Master of Project Management - Batch of 2025
4.3
Amazing experience, surrounded by great people coming from multi-cultural background.
Tips: My transition was initially very chaotic as I arrived a week late and missed orientation week, so I had to figure everything out myself. However, I received very good support from my university, where their student mentor team helped me settle down in Perth and on campus. Regarding scholarships, all international students receive a 25% scholarship on their first year's tuition fees at Curtin. Besides this scholarship, you can also check for need-based scholarships on the Curtin website. I am very well satisfied with my university and course, as there is more practical learning experience here than traditional pen-and-paper theory. The country has not disappointed me in any way, and I would highly recommend it to people who are willing to work hard.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in Perth is great because on Sundays you get free rides on buses, ferries and trains. Also, there are special CAT buses that run internally in the city, which are free even during weekdays. Most of the suburbs are well connected with the buses and trains, but after 6 pm, the frequency gets reduced. There's a helpful app for Perth's public transport in which you can put your stop number and get the details of the schedule of the Next bus or train, as well as how much it would cost. This makes it easier to plan your trips.
Dislikes (Internships): All the other universities in Australia don't have a placement system, like Indian colleges. There are career fairs in universities that are held, but most of them are mostly networking events and do not give you actual jobs. Especially if you are an international student, unless you have a Course Weighted Average of 80% and above or higher and have completed at least two years for a Bachelors's degree and one year for Master's. Your chances of getting an internship through a university are next to impossible.

Not worth the money, look out for better options.
Tips: Curtin University is quite easygoing, and they provide scholarships to every student. The food is good, but expensive. You get a variety of options, including eating food from back home. Personally, I would prefer cooking my own food, which would also be healthy for both my health and finances, but it can be time-consuming for us international students. Which is better, though, really comes down to your own preference. As far as satisfaction, I'm satisfied with Australia, but I wouldn't say that about the course itself. It's not worth the money. It makes getting permanent residency unlikely, and it doesn't support internships.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): You’re better off studying a diploma course than this master’s course because there’s a good chance that you won’t get permanent residency in Australia with this course. I’d suggest a diploma, which is more likely to lead to permanent residency in no time. That will not only save you lots of money, but it will also lead to a permanent residency opportunity, which will make your money go a lot further.

There are events on campus like mentorship programs, career fair and food festivals.
Tips: I have not experienced any cultural shift as I was not raised in India and I was raised abroad throughout my life. But, students may experience cultural shifts coming from India for sure. I'm currently not on any scholarships but I'm sure there are scholarships available. I'm very satisfied with my university experience and the country but I'm not really satisfied with the lecturers from the IT industry/computing department at this university. Although the cost of living is expensive, the quality of life is really great here and very comfortable. The infrastructure is great too and people are friendly here.
Likes (Student Life): I spend my day by walking up early and going to the gym, then going my classes, and then coming back and revising the notes from my classes, socializing with my friends. The lifestyle at university if great especially if you live on campus as everything would be nearby like for instances the gym, football fields, library, the bus stop etc. There are events that are organized on campus like mentorship programs, career fair, food festivals, hockey games, start of semester/end of semester parties and many more which are great opportunities to make new friends at the college. There are several student clubs and communities on campus. There are clubs related to what you study, religious clubs etc.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are not many Indian restaurants in Perth. So, you will have a hard time eating outside if you want Indian food. In the locality, there are fast food restaurants, sports bars, and other restaurants with prices between 20-50 Australian dollars. Food is pretty expensive in Australia. I prefer cooking myself but I normally eat outside as I'm not very good at cooking.

A transformative and enriching experience at Curtin University.
Tips: Students should know that it is important to take advantage of the support services available on campus like academic counselling, career services, and student clubs. I availed the academic merit scholarship that gave 25% off my first-year tuition fee, which can be availed during your admission if you are eligible. The eligibility criteria is to secure more marks than the admission requirement. I am pretty satisfied with my experience. The university focuses on practical learning along with theoretical knowledge, this is something that provides valuable skills to grades.

University of Queensland is great for people aiming to pursue research in there career.
Tips: The biggest cultural shift was the fact that people are more laid back and chill. I got an international high achievers scholarship for students with good academic records. It reduced my fees by about 10%. I'm very satisfied with the course since it's world-recognised and the university is ranked 1 in Australia in its field. Also, the research sector here is great.
Likes (Safety): Public transport is good and feels safe. People are nice, and I have never felt unsafe even when walking home late at night. I also work overnight shifts, so I often travel by car late at night, but I always feel safe. I don't have many bad experiences to recount.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are very few opportunities for new graduates in my field. Plus, there aren’t many companies in this city that even hire people with my background. It looks like the options I have are to be a research assistant, a quality assurance manager, or a research scientist. If I get hired, I could be making as little as 45,000 Australian dollars a year, or, if I’m lucky and experienced, as much as 91,000 Australian dollars a year.

