Master of Commerce (Extension) - Batch of 2027
3.8
No support for corporate world due to population.
Tips: There was a lot of cultural shift but there are mostly Chinese students around you and they won't talk to you unless they absolutely have to. International student scholarship from USYD. The problem is getting an internship.
Likes (Indian Food): On an average, you can get basic food at 20-25 dollars per person in a restaurant, which is considered cheap and Indian restaurants are good over here. You get every type of cuisine. For a fancy restaurant you have to pay anywhere between 40-50 dollars. And EatClub is quite helpful.
Dislikes (Safety): Campus security is good, it's not an issue. The issue is outside campus, there are so many druggies over here on every street and at night, people usually sleep in residential areas, so it is extremely quiet, which makes the night unsafe.

Bachelor of Economics (Honours) - Batch of 2028
4.6
A rewarding experience with transformative learning and self-discovery.
Tips: There was definitely a cultural shift adjusting to independent living, a new teaching style, and a more diverse community. Over time, I've become much more adaptable, confident and communicative. I am happy with my experience and growth here, studying in Australia has been an enriching cultural and a great learning experience so far.
Likes (Part time work): There are opportunities both on and off-campus. On campus roels include tutoring, student services, libraries and volunteering in the student union; while off camous there are plenty in retail, hospitality and customer service. Most students can easily manage part-time work with academics if they plan and divided their time well- working about 15-20 hours a week. The average payour range from AUD 25-32 per hour for my age group.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement is not straightforward for international students, as visa pathways are competitive and depend on skilled occupation list. My chances of setting here are moderate, with the right work experience and sponsorship in economics or data roles its possible but not guaranteed. I'm not sure about setting here considering my personal aspirations, but I value Australia's lifestyle and opportunities and would totally recommend setting here for other students.

4.7
Fun, stressful, relevant yet rewarding.
Tips: Know your course before you come. It would be a lot helpful if you're well aware of what you wish to do. I personally was very confused and had to change majors a couple of times, which is also an advantage because of flexibility, but this usually wastes a couple of elective spaces, so knowing what you want to study might streamline your academic needs and help you perform better. I was offered an International student award of 30% for all 4 years and a Vice Chancellor Scholarship of around 10,000 AUD for the first year only.
Likes (Part time work): Both on-campus and off-campus jobs are available. Initially, on-campus jobs would be tough as they require a fair bit of experience, but off-campus is a good start. The working rights are only 48 hours fortnightly, so it is approximately 24 hours a week, pretty manageable for me as a full-time student. The average pay varies from age to age. But most initial offers would start from 23-26 dollars an hour.
Dislikes (Internships): Though the careers centre at the University of Sydney does offer help and guidance with internships, most companies prefer domestic students for internships with unlimited working rights. However, if an individual is determined enough to get one, there are many pathways to it- it just needs to be explore.

The faculty is extremely diverse in terms of nationality and are very helpful.
Tips: There aren’t many Indian food joints that are good. It’s better to cook Indian food at home. Sometimes Indian restaurants provide you with very bad quality because, for obvious reasons, you can’t replicate the food you eat here in Sydney and the food you get at home. The faculty is extremely diverse in terms of nationality and very helpful with everything. Even if you don’t understand things in classes, they take the initiative to meet you separately and guide you appropriately. You can also schedule several meetings regarding your future at the university. If you aren’t 100% sure about going abroad and investing so much money in it, then don’t do it. It takes a lot out of you emotionally and physically, might not even be what it’s like in movies. But if you really know you can do this, then go for it because it’s definitely worth it.

The faculty is very knowledgeable, approachable and supportive.
Tips: Students should make sure they are choosing the right course. They should make sure they have a proper career path in mind and know what they want to do in the future. It's very expensive to change course later on, and almost impossible to complete a different course within the given time. Faculty are highly specialised, with the majority having Ph.D.s. The teaching is research-oriented and application-based. This includes practical learning, case studies, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The faculty is also quite diverse, bringing a global perspective to the student learning experience. The teaching method is highly effective and collaborative. The only downside to the area is the insanely high rents in the city. I really enjoyed my time studying at the University of Sydney.

There are a lot of opportunities to get involved in, catering to a wide variety of interests.
Tips: Make sure to research the course you’ll be pursuing, exchange options, scholarships, country, and future in that country for that course. Connect with graduates of that course on LinkedIn and ask for advice and their experience. Search the government website for scholarships. Student life is really good. However, it honestly depends on how much you involve yourself in the various opportunities offered. Internships are not supported directly by the university. You need to find them yourself. Many internships are only open to citizens of Australia or permanent residents. There are very few choices for international students, and you may have difficulty finding one. You will need to network with people and make contacts in order to land an internship.
