UQ - great campus, lots of opportunities
Tips: Yes, International student waiver scholarship was awarded it was around 6k. My counsellor helped me in the same. Yes, there is quite a cultural shift, timings, beliefs, have to be independent. The classes can start at 8am or sometimes the classes can be around 5 or 6 PM.
Likes (Indian Food): Too many Indian restaurants here from both north and south. Along with grocery store. I prefer cooking myself as its cost effective, eating outside is quite costly. Being students and also while working part-time jobs it does get hectic but then meal prep helps.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee for the university is on higher side. As per the curriculum I feel the feels are quite on higher side, the students have to mostly study on their own so sometimes it's difficult to justify the same. But the life on the campus is quite good.

Master of Data Science (2 year) - Batch of 2023
4.1
A great student experience with strong academics and career challenges
Tips: Moving from India to Australia was a big transition, but Brisbane made it relatively easy to settled in. People are generally friendly, and uq has a welcoming and multicultural environment. Academically, the Master of Data Science is challenging and requires consistent effort, particularly in programming, statistics and independent learning. One thing I would advise future students is not to depend entirely on the university for internships or employment. Start building your technical skills, projects and professional network early. Living expenses and tuition feels are also important factors to consider before coming here. Overall, I'm happy with my experience at UQ. The university provided a strong academic foundation, and studying in Australia helped me grow both professionally and personally .
Likes (Student Life): Student life at UQ was one of the best parts of my university experience. The St Lucia campus is beautiful, with excellent libraries, sports facilities, and plenty of space to study or relax with friends. There are numerous student clubs, cultural events, career workshops and social activities throughout the year. I particularly enjoyed meeting people from different countries and experiencing such a diverse environment. The university offers a great balance between academics and social life.
Dislikes (Internships): It is difficult for international students to find internships in domains such as Data Science and IT. Even though UQ offers its students career services and workshops where one gets the opportunity to network with prospective employers, finding an internship mostly relies on you personally. Some internships can prove to be quite competitive while others may even need residency or citizenship.

Master of Biotechnology (2 year) - Batch of 2026

The University of Queensland is best for Biotechnology.
Tips: The transition was pretty easy. It was a bit different to understand the education system over here but it was pretty straightforward and easy to get used to. I got the international student scholarships for indian student which gives 20 % off on your tuition fees each semester. It is applied while submitting your application. I am satisfied with the quality of learning over here, specifically for my course as I am currently working on groundbreaking research projects.
Likes (Safety): The campus offers excellent security and UQ had safezone app which connects you with all emergency contacts. The city is really safe and I feel comfortable taking a bus even at 3 am, never had any bad experience. Also, there is security available on the campus 24/7.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are available for my field of study with an industry placement option in the coursework. The university doesn't help with the internship search; students have to find it themselves. The internships offered for my course are related to the research and development sector. There are some institutes in UQ such as the Australian Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology and PEF which also offer internships.

UQ - great university and faculty but dont expect jobs to be handed to you
Tips: It's a great university with great facilities, but universities in general abroad don't help much with placements for full-time or part-time jobs. That is up to students. But they provide resources. Would suggest to first decide you going to settle or to study, and then whatever is reason choose the right university or course relevant. For example, if you want to get PR, study a course that helps you get PR. Do research and also talk to alumni.
Likes (Public transportation): It is very good and economical. UQ is well connected. Buses and boats are available. It is quite affordable and has good service. UQ is well connected by buses and boats. It's a good system in Brisbane. Easy and convenient. Loved it. I enjoyed public transport.
Dislikes (Part time work): UQ doesn't help in getting part-time work, but the city does have part-time work opportunities. On-campus part-time jobs are limited and competitive. You can get outside the campus. It is possible to manage studies with part-time work, but I suggest getting used to studying first, as it's a new style of study. I would say don't work in the first semester. Average payout depends on what you work in. But some people can earn well by overworking, but then compromise on studies or enjoying university life, or doing important internships. Would suggest working as many hours as allowed, but don't overdo.

Very safe and secure campus.
Tips: Before coming they should know how to manage time, case opportunities and ask for help when needed, as the first few months would be really stressful. The excess number of facilities can be overwhelming; however previous research on facilities, cost, transportation and accommodation can help lessen the burden. I got an International High Achievers scholarship which roughly helped reduce the burden by 25%. I am satisfied with the growth as an individual however, comparing with other courses, I definitely feel that the lack of internship or real-life learning definitely hurt in the long-term.
Dislikes (Internships): There are very few opportunities for internships in this course; getting paid or unpaid internships is really hard. One can try for external internships; however, without proper past experience, it is really tough to get any. Due to visa limitations and future rights uncertainty, companies hesitate to choose students at first glance.

Just overall things to keep in mind before finalising your college.
Tips: The students must know about whether their chosen course is eligible for PR points if they are planning on settling here in Australia. A lot of students miss this. They have to do their research before they finalize what courses are in the priority list released by the Aus government.
Likes (Student Life): The campus life is great. Lot of activities and social gatherings. Some of them are free and some are paid. But there is a lot of opportunity to meet and relax with other peers on campus. You can learn about different cultures, and Indian students are also there.
Dislikes (Internships): There are a lot of options for networking with companies. Lots of clubs are present, and they host these gatherings. A lot of professors are involved in industry-related projects, so it's up to you if you want to get an internship; you have to make connections with those professors and maybe ask for a referral. For courses like food science, they offer paid internships, but not for biotech.
