QUOTE(jyhy @ Sep 14 2010, 05:25 PM) what's the few differences between studying in UK and AUstralia? Different Continents,time zone,distance,currency etc. =P The education system differs as well. Do a bit of googleing and you shall see there's a difference between their systems. It's entirely up to one's preferences where to go. This post has been edited by Hikari0307: Sep 14 2010, 07:11 PM |

QUOTE(Josep86 @ Sep 14 2010, 07:42 PM) Hello guys, That is not something that can be answered with a simple yes or no. You have to take into account stuff like your financial status,your future plans,compared to what among other stuff. Without knowing these you could even say going to study in Harvard,MIT,Stanford etc. as a waste of money =Pwhy some people said studying in aus is just wasting of money? is it true? it makes me change my mind to further my study in aus... |

QUOTE(JasonMania @ Sep 30 2010, 12:34 PM) Speaking of education agents and IDP, IDP told me to pay them lol what do you mean by you pay to IDP? What did they say to you specifically? ,my university fees as well as the OSHC fees in order to accept my offer. Is it good idea to do that (it is a lot of money to be given to an agent  )? I mean, will I run into problems with the university later on if I pay my tuition fees at IDP? Usually to accept your offer indeed you would need to pay some tuition fees deposit (usually your first sem or a part of it) and OSHC though this payment is not made payable to the agent though they will help forward it to the University. Usually IDP will ask you to buy a bank-draft payable to the University along with your acceptance form or fill in your credit card details on the acceptance form and they will forward that to the University on your behalf.

QUOTE(Jumbodumbo @ Oct 5 2010, 11:35 PM) im new here and would like to ask if there are any colleges in australia that provide a levels course? preferably in melbourne. lol why do you want to go and do A-Levels in Aussie? Sounds weird and seems to be a waste of money well at least in my opinion don't know about you.What and where do you plan to study and do your degree in later? Won't it be better to do a Foundation maybe or year 12 etc. QUOTE(nhb555 @ Oct 5 2010, 11:51 PM) Going melbourne as well ? me too ! I don't think Taylors provide A-Levels. Taylors offer A level haha.. but i mostly going trinity for foundationAs I can see from their website they offer year 10 to 12,Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY),Taylors Auckland Foundation Year (TAFY),The University of Sydney Foundation Program (USFP),The University of Western Australia Foundation Program (UWAFP),UniLink Diploma programs and some English courses. http://www.taylorscollege.edu.au/courses.aspx While their Melbourne campus only offers year 10,11,12 and Monash University Foundation Year http://www.taylorscollege.edu.au/locations/melb_courses.aspx |

QUOTE(dealuvsfaiz @ Nov 1 2010, 11:41 PM) hi..i just finished my second year bachelor in accountancy in a local university..i was offered by my college to continue my studies in Australia..one of the universities in the option is Canberra Uni..i was informed that there is degree with n without hons..may i know what is the difference? hum what other options do you have? I'd go for unis in the Go8 or the ATN rather than university of Canberra. Generally speaking. Australian Universities does not award Honours for Degree programmes that are three year in length. Automatic Honours like the UK only comes to those programmes that are 4 years or more like BEng,BPharm,LLB etc. For a three year course like accounting, after completing your Degree you would be awarded a normal Pass Bachelor Degree no matter how good or bad your results were. If you do good enough, you will be able to undergo an extra year doing some research in order to get Honours for your Degree making the length 4 years. Admission into these honours year is usually only on the basis of invitation from the University and you can't apply for it. Even with just a Pass Degree without Honours from Aussie it won't affect you wanting to find a job in the future. Most people from the HR departments of good companies understand the difference between non-honours degree in Aussie and other places so it would be the same to come in with a first-class honours degree from the UK with a High Distinction average from an Aussie Pass Degree. |

QUOTE(dealuvsfaiz @ Nov 2 2010, 12:10 AM) well I'm not too sure what are the other options because i have not discussed with them in depth regarding this matter..does it effect anything if the uni is not in the Go8/ATN? well it depends though on several factors. For me, since I'm going overseas to study, I want to at least study in Universities that are ranked higher than our research universities lol =Poh yeah on another note. you guys have any idea approximately how much does it cost for the medical examination for the visa? I can't seem to find info on it lol ^^" This post has been edited by Hikari0307: Nov 2 2010, 11:54 PM |

QUOTE(daccorn @ Nov 3 2010, 04:50 AM) that's not exactly hard to achieve lol yeah I know, getting into a Go8 uni is not that hard that's why ahaha I might as well go to one since gonna spend so much money even on scholarships LOL =DQUOTE(Tony C @ Nov 3 2010, 02:52 AM) Shouldn't cost you more than RM200 for both health check and xray. QUOTE(haya @ Nov 3 2010, 07:18 AM) Costs are determined by the individual medical practitioners where you have your checkup. As member Tony C said, shouldn't be more than RM200. A list of where you can have your checkup can be found on Immigration's website. Oh thanks ^^ yeah I already checked the list of panel doctors on the immigration website before this, was just wondering on the cost before I lodge my visa application next week ^^ Thanks anyway. |

