I'm doing engineering at ANU. We have a relatively small number of students compared to UNSW and Melbourne (about 250 this year, mostly locals) but I'm pretty sure our program is just as good! Engineering at ANU is actually a systems engineering degree - you get to major in one or two areas that you're interested in but you also take courses outside that area. I think it's great.
We also have a engineering reseach and development scholars program (for people with UAI 98++) in which you get to conduct your own research in a field that interests you with the guidance of a mentor (one of the lecturers).
Oh and our fees is significantly less than that of UNSW and Melb Uni
The downside to coming here would be that there's nothing much to do in Canberra. Haha. But hey, ur here to study so I guess that's actually a good thing. And Sydney's only 3 hours away if u ever need your big city fix

Melbourne is no 1 place for Malaysian student and Sydney is no 2. And compare with universities in Sydney, UNSW has the most student. Huhu.

Anyways, referring to a forumer who still contemplating on pursuing engineering in ANU, if you have the means go for it. How much loan will you take? 100% for 4 years? If that is so, I think its better for you to study in Malaysia instead. Unless you plan to work in overseas country. If you're going to go back to Malaysia to work, just forget it. It does not worth it all.

How about you contact JPA and try to ask for a scholarship from them? Btw if you could get a job in AUS i don't think you need 5 years to pay it back. The average salary for fresh engineer graduates is around 60k. Maybe you need 3 years to pay it back? However if you come back to Malaysia, it will be forever to pay it back.

u wont regret if u use your next 5 years properly in australia.. if u scerw things up, then u might regret a little bit.... working in australia, comparing to msia is way way way better.. less stress, higher income, and employers appreciate their staffs.. well, most of them.. haha.. bad luck if ur employer is a shitty one..

From what I understand, you're trying to get into Engineering in ANU. What field of Engineering are you thinking of pursuing, and what are you currently doing now that will give you "2 years' credit"?

Studying oversea is an excellent and great exposure for u. Furthermore,  u can gain some experience that cant other people get by studying in our own country. As long as u want to study, u can get and success in your study i think. Its not to difficult here. As long as u come to class and tutes.. sure can pass. (i like to skip my lecture  - My bad) hahaha
