Dislikes:

  • Although it's not just this university but the country's culture, foreign universities charge for things that normally an Indian university would give for free. For example, my pre-service teacher badge cost me a good $20 to order, which should have been ideally provided by the department. null

Scholarship

No I haven't received any scholarship, although I did earn 25% scholarship for my first year for being a meritorious student. Scholarships in Australia are minimal, and majorly for PhD and research based courses.

I have grown as a person at this University. Not just in terms of academics, which made me realise how tough and complex a teacher's job is, but also as a person.

Dislikes:

  • The campus looks beautiful but it is not active. After 5PM, no eateries are open inside the campus. All the clubs like dance, music, machine learning, etc. are just for namesake. The location of campus is also far from the city. null

Scholarship

Yes. I got Collaborative PhD scholarship which is 29000 AUD per year. This is a scholarship that is funded to PhD students at Curtin University.

Overall the experience was good. There are many pros and cons. Although the routine life was boring, the infrastructure was damn good.

Dislikes:

  • While most things are beyond amazing at Curtin, as an international student I feel the fee is expensive to pay but that’s just how we see any comparison. Most other universities have a higher fee but even with scholarships, it could be tough for a middle class Indian. null

Scholarship

I got a merit scholarship as I achieved more than 7 CGPA in my undergrad. It reduced by tuition fee by 25% This application was part of the enrolment and did not need any further process to apply separately.

It has been an amazing journey so far. There is ample scope and opportunities and Perth being a moderately populated city makes it easy to find places and people that are willing to help.

Scholarship

The criteria of getting a scholarship from my university are very simple I'd say the OASIS account have every detail and you will get active notification of active scholarships after subscribing. The scholarships are of various types such as accommodation scholarship, merit-based scholarship, minority-based etc.

My admission process was thoroughly through my own research as Curtin University stands among 1% of top universities and best for mining engineering as Australia is a hub of mining. I got major help from the consultancy (SIEC)

It had a high ranking than the other college that offered my course. The campus was larger and more catered to what I wanted as a student and it was also located closer to cheaper rental accommodation off-campus.

I went to college because of instant entryway into law. Other universities you had to do an undergrad to get in, but for this one, you didn't. It also had great reviews and a great city campus for the law students.
