Started Jan 2, 2011 0 Replies

Post study work visa for international students is probably the best way to overcome the skills crises and ensuring the mist deserving  graduates stay back in the community.

Why should you consider Australia as a study destination?

Posted on May 20, 2011 at 4:23am 2 Comments

Hello all prospective students,

 

I'm sure you've done your research on the most appropriate study destination for you. USA, UK, Europe are all good destinations; however, here are some reasons you should consider Australia;

1. Quality public institutions - All universities and TAFE's are fully government funded. Being government funded means they are expected to operate at a very high standard as they are accountable to the Australian tax payers. 

 

2.…

Thank you sir for your valuable advice, however I already have an offer letter from Swinburne in Master of Business Management (Supply Chain Management), fee is an important concern.

I am not at all willing to pursuit anything further in Hospitality sector and want to do a course that make helps me to become global i.e ,  I must not be restricted to hospitality and hotels however now I am stuck with the new rules which mentions that at least two years of education is required for PSW permit.

Secondly now at this point of time I am planning to switch my university where I have options like RMIT(it is costly for me and specializes in logistics), University of South Australia (it is not in Melbourne and specializes in logistics), I am confused what to do
  1. Stay with Swinburne because I have some support in Melbourne
  2. Leave Swinburne because few agent says it is not good and also that my course is integrated 
  3. Move to South Australia 
  4. Go RMIT because it is good and is in Melbourne but costly
  5. I still can not think of paying fee of 30000 AUD or more
  6. And lastly either drop my plan or switch my course(but which course?)

I will be glad if you could help me out

Thanks for your suggestion, Dipu. Yeah, from my research here too, it sounds like MBA is an option I should consider. But, I heard there are no jobs in Australia for MBAs and they are returning home with a big loan.

Hospital Administration/Health Services - heard that jobs are not many in Australia. It seems the US is a good place for the same. The educational consultants here (Princeton) seem to be advising against Australia due to the racism issue.

So, I'm in two minds deciding Aus Vs USA. Too many opinions and they're all varied!

Hello Dipu,

Thank you very much for your reply. Your plan does sound good.

I'm currently focussing only on the Hospital Management masters' program. (Dentistry may be yes, may be no - but to be decided after 2 years. Chances are high that I may not continue in Dentistry). So, I browsed through the universities suggested by you.

Most of the universities required relevant work experience for Hospital Management. I have been practicing as a dentist for 1.5 years in a private clinic/polyclinic in Bangalore. I'm not sure if this will be considered as relevant work experience.

Further, are you aware if Hospital Management jobs are available in the Australian market. I read up some research reports on the economy of Australia & health care industry. It seemed ok but not very great as the health care market was growing only at 5-6% per annum.

Your suggestions have been valuable! Request your inputs further!

Regards,
Shilpa

Hi, thanks for your reply.

a. I'm looking at Hospital Management/Health Management masters (or even Molecular Biology Masters).
b. Dentistry : I'm interested in it. But, I hear that they dont recognize the Indian BDS degree and am not sure what is the procedure as well. Is there an equivalent of NBDE(like in the US?). Heard its very tough in Australia for dentists.Please let me know if this is wrong?

Regards,
Shilpa
