Master of Data Science - Batch of 2025
3.9
The university doesn't offer dedicated placement offers.
Tips: I personally haven't received any scholarship throughout my degree. People who are planning to join the university, especially for the Data Science course should make sure their math and statistics foundation is pretty good because students have to take at least 2 statistics subjects each semester.
Likes (Safety): Me and my friends haven't come across any trouble during our time at the university. The university has well-equipped facilities to ensure the students are safe in and out of the campus, they have dedicated lines for harassment, racism, and other safety issues. I personally haven't experienced any bad situations during my time in Melbourne for about 2 years.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The university doesn't offer dedicated placement offers, it is best recommended for students to start looking out for jobs at the start of their final year. There are quite a few companies that offer a sponsor visa and it is hard for international students. People can get into roles like Data & AI consultant, Data Scientist, ML engineer, GenAI engineer, and Data analyst. Freshers can expect 70,000-80,000 as a starting salary.

Master of Environmental Science - Batch of 2025

Multicultural and respectful community.
Tips: I think all the classes happen in a more practical way than theory and that's the most amazing part about it! There is not much exam pressure! There are easy subjects and sometimes putting in the best effort helps and it's very multicultural. Too good.
Likes (Post study jobs): I think all the universities here have a good amount of career fairs that help students get jobs. They have good connections and world class facilities that help in overall development. I think it also means you have to put in your effort in searching for opportunities by doing volunteering or unpaid internships as they count as very important experience.
Dislikes (Student Life): The socialising is amazing, but sometimes after the class there are not many class events. If they could have more involved sessions, it would be great! I think finding your community could take time but it gets easier when you join clubs and chapters and part time jobs.

Bachelor of Commerce - Batch of 2026
3.8
Easy to get into, but difficult to survive. Feels absolutely worth it when you graduate.
Tips: I personally did not experience a major cultural shift, I was more curious and excited every time I got to know about something different. It all depends on the mindset. I personally did not avail any scholarships. I am very satisfied with my experience at university. However, it is a little difficult to make friends in a new country so you really have to put yourself out there and get out of your comfort zone.
Likes (Indian Food): Since the University of Melbourne campus is in the city, there are so many options for indian food. Almost every convenience store also has samosas. The quality of indian food here is absolutely phenomenal. I don't miss food back home too much because most of it is available here. However, it's quite expensive comparatively.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): For all my lectures, the faculty was absolutely the best of the best. The University is quite difficult to survive in. But the faculty provide the right guidance and they're always available to sit down and have a chat. They also don't rush towards the end of the lectures. For tutorials they're mostly honours students who help you solve important questions in class. They're also all overachieving students at the university.

Master of Environment - Batch of 2025
3.2
The education is good, but support after graduations is limited.
Tips: The transition to university life was smooth; however, post-grad options are limited. Australian universities are not like Indian universities, so make sure you have the mindset when enrolling. Make sure to attend orientation. This helped me a lot.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The education level, the content, and the discussion were all good. Everyone is open to each other's POV. Additionally, we had lots of guest lectures, field trips, and practical lessons. Perhaps the only complaint that I have is the assignments. They were all subjective.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The University of Melbourne does not provide any career support for grades. Usually, companies like KPMG and EY will usually offer a package of 75,000. It might depend on a different major. I would say, start early and make sure to job hunt. Plus, networking is gold.

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.

Academic but not professional.
Tips: Try to get out of student accommodation as quickly as possible, move in with a friend, or find people on apps like flatmate finders etc. There are short term loan but not many scholarships You have to make a very active effort from the first year, I know it's easier said than done, but once you are settled in and please take your time settling in, that is very important; however once you are settled, start building a network, going to events and reaching out to people.
Likes (Safety): Pretty safe campus. They've got on-call security and other safety measures. Never felt unsafe on campus, but please use the services if you do, that's why they are there. It is an open campus, but in the heart of the city. Need to be more careful at night and around the main CBD but the campus is generally good. Beware of cults however.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Very few companies at the moment, and job roles for graduates are minimal unless you work your way up from first year, you can get a decent offer of 70,000. I'd suggest RMIT or Swinburne for professional opportunities; Unimelb doesn't have that infrastructure.
