Master of Business Administration (Professional Practice) - Batch of 2024
3.7
A good quality education with affordable fees.
Tips: I have transitioned from a shy student to a great communicator. Darwin has a smaller Indian community compared to other states, which meant I didn't have the chance to celebrate all the festivals. I received a 30% scholarship from CDU, directly provided by the university. While I am not fully satisfied with my course due to the limited job opportunities in my field, I am fully satisfied with my choice of country.
Likes (Part time work): CDU offers limited on-campus part-time jobs, but there are many off-campus opportunities. While some students find it challenging to secure part-time work, it's manageable to balance a part-time job with studies. The average pay rate is around $28, varying by job type and position. Casual positions generally offer higher pay than regular part-time roles.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Darwin offers limited job opportunities for graduates compared to other states like Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide. While some administrative roles are available for graduates, the salary typically ranges around 65k.

A supportive and culturally rich learning experience.
Tips: Before joining, students should know that the college offers strong academic support, a diverse faculty and excellent campus life. Transitioning here was smooth. Though I did experience a positive cultural shift with more independence and diversity. I did not avail of any scholarships, but I am highly satisfied with my university course and studying in Australia.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The campus offers a vibrant and welcoming environment. I enjoy spending time, attending classes, studying with friends and participating in the cultural events and workshops. The campus hosts regular activities like festivals.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Faculty is highly knowledgeable, supportive and approachable. They use interactive teaching methods like real-world case studies, practical labs, and group discussions. The department also has faculty from diverse nationalities.

Charles Darwin University offers a well-rounded experience with strong academics.
Tips: The university offers a supportive and diverse environment, but students should be prepared for high living cost and a fast-paced academic system. I am highly satisfied with my course and life in Australia. Furthermore, I secured a merit scholarship upon applying for the course.
Likes (Part time work): As a student, your day is full of classes, study sessions, and socialising in the campus lunchroom or cafe. While there weren't any student clubs when I began, there are now established clubs with cultural societies and professional groups that foster engagement and growth.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The expertise, innovative teaching methods, and dedication to student success are noteworthy. Faculty maintain open communication during office hours, creating a supportive environment. Their unique methodology, incorporating problem-based learning and technology integration, enhances critical thinking and practical application skills.

Supportive, diverse, and career-focused learning experience.
Tips: Students should be prepared for a relaxed, multicultural environment and a tropical climate. I adapted well after a brief cultural adjustment and am satisfied with my course, university, and life in Australia, especially with the support from my scholarship.
Likes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are fairly accessible both on and off campus, offering flexible hours that accommodate academic schedules. The average pay ranges from AUD 25-30 per hour, providing effective support for living expenses. These jobs also offer significant support for covering living costs and gaining valuable local work experience, which is beneficial for future growth.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The faculty at Charles Darwin University is knowledgeable and supportive, but consistency varies across units. Their practical teaching methods and cultural diversity enrich the learning experience and significantly enhance the overall academic experience.

I feel this university is good. Darwin campus is good and the faculty too.
Tips: I have experienced a cultural shift after moving here. I went to an event after my 1st semester. It was good, I met interesting people there also some good faculty members form different departments. I got scholarships with my PTE grade. I am satisfied with the University and with the course that I am pursuing.
Dislikes (Part time work): The faculty is good for students. And about the part-time jobs, they are less because of the student visa not many part-time jobs are here. It is manageable to do part-time work along with studies.

Deakin:A place to belong
Tips: The thing is you'll find a lot of Indian students here. This will help you in the transition making it easier. A bit of cultural shift and I'm sure you guys will adapt. No scholarships.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is something which is really good. Buses every 10 minutes and you've trams as well. Connectivity shouldn't be an issue. One point to note is that travelling time might be higher in some cases. Eg: 10 km will take about an hr.
Dislikes (Part time work): As a student who is new, finding a part time job can be overwhelming especially not knowing where to start from. The only thing to remember is to reach out for referrals. Finding a job with referrals will make the job search 10 times easier.

Beautiful, supportive and reliable.
Tips: I have observed a huge cultural shift, especially during Indian festivals. They do celebrate here, but it can't be compared with the celebrations in India. I got a 25% scholarship, applying online. If you are coming through agents, always make sure to double-check the information provided by the agent. I have come across multiple Indian students who were cheated by their agents, only to extort money from them. If people have experience from India, then they won't find the course very useful. Although the professors provide huge support to students in their academics so make sure to reach out and don't be shy.
Likes (Indian Food): If students are looking for Indian restaurants, then I would say Clayton has many restaurants. I prefer cooking at home since I can manage my calorie intake. The average rate for a meal would be 30 AUD. I would highly recommend trying different cuisines as well.
Dislikes (Part time work): I would recommend that students always check their student job portals for availability on-campus part-time jobs. The pay rate is very good. Sometimes managing part-time work along with academics might be a bit difficult but try to balance everything.

