Let's talk about study abroad and particularly what its like to study in Australia.
Also, did you ever see the Cash Cows story? Universities making billions out of international students? International Student Cash Cows?
In this video, I talk about being in Australia as an international student and I sum up my journey from applying for schools and scholarships to travel visas and student experiences. Also getting jobs and living in Melbourne, Australia.
Please note, this Is In no way immigration advice. If you’re looking to study In australia, please seek advice from an agent.

"It was just my name" it's so true & unfortunate at the same time coz as an international student you don't expect such things to happen especially in a so called 1st world country but it's so true. One of my friend started getting interview calls after he changed his name to "Brian" in the resume.

Interesting, I really do love Australia. If not for boarder closure I would have been there by know... Although , when I started my process there where no channels were get information like this , I researched the hard way lol, but I'm already giving out information on how far I have gone to those who are just beginning... Well done sis, I truly enjoyed watching.

I'm so happy to find a KZfaqr from Nigeria who studied in Australia. I have always wanted to know about the study environment in Australia as well as career prospects based on course of study. So I want to ask: - I graduated with a CGPA of 3.04 on a 5 scale in political science (2015). I'm 29yrs and I'm a career change seeker, hoping to study Masters in Social Work in Australia. Will I be eligible to study in Australia universities? - Is Social Work a high demand course or skill in need in Australia? What are the job prospects for social work in Australia? Does this differ based on states and regional areas in Australia? - do they accept persons with physical disabilities to study Social Work? - do you have any contact details or connection with immigration agents in Australia? - I heard that in Australia skilled Occupation List, some skills are sometimes removed and replaced, is there any chance that Social Work will be as untouchable compared to Nursing?

@JohnSmith-sj2dk 6 ай бұрын

both are in demand in Australia, however Nursing more so.

This video is among the best I’ve seen on lives with international students outside their home country. The way you talk, how clean it is .. keep it up 👍. Please I’m applying to a school in Melbourne as well😊, I hope I get admitted course I’m in love with the country, but they asked for my passport number, is it right? Another thing is the animals dere, how’s life dere with it .

@ChiiAlia 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you 🙏🏽 So as an international student, your passport is one of your primary means of identification and that’s why they asked for the number. I live in Melbourne, close to the city so I haven’t seen any wild animals around me unless I go to the zoo😊

Did you study Masters in engineering? I'll like to ask you for clarification. I heard that engineering students and graduates find it very hard to get a job in Australia (my relative currently in Australia is studying Aeronautical engineering and yet couldn't find job in his field). Pls which job websites can engineering students/graduate use in applying for jobs in Australia? - Is it true that the only way to secure a PR pathway via study route is to get a job related to your field of study only?

@sodex4real11 2 жыл бұрын

I believe most countries has rules concerning their aeronautic field.. In most countries before you can secure jobs in that aeronautic field you must be a citizen or permanent resident because that’s one important sector of the country so they don’t just accept anybody who hasn’t signed an oath with the country ( you should understand)

@aj._putri2990 2 жыл бұрын

Idk if this helps but there isn't much racism in Australia for my own experience and I'm Asian. The school I'm attending is filled with students with different ethnicity (people born in England, Africa, New Zealand, Filipino, Vietnamese, Sweden, Australia and etc.) I'm friends with many people who have different nationality and we don't experience much racism. The school offered several excursions to visit many varieties of uni's and I saw many people with different ethnicity who was currently studying at the uni. I've been to Melbourne bec my sister got accepted in the globe K-pop audition and in Melbourne it was filled with like a lot of people with different culture and I didn't experience any racism there. People were so friendly, however I suggest you should attend UQ or QUT in Brisbane in my opinion it's quite expensive in Melbourne😊
