I got a 25% Tuition fee scholarship to study master of professional Engineering - Cyber Security, at the university of technology Sydney. I received both the scholarship and admission offer some days ago. I have been given till November 3oth 2019 to make a deposit of $AUD 14,820 and that the 25% will be paid into my student account after census date.
My agent was very nice in the pursuit of my admission. Now, I don't know how to raise this money. Although I have access to loan from my workplace with minimum interest rate taking upfront. I also have a brother in Sydney who is willing to accommodate me for the entire study period.
Please my question is: "is it possible to work while studying to be able to pay school fees?" I learnt they only allowed master's students (coursework) 20hrs per fortnight.
What's your advice for me my friends. Please I need your candid advice on how to go. Thanks�
I'm really sorry to say this; that's the law, it will always win. I will suggest you access the loan option. Good Luck.

Please can you advice on how you went about the proof of fund for Visa application? I mean the demonstration of fund they usually request for? Thanks

I prayed about visa grant deliveries this week with few people saying Amen.. and as hilarious as our God may be, He started the delivery with me! #Obaaseyiowu

MEDICAL: 28th May
VISA APPLICATION : 18th June
BIOMETRIC: 19th June.. (it would surprise you I did my biometric twice.... firstly on 18th June, then was called that my biometric wasn't successfully delivered, Australian government had to call VFS to call me for another one... was the only one called back for it out of the 31 people that did biometric on 18th June) .... You too see say my village people tried, but the God of Oyedepo pass them... Lol

CO contact: 31st July (requested for a new CoE)
New CoE uploaded : 2nd August
Visa Grant: 6th August

The visa dropped while I was on phone with my agent.. we were gisting , Lo and behold, he just shouted "ofemi o ti jade o" ....naso I began dance skelewu and now, I've switched to naira Marley.. Lol

For someone out there discouraged and trying to throw in the towel, let my testimony be enough to spark hope in you.. I got denied by Czech Rep in 2015 and US last August. Today marks it a year and two days those bastard at Walter Carrighton knack me "hammer" for head... but today, just see what the Lord has done.
Lemme say it again, all hopefuls will smile IJN.

Australian Universities are not necessarily concerned about GPAs inasmuch as it's not below Second class lower division (2:2). However, your choosing post graduate course should be directly related to your undergraduate subject if you want things to fly easily.
I will suggest you look out for schools in Regional areas of Aussie. They cheaper than schools in Sydney.
Make sure the course is a master degree type and it's in line with your undergraduate course. Tidy your statement of purpose well as sometimes DHA may request it.
Outside that Aussie will always give you admission because you are coming to pay double school fees as against their citizens...

The immigration law stipulate you work 20hrs/Fortnight during school section and unlimited hours during your holiday. Am unsure on what visa brought your brother to Australia and how he managed to survive. Having said that, alot of students over work to cover tuition and living expenses which the immigration and school are well aware of.
It becomes a problem when you fail to enrol in a Semester/Trimester without a proper leave of absence from your Uni or you defer numerous times, immigration may want you to give them a compassionate or compelling reason(s) why your visa shouldn't be cancelled.

Ask your brother how foreign students are thriving in Sydney

It's definitely not easy like he stated. In lot of cases one thing has to suffer, either studies or earning money. You may also be able to marry both together if you're a better planner.

Am yet to hear a situation were immigration had to deport someone for over working their hours. Hence, I have seen where some people were stopped from entering the country after going on holidays overseas due to not enrolling for that semester and going over the required work hours.

I am very sure you will be fine in Sydney. Having a place to put your head makes it even better. Do not leave the burden of paying the house rental and other utilities on your brother thereby taking advantage of him. Support him, work with him, respect him, seek advice from him but not him alone.

Godspeed.

Thanks so much Sir West. By God's Grace, I shall do my best to make sure he doesn't regret his kindness towards me.
I will support him in any way I can - that's my desire.
Life is not bells of roses anywhere, it's struggling here and there for those of us who has to fend for themselves and tried to create a better future for our unborn children. I don't want my children to suffer what I have suffered as child, adult, student, after school and searching for jobs.
Life in this world can be tiring and difficult. Some people just have it all around them they do not have to suffer nothing.
I don't want to be disturbed. I am focused an never deterred.�

I have a Ielts score of 7.5 overall and my age is 31. Normally i would have applied for an msc ptogramme in Elrctronic Engineering buh due to my 3rd class degree , i am not sure i will be admitted by any university into thier Msc programme so chose to apply to a TAFE diploma programme instead with a pathway to degree. Many of the Tafe Institutions i checked online all have numerous agencies here in dubai buh am yet to visit any yet. The expences and tafe tuition fees which i checked online is within my budget of 4million which i have saved so far and i have a bank statement from an uncle who resides in Nigeria and a brother that lives in America too

Your question has been address countless time, for the benefit of others, search for school(s) of your choice and apply. Most schools if not all will direct you to their representatives (agents) to handle your application with that you are in a safe hand.
Any graduate or post-graduate course minimum of 2years duration is eligible for 2years post study work visa.