Deakin University increases fees every year, so living on campus is expensive.
Tips: One thing that students should know before coming to this university is that the teaching style is quite different from that in India, and there won't be regular classes and exams as we are accustomed to in India. Students need to make themselves more practical-oriented and focus on balancing their studies with other chores. Some other important points to note are that university fees increase every year, and living inside the university accommodation is expensive, as compared to living outside.
Likes (Safety): Deakin always has security officers present at the university 24/7. Also, they have an app called Safe Zone, using which the campus security team can access our location. There are different options available on the application, using which we can call the campus support services.
Dislikes (Internships): It's not hard to get into chips, but in Australia, colleges don't place students, and you are responsible for finding your own internships. Thankfully, Deakin has a team called "DeakinTalent" that can provide some guidance on building a resume and LinkedIn profile. Still, you're left to your own devices to take full advantage of these resources.

Deakin University is academically demanding but rewarding.
Tips: Before joining, know it's academically demanding but rewarding. Transitioning was tough at first cultural shift hit hard, but I got adapted in about 2 months. I got a merit-based scholarship with a decent discount on my studies.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is one of the best things in Melbourne. Trains, trams and buses - they connect every small area which you can not even think of. Everything runs on a smart card system called Myki, and services are generally frequent, reliable and easy to navigate for newcomers.
Dislikes (Internships): Honesty internships are not really the culture here. Instead, you usually get part-time jobs, working alongside professors as assistants and getting paid for that experience. However, typically you need to be at least in your second year of studies and have a decent academic standing to do this.

The university is diverse, has a great culture, and really puts students first.
Tips: Deakin University is a great place to study. I like that the university is diverse, has a great culture, and really puts students first. It has several campuses, but Burwood is the main one. It's a fun university with a very diverse and friendly student body.
Likes (Safety): Melbourne or other cities in Australia are super safe because of super friendly people, there is a strong sense of community, and it is a developed country, so services like police help or ambulance are very great and fast. Australia is also very clean.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I want permanent residence, or PR or citizenship of Australia because it is a very good country and very diverse in culture, with proper safety and also the work-life balance is great. Career growth is best in Australia, and you can also change careers very easily.

Easy going, fun loving and friendly university.
Tips: Students should know that it's an amazing place to come to and pursue their degree. We get to meet people from various cultures and learn about different people and their lives. Moreover, we get to try more things, explore new places around us, and it's always a better experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): What I enjoy the most is the campus, it holds so many events and games every day, most of the events have freebies and rewards, which encourage us to be a part of it. There are a lot of clubs for different people, like I'm a part of the Indian club, which organises events for Indian students and doesn't make them feel left out.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The teachers and the faculty have been really kind, and they understand the students deeply and try to help us whenever we are stuck at some point. Moreover, it doesn't require any physical studies; all of it is digital, which enables us to easily access the content or assignments from anywhere. Plus, it has benefits for the environment as it reduces paper waste.

Deakin University: Innovative, inclusion and industry redlines.
Tips: I have transitioned in many ways, and Australia has changed my point of view in each and every way. There was not much of a cultural shift. The people of Australia are very friendly and have a welcoming nature. In the beginning, it was pretty tough because I didn't have friends or relatives. But it made me the most, the strongest, and self-powerful, and that is what independence means. Public transportation is the best in the city. It is affordable, accessible, and convenient. It costs me $300 monthly, which I feel is a good rate. The buses are frequent, which is also helpful.

Tips: I think if you just know the basic cultural slang of Australia, you are good to go. People here are really nice, so try meeting new people, talking to them, and making friends everywhere, and you will never feel homesick. If you don't feel homesick, everything would be easy for you. The faculty is very sweet and helpful, everything is so smooth with them, and I have never faced any problem talking to them. We're provided with multiple ways to talk to them, like through messages, through regular meetings for our doubts, or in person during doubt sessions.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I am sure that I would be able to get a permanent residence very easily, and, if I were given a chance, I would settle in this country because of the work environment, easily accessible public health facilities, cleanliness, and everyone is so nice here.

