area. The connectivity is good. The study environment is fast-paced and quite independent. You will have to spend time in the library with your friends or else by yourself.

Likes (Part time work): A lot of events are going on in the university. There are clubs like RUSU, RIC. They organise events like Disco, Disco deewane, Garba event, etc. I have enjoyed myself a lot with my friends at those events. A good place to connect and make new friends. There's an event every Tuesday under the Kirrip Club at RMIT. So Tuesdays are fun, we play a lot of games, video games, cars, chess, and stuff like that on Tuesdays. We get to meet new people over there.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The quality of faculty is good. They are very friendly. You can go to them and ask about any doubts that you have in your mind. They would help you solve the doubt. We can book the session if we are not comfortable asking questions in class. The faculty is very accessible and approachable. They respond to emails within a reasonable time. Good experiences.

Great learning experience.

Tips: Students should know that the workload is fast paced but the learning environment is very supportive. Transitioning here was smooth with easy VISA process. I got a lot of help from IDP. I also availed a scholarship of a 20% tuition fee waiver.

Dislikes (Safety): The campus feels safe with security, CCTV and late night support but the city can be crowded at times. Plus, the tram connectivity with proper public transport, multiple routes, makes travel easier and comfortable. It's a good experience.

Master of Analytics - Batch of 2025

4.1

If you want to study, go for UniMelb or Monash. It's more practical-based, and the exams are good.

Tips: Got more confident about everything. Most things have changed. How you behave, how you appear and speak with everyone, civic sense, etc. Everyone gets a 20% scholarship. And it's directly deducted from the fees when you receive the offer letter. It's good, but there are better universities.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is well organized but a bit expensive. The city campus is in the free tram zone if you live nearby. Also, getting a car is not recommended in the city, as you have no space for parking and no parking space for the RMIT City Campus. You have a tram stop only, but it's exactly in front of the university. The bus and train stop is 5 minutes walking.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Not many options. Also, Indian food is expensive than local food. The taste is not exactly similar to what we get in India. But it satisfied the craving. For example, you get one dish for 700-800 rupees, which we eat for 50-70 rupees in India. We prefer to cook for ourselves. Frozen roti or chapati, and you can make curry or rice at home.

The university is friendly but focus on network building.

Tips: I have truly transformed after coming here. You need to take care of everything – financially, physically, and mentally. The university is friendly and the faculty are very supportive and encourages us to participate in events and activities. I received a 20% scholarship when I applied, and I am very satisfied with my course, the university, and the country so far.

Master of Data Science - Batch of 2025

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.