University of Adelaide is a AL1 Uni, you may not need SOA for visa application but some school do request for SOA to know the financial status of their prospective students e.g Deakin
SOA was requested of me.

Hello,
You can check for some schools on AL1. They run what is called "Graduate Diploma programs that will allow you have access to M.eng in your preferred Area." after one year. The course is designed to run for 12months.

Good evening everyone. I applied for visa on the 24th of June but actually my start date was 29th July and I got an extension till August 9th.Yeah I applied late. At some point, the school asked my agent for my reference number to chase up the embassy but unfortunately the visa didn't come out. On the 8th I got a mail from school to immediately withdraw my visa application that the fact they resumed coupled with the fact that their visa refusal profile shows that I might be at risk of getting a refusal,hence I withdrew. I'm about to re-apply for student visa and I want to know if I'd have to do another medical and biometrics. N.B I did my medical on the 18th of June and I guess that's still early. Please how do I go about it?
Re: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by waynee2baba: 12:02am On Aug 19, 2019
Why do Australian Universities coerce you into using agents to tender an application? I think it's bullshit. These agents charge as much as 150k for no reason. What kind of fuckery is this?
Re: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by Ibrahim39: 12:42am On Aug 19, 2019

If they CGPA can't fly for masters in Australia please let me know as well as what the AL1 is all about and of post graduate diploma prospectives do clinch visas as masters students.
Re: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by fobak203(m): 11:29am On Aug 19, 2019
It's good to be back here. I have tried to catch up on recent happenings. Appreciation goes to my folks that have tried to answer questions on here.
I will be touching on a very unpopular area on this thread.

Summary: I have just graduated from Macquarie for my research masters. Declined a PhD offer and scholarship from RMIT (The director tried to convince me for one hour on call, at that point, I started to feel like a superstar) and went with Deakin because the scholarship offered by Deakin covers for Multi Family OSHC, Relocation allowance and Conference travel together with the normal tuition and living stipends offered normally. Other reasons are prospect of job, the enthusiasm and personality of Deakin supervisor over RMIT (before keyboard warriors go start to dey advise me. Lols).

Kudos to Daddybomboy, who tried to share a template on how to get the attention of a supervisor. Let me share another tip. Remember that everyone likes to be identified with and like to be valued. Showing interest in the professors past work and speaking from that perspective is a proven, tested and trusted way of catching his or her attention. For instance, immediately sharing how your research interest overlap theirs sparks their interest and showed the homework you have done.

Back to my story: I had my family visa refused as Subsequent entrant last August, I was patient enough to secure CoE and Multifamily OSHC policy (which cost 17600AUD for more than two people for PhD). My best best now is to apply as the primary applicant and put my family as dependent.

Another morale of my story: if you get a refusal, don't be in a hurry to reapply if you cannot address the reason for refusal. Make sure you are able to address those aforementioned challenges before going ahead or you will be met with another rejection.

Finally, Most of the times, I feel like my case is a very rare one for many reasons. Maybe people should start looking into it. I will explain, not a lot of people do the masters by Research I did, which is a one year full scholarship pathway programme at Macquarie or stand-alone course if you have no intention of doing a PhD. If you have a masters and excelled in it from Nigeria, you can look into this route as an escape route from Nigeria. Its a win-win situation, you don't have to pay tuition, you get stipends, another MSc in the bag and can progress into PhD seamlessly. I got my PhD scholarships because I started a project in my research masters that coincided with some projects underway at RMIT and Deakin, so I could speak the language effectively.

YOU WILL HARDLY GET PHD OFFERS STRAIGHT FROM NIGERIA MOST TIMES BECAUSE THERE IS A GAP IN RESEARCH EMBARKMENT BETWEEN NIGERIA AND AUSTRALIA. FIND A WAY IN BY THIS NEW PATHWAYS AND THE REST WILL BE HISTORY. I don't know if I am making any sense. Let me just drop my mic.

Long story short: if you made a first class or a very strong 2.1, have good academic references, one or two peer-reviewed publication, good employment, strong commitment to develop yourself, (in this case, taking it to mean leave Nigeria for Now, Keyboard warriors, take note). You can get a MRes or PhD scholarship and getting visa to Australia. It is black and white, no hidden agenda with this people. Since I nor gree drop mic, the battery don low by himself. Bye