The university of Queensland is very student-friendly and has lots of clubs and events.
Tips: The University of Queensland is mainly research-based, but it also teaches you to be industry-ready. There is a high achievers' scholarship available for Indian students, and a professional experience course that is basically an internship placement course that can really help you step into the industry. You should check to see if your course has it for better post-study placement options.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation is nearly free, which is the cheapest in Australia, but bus frequency and range are an issue. You might have to change multiple buses if you live in a cheaper location away from the city. I recommend staying near the campus, so you don’t miss out on campus activities.
Dislikes (Student Life): The campus is open 24 hours for students. We also have good libraries and tons of research materials. Also, the university is very beautiful. They have student activities, wellness sections, and free food. Multicultural events are organised, and there are over 200 clubs for students who enjoy different sports and ethnicities.

There are lots of events too, and they even celebrate Indian festivals.
Tips: I have had a great transition. I have become so self-independent. I try to do all my work by myself. I didn't experience a cultural shift as I found people like me. Their company never makes me feel like I am far away. I did not get any scholarship.
Likes (Student Life): I love spending time at the college; the campus is beautiful and the library is the best. There are lots of events too, and they even celebrate Indian festivals. I performed an Indian ghoomer, and I also volunteer. There are over 100 clubs there.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The restaurants around provide more Thai and Mexican food, with less Indian food to be found. Food costs at least $10. I prefer to cook my own food, as I love cooking, and I can get Indian groceries easily. It saves me money and gives me the taste of India, so I don't have to adjust to new cuisine.

An academically focused university with a fun campus life.
Tips: There are multiple scholarships that can best suit you if you are looking for one. Keep an eye out for the right one for you. The bit that was challenging was food. You get Indian options here, though not every place is as nice as home. You need to keep pace with it and make your own stuff. The university campus life is great. We have many activities and events on campus. We also have student bodies that look after those events.
Likes (Safety): UQ has a dedicated service for campus security that runs safety buses around the campus. They also offer a chauffeur in case you need someone to walk you to a place where the safety bus does not go. On-campus accommodation is fully secure, and so is the library.
Dislikes (Internships): The help available is limited to how the application goes, but it doesn't assist in securing one. My field of study is currently experiencing a setback, and is mostly selective hiring from the current employee network only. The number of graduates far exceeds the number of jobs.

UQ - a well rounded university with great faculty.
Tips: When you're transitioning from India's universities to Australia's, it takes time. Once you're settled in, though, it gets easy. You just get used to the things around you. Be smart. Be organised, have a rounded personality, and everything will be fine. For international students, you can use the IAS scholarships. The student fees are very expensive, but the quality of the education is great. The professors and the teaching staff are well-experienced, so they're really helpful. The assignments, while practically oriented, can be boring. The country and the universities have made me happy. Getting a part-time job will be tough initially, but networking is the key. It also helps to get to know more people. I took advantage of being in another country, and now I've mingled with people from all over the world who are in all kinds of courses. Don't stick to your friends from home or anyone who's Indian.

Great university to study in, good crowd too.
Tips: When you come to this university, be willing to do everything yourself. You'll be better off if you come here with no expectations, but you should know that if you put your mind to it, there's a lot you can accomplish. Also, prepare to move around if you are an international student. There are many student jobs, but don't expect to live luxuriously. Student accommodation is expensive, so you might consider moving to an inexpensive locale for six months before moving into the university.

Top class university with very good facilities and exposure.
Tips: You should be ready to embrace new cultures and eager to learn and meet new people. Networking is key, and you must put yourself out there and try to meet as many people as possible. The teachers will teach you via PPT, but it is up to the students to learn more by themselves.
Likes (Internships): There are many opportunities within the campus as well, but one needs to actively seek them. You will have to network and meet people via networking events organised by the university to be able to secure an internship that aligns with your professional goals.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transport is good. Buses are 50 cents only, and if you live near the university, you could probably walk or cycle. Living far without a car could be challenging, as it could mean more travel time and might add more to your academic workload.

