Haha really? There's like 3 commonwealth bank with deposit machines in the city alone.
And at least 1 in every suburb.

But I get paid into my bank account anyways so I don't really need to deposit. I used to when I was working for cash on hand jobs.

I'm sure u can. I've seen people using the pin in Malaysia. Well u should probably contact the bank and see what they can do for you.

But do note that the exchange rate are pretty darn high if you are using oversea's cc in Australia because the forex are usually higher... So i would suggest you to get a local debit card...

Cheers!

if your source of funds is msia, there is no significant difference between using msian cc, and converting myr to aud, deposit in account there and then use a cc from oz......

hi ! may i know any good universities in melbourne where i can do economics and finance ? particularly smth that has to do with stock trading/exchange industry .

University of melbourne.

Hi all! I have received an offer from University of Queensland in Master of Commerce (1.5years), however, I am also interested in Master of Risk Management (1 year) from UNSW because this course is more related to my degree.

Anyone here can give me some advise in this two course?

Thanks.

think on their relevancy to your future targets. It doesn't matter if the course is relevant to your previous qualification if you don't want to do it or it doesn't help you achieve your future goals.

Re MickeyKumiko: also consider the other factors, such as cost of living vis-a-vis Brisbane vs Sydney, the frequency of flights, your social support etc when making the decision.

Without further background on your circumstances, it is hard to give a complete feedback.

hey guys! UWA student reporting in... previously from UNSW! Need some help on finding an accommodation around Perth. I have look through gumtree and couldnt get a chance to find one. Any other recommendation? Thanks!!

Hi. Try UWA housing database for off-accommodation, even if you are desperate to look for a temporary accommodation.

Regarding jobs, I've worked with ANU before, and it was great! I was not treated as a migrant, people were friendly, and I feel appreciated for my knowledge and skills.

Wished I had not returned to Malaysia though.

You could do any one of Economics, Finance, or Commerce or a permutation of those. That's the first step towards a career in capital markets / securities trading or research. Not sure why you would single out Melbourne (in which case go for the University of Melbourne like someone else suggested), as you could do the same in Sydney or Canberra.

hey guys, need some advice bout buying a car here in australia.

Buying a car in Australia?

would appreciate it if someone could answer my questions in that thread. thanks!

Hi, thanks for both of your comments. Since at UQ is 1 and half year, and at UNSW is 1 year course, and living cost at Sydney is higher than Brisbane, so I assume I will spend the same amount of money regardless of any of this 2 uni that i choose.

My degree is in Applied Mathematics, and i am working for almost a year now. Actually I am planning to go on next Feb, however I still cannot decide whether want to go oversea or study at local, so I am thinking to postpone it until next July, and at that time I will have 2 years working exp.

What i concern now is the quality of the both uni, anyone can give some comment about UNSW and roughly how much is the living cost at Sydney? and is there any different in Feb intake and July intake, for example if I go on July intake, i will have 3 months holiday while for Feb intake I can finish my course earlier?... Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!

Does UNSW have a July intake for their Master of Risk Management? I can't find any documentation on this.

As a general rule, there is no difference in the study time between the Feb and July intake. With a 1 year program, go in during Feb and be back in Malaysia by Christmas. Go in during July and have your graduation in the winter of the following year. You don't get any more (or less) holidays between the different intakes while you're as a student.

The admission rules are based only on the standards of individual institutes. Hence variations will be found in the rules of from one institute to another institute. . .

depends on what uni you go to. generally, it's around 2x(or more) the normal tuition fees of other courses.

Which uni is good, and what is the roughly estimation of the fees? Thanks in advance

that is not the question you need to ask..........the real question is, will they accept me?.......

for medicine, you don't choose the uni.....they choose you........

as for fees, they are all on their respective websites......if you need to be spoon fed that, you are definitely NOT doctor material.....
