I just want to ask opinion on UOW (NSW) and UQ (Queensland). I am planning to do my master next year. I have applied to many unis in Aussie. This is the two offers that I am interested. My first choice is UQ but the course is 1and half year (parents can only afford 1 year) but the counsellor ask to apply for scholarships. Can I know what is my chances of getting it. Another thing is that, is UQ good for food studies.
UOW i also applied for a food course, I would like to know if the health and behaviour science faculty is good. How is campus life there and any recemondation on accomodations.

Thanks

I'm not in UQ, but I'm in Brisbane, and have close links with UQ. You might like to PM Quacksilver. He will have more "inside info" of UQ.

Generally however, scholarships for international students are hard to get and few and far in between. You might like to look at UQ's scholarship website: http://www.uq.edu.au/study/scholarships/in...57498&pid=56828 and see what is on offer. Mind you, it is not easy to get one. While I can't say for post-grad and UQ, here undergrad Computer Science requires you to have the equalvent of a GPA of 6 minimum (out of 7) in your foundation, or when you're in a GPA of at least 6.5 to be even considered for a partial scholarship and/or bursaries.

Overall, UQ is a very good university. Personally, I would take UQ over UOW, but thats just me. Dont quote me on that!

I would also prefer UQ but it is 1 and half years so parents canno afford. So I will go for UOW if I cannot get he scholarships from UQ. I know it is difficult for inernaional students to get scholarships so my chance of geting it is very slim. I am just hoping only. Finger cross thumbup.gif