A supportive and enriching global learning experience.
Tips: Students should know that the university offers a supportive learning environment with strong academic resources, modern infrastructure and a wide range of student services. However, securing part-time work can take some time, and it's important to manage your finances and time wisely. Being proactive and open to new experiences will make the transition smoother. I received the vice-chancellor's 100% meritorious scholarship. I was awarded this based on my academic achievements and overall profile, which included leadership experience and community involvement. The scholarship covers full tuition fees.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The teaching staff in my department are highly knowledgeable, supportive and committed to student success. They bring a strong academic background along with real-world industry experience, which adds depth to our learning. The faculty are very accessible and approachable. They respond over email, are available during consultation hours and open to scheduling one-on-one meetings when students need extra help or guidance. Many of them go beyond the classroom, offering career advice and academic support whenever needed.
Dislikes (Part time work): While there are a variety of opportunities available, especially in off-campus roles, on-campus positions can be limited and highly competitive. On-campus jobs may include roles like library assistants, research support, or student ambassadors, which offer valuable experience but are not always easy to secure. Off-campus, many students find flexible part-time roles in hospitality, retail or customer service. Balancing part-time work with academics is generally manageable, particularly if you plan your schedule well. The average hourly wage for part-time work typically ranges between AUD 24 to AUD 30, depending on the type of job and experience.

There are innumerable post-study work opportunities after graduation.
Tips: Be prepared to hear "no" from a lot of employers since it's hard to get jobs here. And make sure you have a driver's license. It's a wise decision to settle or plan to settle in Australia, as immigration is mostly streamlined. However, it has delays, but the Skilled Occupation List and Skilled Shortage List help people determine whether their studies are needed.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are innumerable post-study work opportunities after graduation, and the university also has an employment cell to get you trained or ready for a job. There are multiple options of working on campus in university jobs as well as finding a job elsewhere in the city. It’s not as bad as the UK.

Navigating culture, community, and course choices.
Tips: Students should always select courses based on personal research. Also, make sure to keep up with the frequent changes to immigration rules. Me, as a girl from a joint family and coming to an unfamiliar country miles away from my family, found the initial days difficult. The cultural differences were vast, but because everyone here was welcoming, it didn't take me long to become a part of the community. I am very satisfied with my university and course, but I do wish I had done some research before taking my course instead of blindly listening to my counsellor.
Likes (Quality of faculty): All the faculty are accessible via email. Each subject has mentors in addition to professors. The teaching methodology is unique and doesn't use textbooks. All course materials are accessible online. The teaching staff comes from a variety of countries. We learn more practical knowledge than theoretical knowledge.
Dislikes (Value for money): The selection of any university is okay. It’s not that you only have to study in high-end universities. Where ever you study it’s the same. At last, all that matters is your skills and experience. I think instead of sticking to the same university from start to finish, I had to explore more universities before applying to a high-end university.

There aren't many events at Deakin but there are lots of students clubs and are quite active.
Tips: One thing to remember is that the education system is very different from India. I struggled quite a lot to adjust to this system and eventually pulled through but it was quite hard to. I do have a scholarship, and it covers a good amount of my fee. My friends are on a 100% scholarship which I couldn't qualify for because of age restrictions and they completed internationally for the Deakin Vice-Chancellor International 100% Scholarship. It is a difficult competition but I would fully recommend trying out for it because giving it a shot could give you better results than you think. I am satisfied with my experience here, the course and country are both wonderful and I love it here. It's definitely a wonderful university and I would completely recommend it.
Likes (Public transportation): There are bus options and tram options round the clock. Victoria's public transport is expensive going up to 10 dollars a day. But Deakin specifically offers student discounts that cut down costs by almost 50% so it's definitely cheaper than it's supposed to be however, most universities don't do this.
Dislikes (Student Life): My days are usually just studying and hanging out with my friends. I enjoy the beautiful vast campus with all the cool buildings and spots to study and hill, studying here doesn't really feel like studying, it just feels like a fun activity. There aren't many events at Deakin, but the clubs are quite active and arrange many programs for the club members. I participate in quite a lot, considering I am a club executive, but it wouldn't be the same for someone who doesn't actively look to get involved in activities. Lots of student clubs, I believe over 100 are present at Deakin. Indian communities, religious communities, fashion communities, tech and art and lots more.

Tips: The transition was smooth, as everyone here was very friendly and helpful. I experienced a very little cultural shift but in a very positive way. I got a 25% scholarship, which was a huge help. The university is huge and has lots of facilities, and the course is very interesting. There is a direct tram and bus service from the university to various parts of Melbourne.