Hello guys.
Should I go for university of south Australia or University of Newcastle for masters. I will appreciate your replies.
Re: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by fobak203(m): 3:10pm On Aug 20, 2019
There are many things to consider before making such decision. You did not give enough information for anyone to help you decide. I will try to give a response from different perspectives.
PR: If you want to get PR easily, University of South Australia might be a good option because most parts are still considered regional especially those outside the ABC Adelaide Capital city. On the other hand, Newcastle where University of Newcastle is situated is not a regional area.
Jobs: There are no much difference in terms of available jobs in this area. But since Newcastle is close to Sydney, I would think it has more jobs or at least gives you more alternative and proximity to jobs. Nightlife: Again, South Australia is a relatively boring area compared to Newcastle, even though, Newcastle is not as bubbly as Sydney or Melbourne. They are all in relative terms.
Standard of living: South Australia is pretty cheap compared to Newcastle because the NSW effect has started to rub off on Newcastle. But you will be alright Las Las as there are jobs as countermeasures
Other things to look out for is the cost of tuition fees, prospect of your course of study to getting PR and general outlook based on your preference on the aforementioned topics. Google is your friend too. In terms of ranking. University of South Australia sits higher than University of Newcastle. Who ranking help if PR is not involved. These are my two cents. Others can add more to it. Cheers

Dear Nairalanders, I so much appreciate the good works you all have been doing here. Please I need your assistance on this question.
My study visa application was refused on the 1st August, 2019 (Please the reasons below). Should I request for another offer letter from same school while I address the issues raised? Or should I request for refund and apply to AL1 school and choose a course related to my discipline? If I pick this, I do not know how to prove that I will get job in that field when I return to Nigeria since my present career is not in line with my discipline. I am confused, I need help.
NOTE: I did not apply to AL1 list school initially because I could not afford the tuition deposit of 4m naira.
Thanks.

Below are reasons for my refusal:

The applicant proposes to study the following course in Australia:
✃ Master of International Community Development at Victoria University
I have considered the applicant’s GTE statement and all other supporting documents
provided, and have placed weight on the following factors in reaching my decision:
I have considered applicant’s age, and previous studies and employment. I am not satisfied
that the applicant has substantially demonstrated in his GTE statement how the proposed
studies will benefit his career path and future remuneration. I have noted the letter from
Ministry of Environment and Water Resources dated 20/06/2019 “Request for Two Years
Leave of Absent Without Pay” however it is noted that this letter does not state what the
applicant’s future position will be, future duties or remuneration will be and as a result I am
not satisfied that the proposed studies will benefit the applicant’s career pathway and future
remuneration. I retain concerns with regard to the applicant’s claims of future employment
with his current employer. I also find it unlikely that this employer is able to predict their
staffing requirements in 2 years’ time.
I am not satisfied that the applicant has substantially demonstrated how the proposed
studies will benefit his career path and future remuneration, noting and placing weight on my
concerns with regard to the applicant’s claims of future employment.
I am also not satisfied that the applicant has demonstrated that he has investigated study
options in his home country or countries other than Australia. This leads me to have concerns
with regards to the applicant’s intentions once in Australia should a visa be granted to him.
I have also considered that the applicant has declared a spouse and 2 children remaining
in his home country while he studies, however these ties in themselves do not convince me
of a strong incentive to return to his home country, noting and placing weight on the fact
that there are visa options open to the applicant’s family members to join the applicant in
Australia.
While I accept and have placed weight on the fact that the applicant may wish to study in an
English speaking environment and obtain an internationally recognised qualification, I cannot
be satisfied, given the applicant’s individual circumstances, that the applicant genuinely
intends a temporary stay in Australia.
I am not satisfied that a clear and logical pathway has been demonstrated. I am not satisfied
that applicant meets the requirement of genuine temporary entrant and genuine student.
I am not satisfied that the applicant meets Reg. 500.212 of the Migration Regulations.

Good evening. Pls my 1st degree is accounting. Which course do u think I should go for to easily get PR? If I should start d masters process now when can I hopefully get to Australia?

Pls don't get angry for my inquiries

[quote author=fobak203 post=81434865]There are many things to consider before making such decision. You did not give enough information for anyone to help you decide. I will try to give a response from different perspectives.
PR: If you want to get PR easily, University of South Australia might be a good option because most parts are still considered regional especially those outside the ABC Adelaide Capital city. On the other hand, Newcastle where University of Newcastle is situated is not a regional area.

Jobs: There are no much difference in terms of available jobs in this area. But since Newcastle is close to Sydney, I would think it has more jobs or at least gives you more alternative and proximity to jobs. Nightlife: Again, South Australia is a relatively boring area compared to Newcastle, even though, Newcastle is not as bubbly as Sydney or Melbourne. They are all in relative terms.
Standard of living: South Australia is pretty cheap compared to Newcastle because the NSW effect has started to rub off on Newcastle. But you will be alright Las Las as there are jobs as countermeasures
Other things to look out for is the cost of tuition fees, prospect of your course of study to getting PR and general outlook based on your preference on the aforementioned topics. Google is your friend too. In terms of ranking. University of South Australia sits higher than University of Newcastle. Who ranking help if PR is not involved. These are my two cents. Others can add more to it. Cheers

I studied Accounting in my first degree. Should I still opt for this course for master? I need a course I can easily get PR. And also if I begin my masters process now when does schools resume?
Please i'm new to this