Worth every penny you spend.
Tips: The university provides 10,000 dollar scholarships for high achievers, while you are selected by the university. There is not much cultural shift, it is homely and friendly. They have a lot of communities and societies where you can hang out with your community or multi-dimensional students. Just try to engage and interact more with your peers and faculty.
Likes (Safety): The university campus has high security rules and ensures the well-being of the students. The city, anyway, has a few limitations on how you behave; if you are sweet and lovely enough, the city treats you well.
Dislikes (Internships): The university does not provide students with an internship. It is completely up to the student to do networking and get the internship. I don't know much about other fields, but data Science doesn't provide any internships, they do offer a part-time job if you score a 7/7 GPA as a academic tutor.

Great transportation facilities and friendly people.
Tips: Please go through the course structure on the website and check whether what you want to learn is actually there. You will be able to find friends, do not worry about that, and the people here are nice, you will have fun. Sometimes it may feel lonely, but that's a challenge you have to get over. You can check for scholarships online or ask your counsellor as well. In general, I really like it here and hope to get a good job soon.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport system is very accessible in the city and is well-connected, efficient, and there is a variety of options to choose from as a mode of transport, including buses, trains, or ferries. In Brisbane, currently it is very cheap to travel because of the 50 cent rule, and now you can travel any distance in Brisbane for a very low price. Enjoy travelling without spending a lot each month.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is quite good and approachable. It is just that the way to contact them can be a hassle at times. For example, in India, you could just go and ask the professor your doubts or queries. Here, you have to inform via email, take permission and in general seems like a hassle. You also have to be careful with which TA is teaching you, as good ones will take you far with their guidance, but a not-so-good one can be a headache without clarity.

It is a mix of self learning and classroom learning.
Tips: Transition was quite smooth, and UQ was quite helpful in ensuring everything was briefed to us. I did not get any scholarship. A scholarship of 5000 AUD was automatically applied for all Indian students.
Likes (Safety): Everything is quite safe here, even at night. UQ ensures additional safety for students at night who stay on campus late. Public transport is functional late at night, around 12-1 AM, depending on what day of the week it is. People are generally friendly.
Dislikes (Internships): It can be difficult to find internships for students who don't have previous work experience. I think if you're actively trying to look, you should be able to find something, but it might take some time, as it could be challenging for foreign students in Australia to land a job.

Scientia ac Labore - The university truly lives by this motto.
Tips: I lived most of my life overseas, so it was a bit easier for me to fit into the crowd. The cultural shift was immense. There are so many new phrases and so many new habits that I had to get accustomed to, and it is better to learn this and fit in. But you have to remain original, as Aussies love it. Quite a complex balance. But you'll figure it out as you go, trust me. I did obtain a scholarship, as my university is partnered with my alma mater, and I had to request this separately and specifically after doing my independent research, so do your own independent research and be certain that there will be various scholarships that the university is happy to offer to the right candidate fitting all the criteria. The university has transformed my life in every aspect; it has broadened my perspective and provided me with a new perspective of life, of industry, and of academia, and it has been truly transformational. The course has been one of the best because this is what I wanted to do, and it had the exact balance of courses that will help me excel in my career. Since I have found my purpose, I can be confident when I see that the courses I learned have helped me in the right direction. There is more learning left. That is one of the main learnings that the university has provided me. I can't speak for Australia as a whole, but as for Brisbane, it's a beautiful, beautiful blossoming city nestled right in the centre of Eastern Australia, which makes it perfect: a tropical climate, not too cold, not too hot, beautiful people, easygoing, and there's not a lot of hassle and busters that you see in some of the major, well-known cities like Melbourne or Sydney.
Likes (Safety): The St. Lucia campus takes security very seriously. Imagine an emergency app or security dedicated to the office emergency point of call. Emergency vans are ready to evacuate you. Establish evacuation procedures that are brief for students well in advance, if they are working or if they are studying. Cameras throughout the campus are monitored by security officers 24/7, 365 days a year. That is some strong dedication. I have worked at the university as a staff member, and I know the amount of work and training that the university puts into ensuring that the students feel safe in the university. On the other hand, I have also felt some incidences of students not behaving right outside the campus, and that is beyond the control of the university; however, this is very rare and is very unfortunate when it happens, but Brisbane overall is a safe city within the city premises. Doesn't necessarily apply to the outskirts, where there isn't a lot of safety.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Asphalt companies offering sponsor visa work don't have too much of high hopes, but do come prepared and ready to take on a challenge, and you will certainly be rewarded with not only a job but also a transformational confidence and self-esteem in yourself. Furthermore, companies prefer hiring local citizens as it is easier for them to process the visa, and quicker hires can be done rather than extending the process, which hurts the company and the processes, and practically speaking, they put more money out of their pocket, which any company in this capitalistic and practical environment wouldn't want to do. With that said, I heard a lot of success stories through recruiters from Indian international students, and they eventually got their permanent residency as well. So don't lose hope, and there are more chances if you break into the market early on. So once you're here, keep chasing your internships and get higher quickly in the field of your work and build on your resume, and trust me, you are all set to succeed. A salary package of 75,000 certified Australian dollars is common. A grey job can even land you a six-figure salary as an entry-level package.