The city of Melbourne is very welcoming, and I would highly recommend this university to any international student. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience at Deakin University.
Dislikes (Part time work): The university does not provide many opportunities for students to work part-time. However, there are many part-time job opportunities available in Melbourne. Part-time work is manageable because students cannot work more than 48 hours per fortnight due to visa restrictions. The average hourly pay rate is between 25 and 31 aud.

The university is good and there are a lot of part-time opportunities.
Tips: There is a huge cultural difference, so get a part-time job as soon as possible and learn how to speak to locals and their culture. Students coming in might feel disconnected, but don't give up. Everyone feels the same. Just try to adjust and be open to all new things. Join international student communities to make friends. I had a 25% scholarship which helped me a lot. I got it based on my previous grades. I did the first two years of my 2+2 course in India and got the scholarship based on those two years. The course is fine, and the university doesn't matter. The country is awesome. There are some problems, but no place is perfect. This is one of the best in my opinion. The minimum pay itself is very high, and jobs are available.
Likes (Indian Food): There are all types of food from around the world available, but the prices are quite high, especially for students. Eating out every day is not feasible, so I cook for myself, which is more cost-effective. There are tiffin services that provide two meals for 10-15 dollars, so that is another option.
Dislikes (Value for money): In Australia, nobody cares about your college but only your skills and network determine whether you get a job. Even if you do the same course at a college with much lower fees, it won't make any difference. When you apply for a job, there are two steps to getting your resume selected: one is knowing someone in the company, and the next is having the required skills. If you have no network or connections, you'll have to put in the same amount of effort whether you're from Melbourne University or any other college.

Top 1% young university of the world.
Tips: Students will have the chance to connect with some of the brightest minds in the industry, creating an environment that's both inspiring and intellectually stimulating. Being surrounded by such talent allows you to learn from their experiences, gain new perspectives, and exchange ideas that can shape your career. The Geelong campus is situated in a beautiful regional area, offering a relaxed and scenic environment that's ideal for studying and unwinding. If you're looking for a balance between campus life and the city experience, Geelong provides excellent value for money compared to city campuses. While you get to enjoy the lower cost of living and close-knit community atmosphere, Melbourne is just a short commute away, giving you easy access to all the cultural and social perks of city life when you want it. This setup offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful, affordable study environment with a vibrant city scene within reach.
Likes (Public transportation): The Geelong campus is highly accessible, making it an affordable option, especially for students working part-time. With essential facilities and popular spots within a convenient 10-20 minute walking distance, you can easily get around without needing a car. Additionally, the university has a well-managed bus station on campus, providing reliable public transport options to make computing even easier and more budget-friendly. This setup not only helps students save on transportation costs but also offers flexibility for those balancing studies and part-time work.

Deakin University has many opportunities and extensive student union programmes.
Tips: Deakin provides the Vice-Chancellor 100% meritorious scholarship which is a must-try for all those who want to study based on scholarship. Also, Deakin has multicultural aspects of education. So you will feel yourself as warm as in your home. Deakin Talent which is a co-allied organisation within Deakin allows students to have personalised job coaching, internship search and resume training. Deakin Legal Advocacy services are designed to safeguard the rights of students and also to assist with legal concerns. We also have peer mentor services and wonderful study guides. The faculty are extremely accessible and always available to help you out, solve your queries and support you. They conduct lectures, seminars and practicals so that students can get the best angle of understanding and the most surreal view of learning. The activities and interactions done during the teaching period are another great bonus that is a stepping stone towards building work-ready skills.
Likes (Internships): Deakin has numerous opportunities and an extensive student union programme. This allows us as students to exercise our full potential. The campus has all the facilities for students to learn and grow. We also have cultural events as well as sportive activities.

Wonderful college environment and life changing experience.
Tips: Coming to Australia and doing everything on your own will teach you essential life skills that will mould you into a person of character. Doing part-time jobs while managing assignment deadlines will test your time- mangled skills. Cooking healthy foods and avoiding the temptation to get takeout requires great self-control. On top of everything, you won't have your parents to tell you what to do, so self-discipline is the only thing that will take you places. All in all, it was a life-changing experience, and you should enjoy every minute of it.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): I would definitely love to settle in Australia, and one key point to remember is that as long as you have a job related to your field, you will get PR 99% of the time. Some degrees provide you with the ability to find work quickly, while others do not. However, as long as you have a good understanding of your subjects and a good skill set, you will find jobs after some time, which will help lead to PR.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I would suggest that the best way to save money is to cook your own food. There are a lot of Indian restaurants in Melbourne, and you can find a lot of vegetarian options on campus. There is also a nice Italian restaurant around the corner, and Subway and Domino's give student discounts to Deakin students.
