@ryanyu123, by referring to SAM/AUSMAT specifically, are you after UK or Aus uni?

i think we should let him explain his thoughts first, ay?

Possible, though it's getting tougher. Depends on what you study and what you occupation you can nominate upon completion of your study. Any idea which field of study you're interested in? Engineering? Accounting? Finance? Arts?

As of now, professional accountants (and graduates possessing such qualifications) can apply for PR. Otherwise you will need to apply for TR, work in a related field (accounting in this case) for at least 1 yr before you are considered for the grant of a PR.

In other words, you need to look out for Accounting courses with professional accreditation, not just ordinary BCom(Acctg). Not many uni offer them, so be very careful when you do your research.

Not too early at all for you to think about uni courses. In fact, you're doing a good job by forward planning your career and then work backwards to determine what you need to do to get you there in 10/20 yrs. Keep it up and good luck!

As for scholarships, I don't think TER 90 is good enough. But then again, you might be underestimating yourself at this point. My advice is, do your homework, find out who's offering what, understand your options, and work on them. It sounds tedious, but whatever it is, it will be rewarding at the end of the day.

Yes. ACCA and CPA = professional accreditation. CPA seems more common to me though. Any members / accountants here?

Living cost is a very sticky issue. It depends very much on your lifestyle at that point of your life. RM100K per year is a good enough estimate, I reckon. Tuition fee is slightly over A$20K per year, so you can do the maths there.

For PR applications, (Hons) or not, it doesn't really matter. You need to pass the points test regardless.

Monash should have a handful of scholarships you can apply for.
