- They are quite convenient and they are always considerate if we following the rules and try to help us as much as they can. Our teachers are amazing and their teaching style is very good and satisfying, other than that they have health and wellbeing care for students so they provide free therapies with professional therapists for students. They also help us with our assignments and study management.
- Dislikes:
- Our assignments due are always back to back so it is quite hard to complete them on time. We have to always start from really before and hard to manage sometimes to complete while working and studying at the same time. They do provide us extensions but we also have to provide a lot of evidences for that to get an extension.
Overview:
My course is quite demanding in Australia and have great opportunities to look forward to after I graduate. I chose my university because they were providing the highest percentage of scholarships than any universities in Melbourne at that time. The place is quite convenient through public transport and near city. They have also a lot of opportunities for industry experiences and clubs to join. Other than studying, my university has fun and lovely lifestyle. It is quite great overall. Although, we do not get paid for our placements but we can count it as a work experience and add on our CV. We have hybrid classes system but I prefer more face to face classes. We have 7 weeks of classes then we go to placements and come to university for just last two weeks for face to face classes. I do not like that. Other than that, their facilities are quite great and they have lots of events and festivals to join in and make lots of friends. I have quite a good experience so far with study and making friends and also getting help for jobs.
Scholarship:
I got the Student Excellence Scholarship because my double GPA is 5 and the percentage is 75% and I am carrying out that since beginning of my course. They had some requirements such as I have to maintain 70% overall result every semester. The process was simple. In my university, whoever applies they are already being considered for that specific scholarship without making another application.