QUOTE(LightningFist @ Nov 4 2010, 12:35 AM) Hikari what do you mean by "Automatic Honours like the UK only comes to those programmes that are 4 years or more like BEng,BPharm,LLB etc." ? Yes I'm saying BEng, BPharm,LLB,MBBS etc. which is 4 years or longer in Aussie comes with Honours as long as you meet the required grades just like most programmes in the UK. No extra Honours year required but 3 year programmes in Aussie like Business,Science,Mass Comm,Computing,IT etc. which are 3 years in length even if you got perfect scores in everything you don't get an Honours Degree, you just get a normal Pass Degree, you will need to undertake an extra Honours year making the duration of the Degree to 4 years and admission to this Honours year is mostly only by invitation by the University.Are you saying that, in Australia, degrees such as BEng, BPharm, LLB etc are 4 years in length, and come with Honours? As far as I know, in Britain, BEng, BPharm (or BSc Pharmacy), and LLB are 3 years in length, and are all awarded with Honours if Honours standards are achieved. MEng is 4 years. MSc Pharmacy would be 4 years. But I'm not sure what you meant. as far as Professional Boards are concerned an Aussie BEng are equivalent to UK MEng,Aussie BPharm to UK MPharm etc. |

QUOTE(zXJaMeSXz @ Nov 25 2010, 08:06 PM) Hey guys... you plan to credit transfer to other unis or stay with UniSA?I'm currently studying Business Foundation in Taylor's College and I'm currently in Australia visiting the Universities... I plan to study in Australia for 2 years after the first year of my degree program.. The question is : Is there any difference between studying in Australia and local? Is it just to gain experience? cause the cert is the same for both Aus and local.. Well pretty much the difference will be the exposure you can get in Aussie. Then the fees are of course a few times more than if your stay in Taylor's University. If you go over to Aussie you will also have more choices for electives and majors while if you stay in TU you can only take electives from other business and mass comm UniSA programmes. |

QUOTE(zXJaMeSXz @ Nov 25 2010, 10:32 PM) 1st year in UniSA is compulsory right? you could use to TBF to apply directly if you would like. Most unis from the Group of 8 and ATN does accept TBF. The only one among them that I'm aware of that doesn't accept TBF is UTS. about the next 2 years I'm not sure about it yet... Currently in Adelaide checking out UniSA and will be going to Perth next week to check out UWA... If you want to spend one year in Taylor's University first then go ahead. Through the UniSA programme they have articulation agreements to transfer to UTS,RMIT,UQ and UWA and you can also still do credit transfers to other universities. Some have credit transfered to Monash,Adelaide,Melbourne etc. with no problem though sometimes they have to repeat one or two units that didn't get exempted. |

QUOTE(zXJaMeSXz @ Nov 25 2010, 11:25 PM) Oh ok... go read on credit transferring in the Universities websites.If I do my first year in Taylor's University then transfer to lets sat UWA... What's the procedure? Send them my result and request for acceptance? I'm currently choosing between UniSA, UWA and RMIT... I'm choosing the U depending on the environment as the education system are most likely to be the same (correct me if I'm wrong).. Basically you send in an application form with your SPM,TBF,(IELTS if necessary) and also first year results. You may also be asked to submit a copy of the syllabus and course structure for credit assessments. |

QUOTE(AtresiaAni @ Dec 12 2010, 08:47 AM) Hi guys! Need some urgent help regarding medical check up for visa application to Australia. Can i know which clinic or lab is suitable for the medical check up and it is near Subang Jaya area? What kind of test/examinations do i need? And do i have to bring any form there? how do you know your place is confirmed if you don't have an offer letter?My current situation is that i have not gotten any offer letter from my University (UWA) yet although my place is already confirmed there. So, i can't start any visa application yet and my flight is already booked on the 9th Jan. So, i figured i can do this medical check up now, so that i will have my visa by then, just to be safe. I wont be around Malaysia tomorrow onwards, yea, so it's kind of urgent. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance. Anyway since you don't have an offer letter I will also assume that you don't have an eCoE. Without it you can not lodge a visa application and without lodging a visa application first you can not do a medical examination for an Australian visa. When you are applying for visa you will be able to see a list of places you can perform the checks and x-ray at. Choose from the panel clinics there and go. Life Care Diagnostics in MCIS Zurich near Hilton there is a good place. You can fill in answers online before you go for the check up and they will also submit results to immigration online shortening the processing time. You have to apply for visa first and only then go for medical examination because you need your referral letter with the application's transaction number so the clinic can send your medical report to immigration. You CAN NOT do the medical examination for visa before lodging a visa application. |

QUOTE(AtresiaAni @ Dec 12 2010, 09:56 AM) My place is already confirmed as long i've passed my finals, in which i had. Apparently, there is a delay of some sorts between my university and UWA, so i have not gotten the offer letter yet. Usually a blood test is not needed unless in certain circumstances where you probably have went to same dangerous level countries recently or got certain illness.I see, so, i cant do the checkup without the letter? Cause i was thinking of at least doing the blood test first, cause i know this will take days to process, then i can pass the blood report to the panel doctor for reviewing, is this possible? Or must i definitely go to the panel doctors for the full medical examination, blood test and X-rays? Btw, thanks for replying. Really appreciate it. Just a physical examination, blood pressure, urine test and x-rays and this just require a few hours of your time. The offer letter is not important. What immigrations want is the electronic confirmation of enrollment (eCoE) and you only get that after you get your offer letter, returned a signed response of offer to the university and have payed the deposit of tuition fees to the uni. After you do those stuff the university will usually send an acceptance letter and the eCoE within a week or so. Anything pertaining to the Medical examination for an Australian Visa MUST be done at an Australian immigration panel clinic. |