Not the best place to study and gain knowledge but a good place to gain experience.
Tips: I have availed the UQ High Achievers’ award, where I have a 20% academic scholarship. However, there has been a massive cultural shift and a rather immense personality shift. The way we look at life changes rapidly, and yeah, I'm not hating this experience, it’s alright.
Likes (Public transportation): Transportation is good if you use public transport, since Brisbane has great rates, it's 50-cents flat charge for any travel within Brisbane. However, on-campus parking is expensive. Travel within the city is okay, and the campus has good last-mile connectivity.
Dislikes (Value for money): The courses are underwhelming at this college. They don't have the best structure, the materials aren't updated regularly, and the lectures aren't very good. The professors can be difficult to work with. They will answer the required questions, but they can also be mean about it. The workshops and tutorials don't work very well.

Tips: There are very few scholarships available for Indian students at UQ, but you will receive an email during the application process, so there is no separate application needed. I faced hardships with the transition from the Indian education system to the Australian education system. It's so much different. I suggest that you attend all the induction sessions at the beginning. They share a lot of information about how to plan and study, which is very helpful and important. Overall, I am satisfied with my studies at UQ.
Likes (Value for money): At UQ, you get what you pay for; the high tuition makes sense with the quality of teaching staff and education you receive on campus. The facilities on campus also make the school worthwhile. However, if you only want a degree, it's not a good choice because the teachers are very focused on interaction and student performance, which may not be good for everyone.
Dislikes (Part time work): Getting a part-time job is pretty convenient if you work off campus, but it may take some time. You'll have to apply for a lot of different jobs to get hired, and you may experience rejections. It's hard to find on-campus jobs because they want employees with experience. If you work off campus, your salary will be around 32 dollars an hour.

Everyone is really helpful. One thing different from India is that things here are really systemic, so one might not feel more connected with the faculty. Meeting the faculty member requires taking an appointment in advance here. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Internships): The university provides proper guidance for internships, but it's a bit competitive. You need to perform well in one or the other criteria to get an internship. The issue is not getting paid internships because of a visa limitation on working hours, so finding the right internship becomes a bit difficult.

Highly experienced faculty and a vibrant student life.
Tips: I wish I knew how independent learning is key here. At UQ, my day includes lectures, study sessions, and time with friends on campus. The campus is huge and I love the vibrant student life, events like career fair and festivals, with amazing study spots and 200+ clubs to explore. There's great career support, industry connections and events, so networking helps a lot. Getting involved early makes UQ even better. There is a dedicated team that assists with resume building, job and internship applications. They also provide support by responding to companies when we use their email as a reference. There are internships available in my field. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my course, university and the country.

The faculty is talented, understanding and helps us to perform academically good.
Tips: There is a huge cultural shift and academic difference. Students must take the advice of professors and learning advisors, and put in an adequate amount of time for assignments and exams to get through otherwise it is very difficult to score good marks. Scholarships depend on the country you are applying from and which course you are applying to. Check out the scholarship details on the UQ scholarships page to get advice on scholarships for specific courses. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the courses because it provides me the opportunity to learn about different things and avail practical opportunities to learn rather than learning by written memorization.

Great student life, amazing quality of faculty and convenient transportation facilities.
Tips: Some key points are: 1. Look for accommodation outside campus but not far. 2. Be prepared to miss Indian food until you can cook it well. 3. Be ready to speak up in group discussions and classes. 4. Always have a keen eye for safety. Remember, being far from home it is in your hands to stay safe. 5. Enjoy your time at the university. Australian universities are hill, laid back and enjoyable.

Overall good student experience and good quality of life.
Tips: For new students, UQ offers lots of interesting events to feel involved in; my advice will be to attend those and make connections. Of course, there will be cultural shifts in society which you can observe after coming here and adapting to those will be beneficial. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with my University life, and my sustainable energy course also enjoying by going to lots of travel places in Queensland.
Likes (Safety): UQ has its own safe zone app for the security of the UQ community. Brisbane is quite welcoming for new students and filled with lovely people but not to say, everyone should be aware of their own safety as in rare cases there can be some incidents, especially at night.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Australian Immigration policy changes every time and it's a little hard to get a permanent settlement as long as you are not on the priority list. Given a chance, I would like to spend some time in Australia not necessarily looking for the parmanent immigration.
