Master of Professional Accounting / Master of Business Administration - Batch of 2026

Offered by The University of Newcastle

4.2

The university is good, vivid and lively.

Tips: Students should know that there are no placements and will have to find a job on their own. Building connections and networking is key. Try to focus on study and balance part-time work with study. The university is ranked 200 something in the world ranking. It is a decent university, value for money and has a good infrastructure so I suggest you give it a try.

University is good but MBA Global course is a flop show.

Tips: Doing MBA Global from this university is not worth the money. As it won't provide you with any new opportunities in a different field. They also removed the international tour from the course after luring students into the course. Also in my class, there are 70 students. And about 66 are from India and Nepal and the rest are from China, Thailand and Sri Lanka. So no international exposure.

This college is alright. Amazing city!

Tips: It’s an amazing city. The campus is huge and the staff is very friendly and always willing to help. One thing that pinches me is that some courses are only for Australian residents which doesn’t seem fair. The libraries are legendary with the environment it provides for you to turn the study mode on.

Likes (Safety): I have rated high on safety because I’ve never felt unsafe. Also, when someone’s from Delhi, it’s very unlikely for them to find other places unsafe. Everyone is friendly and always willing to help. There are drunkards everywhere and this place has its fair share. Although brawls and fights are rare.

Dislikes (Public transportation): It’s a small city. Coming from Delhi where metros made our lives much easier, here, the buses are well connected but timings and high fares just don’t seem worth it. Plus, there are no concessions for students like in other parts of Australia. Otherwise, it’s okay.
