Haha, it seems like there are some people here who would like to study engineering and were all discussing about the ranking of U in Australia, well to me i think which U rank higher doesnt really mean anything unless you are wanted. No point studying in the best U in aussie and come out with no jobs rite? Engineers in Perth are really different, as there is a high demand for it. I have many friends in Perth working as engineers, and all of them agree that this is the place where u can get highly paid as an engineer.... i am not sure about how much engineers get paid else where but the amount here is quite good.... wink.gif

Now the engineer's pay in Perth is really good due to the mining boom. What happens when the mining boom cease? Would the engineer suddenly get less pay?

Hmm.... i think i will be doing civil, so i think it will be quite safe haha! cheers! icon_idea.gif

I don't know what is the value of E65 but just get the 6288, it's free on the 29cap, or the k610.

Paying that extra monies per month for 2 years not worth it IMO.

Haha, i couldn't agree more! icon_rolleyes.gif

Added on May 1, 2007, 6:27 pmi heard can buy hp with plans...is tat true? is tat cheaper compare to malaysia?

Yeap. But u will have to sign a 24months contract with them with a minimum usage every month. For example, on a 29cap plan, you will have to pay a minimum of 20-29 a month. Well i think it malaysia is much cheaper. Because you are not tied down to 1 phone for 2 years.

i'm worried i cant get the score to get in...!hehe...

Haha, i didnt do that good. mine was only slightly above 90... For my year, any1 with TER above 88 can enter for engineering in uwa. So i am not sure about yours. Hope that you can make it! icon_rolleyes.gif

limeuu the expenses are not that horrifying as u think. in total of fees i calculated is around half a million malaysian ringgit, not including expenses that is and yes, its hard to get in, i din say its a direct entry xD thats why i'm going to work my head off next yr. try my best to get into monash, I dun wan to waste 3 yrs in biomedic in melb U, stupid melb U change plans to get more money.@@
*
haha... 0.5m for the course fees + your living expeneses for like 4++ years rite? so i think that will sum up to almost 0.9m....

I am pretty sure that is how much the total will cost as i have friends studying doctor in aussie, and i am myself studying in australia as well....
Living expenses here is really a killer!

but no worries... if you are hardworking enough you can get a part time job here and the pay here is really good!
and make sure you pass your course!!!! haha ALL the best and enjoy!

Erm.. But I heard UWA is more expensive that other Universities in OZ.. And the cost of living over there is quite high too.. How did u get to join there? A Levels? STPM? Foundation? U went there with a scholarship?  icon_rolleyes.gif

In my opinion, i think UWA is one of the most affordable UNI that has been recognize as the group of 8... and living expenses in Perth is far more cheaper than in big cities such as Sydney and Melbourne.

As for uni in australia, you can actually do A lvl, or SAM (south australian matriculatiaon) which is available in taylors college... get an above average score and they should accept you. ( depending on the course you want to do ).

I am a SAM student, and i think its really good in assisting you to any uni in australia because it is just a 1 year course and it is recognize throughout australia!
