Bachelor of Science (Computing & Software Systems) - Batch of 2027

3.6

Intense academic environment.

Tips: This college is not like back in India, the studies are way more intense you need to focus week on week to get good grades and if you fail here, you can't give supplementary exams, you'll have to end up extending your degree because you have to retake the subject.

Likes (Public transportation): Every place you can imagine, there will be a bus or a tram line available throughout Victoria. I personally travel 2-3 hrs or a few done shots and the transportation lies are just amazing. They are a bit expensive in Victoria but as a student you will get a concession.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The permanent residence in this country purely depends on which degree and major you're pursuing. Personally I'm a Comp Science major and I would need college + 3 years of experience + IELTS bands to compete for the overall point system and we get to work only for 2 years. So unless you get a work sponsorship or you also do your Masters / Ph.D. here it's harder to get PR.

Bachelor of Science in Data Science - Batch of 2025

3.8

Academically challenging but good.

Tips: There is a bit of a cultural shift when you come from India but you will adjust within a few weeks/ months. Getting a scholarship as an international Bachelor student is quite tough and I wasn't able to get any. I am satisfied with my university but I do feel like it is quite expensive for what it offers and I am not sure how much return I am going to get out of it.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is quite accessible and is very well connected. It is however not very affordable as you have to pay 10 dollars (600 INR) even if you have to travel two stops ahead. But it is very well connected to the city and suburbs and you don't really need a car if living in the city.

Dislikes (Value for money): It is quite a lot and I believe the ROI is not much. The salaries you get compared to what an international student pays don't justify it. But again, it is one of the best universities in the world so you pay for the quality and the experience it offers.
