If you had to choose Aussie, go for UNSW. There's only a handful of good unis in Aussie.
UNSW or UWA?

QUOTE(Mysterious Dr X @ Feb 24 2011, 10:21 PM) I have been based in both WA and Sydney, I'll tell you that if you're going for cost-efficiency, WA is waaaaaaayyyyy cheaper than Sydney. UTAS only if you're doing law, but it's quiet there. Fewer asians or not, doesn't matter. Your application for PRship is dependant on your course and what not, nothing to do with population. I've calculated, during my time in UNSW, my expenses were 1.5 times of that in WA, and i was staying at some broken down shitty suburb area and I stayed in a closet (literally. my room was converted from a closet). In WA, i have a decent room. Food and groceries also much much cheaper. The only thing UNSW has over UWA is probably UNSW's night life is waaay better. Education recognition wise, both are about the same. Doesn't really matter where you get your degree from these days anyway.  QUOTE(Visionary @ Feb 24 2011, 10:26 PM) Tasmania is famous for nothing,well maybe for their I don't know ... marine sciences? You should totally go for UWA rather than UNSW,Perth is cheaper plus I guess both the Uni's are on par with each other I love you guys in a non-homo way.Gonna meet up with UNSW and UWA representatives soon. 1st and 3rd of march in ss15. |

Can't disagree with that. Law programmes wise, UK is still superior to that of Aussie. In fact, no one really goes to Aussie to study law. You're much better off doing an external programme back home or even local U (if you can get in la). |

Aussie is fine for sciences,it's just that UK is supposedly cheaper than Aussie right now,as long as you study/stay somewhere OUT OF LONDON,it'll be fine. And there are a handful of good Universities out of London. The top UK universities by subject <---- Search for the list of top Universities in UK by subject,as for Mechanical Engineering,the top 10 Universities are all outside of London if I'm not mistaken besides Imperial College. I'm definitely out that league. What's wrong with em aussies? |

Uk 3 years engineering degree not recognized by BEM and IEM if you're thinking of coming back. You'd need to get a master degree of another year on top of the 3 years degree if you want to get recognized.

QUOTE(papamia @ Feb 24 2011, 08:21 PM) Now if you finished studying in UK, you have to fly back to your country. That's the policy, no chance of getting a job liao Unless you're doing some artsy degree like English Literature, you're pretty much guaranteed a two-year visa after graduation. If you get a job within two years you can get your employers to sponsor long-term visas.QUOTE(papamia @ Feb 24 2011, 10:44 PM) I'm not that good. Sheffield only allows 1+3 and you gotta have some amazing results like cgpa 3.7 ang above to get over there. It's quite hard to be out of the league of most UK universities. You pay 3 to 4 times the local students and they like that money. They'll bend requirements to accept you and they trust that Asians will work their asses off to make up the difference.I'm definitely out that league. |
