aside from engineering I'm not sure there's any other assessment body that can assess zero experience positively ,so it gets funny when people ask the question you just did ...I stand to be corrected tho .. go to the other thread by sir bellong and ask him ,he's our pr guru ..but I think you should first check the sol and csol for your field.finding a course or university that is not expensive is a personal thing you do yourself ,nobody will search that for you ...

Thank God I received my Visa Grant today the 16th of February. application submitted on the 2nd of February, medicals on the 1st of February and biometrics on the 3rd. I will be traveling to Melbourne next week Thursday or Friday and I haven't booked my ticket. Please house, what's the cheapest flight from Lagos to Melbourne?

No direct flight from Nigeria to AUS is cheap but when you break down your journey you may find one. I.e, fly (Ethiopia Air) from lagos Abuja to Singapore Malaysia or Thailand then flight (Cebu Pacific or Air Asia to Melbourne.
You need to ring the embassies to see if you need a transit visa and make sure you leave at least 6-12 hrs for your connecting flight.

In most cases it does cover but people still end up deferring their admission while other change from uni to uni or uni to tafe. In such case, you do need to show ielts and bankstatement for your visa to be granted.

Ok boss. Well understood.

@yomiesneh Meawhile a Masters of Engineering in ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING in RMIT is 34000aud per year while similar program in edith cowan university is 25900aud per year and which EDC is of my interest and as a result would require a sponsor of which i have been clamouring for clarification on the variety of sponsors acceptable on this thread since yesterday and i have not got a clear answer..

1. If your undergraduate degree is in Engineering, why pay $25900 for tuition when you can get a PR with half of the money?

2. Who do you have in mind to sponsor you? The key to sponsorship is your ability and that of the sponsor to proof your relationship and why he is sponsoring you. If you have convincing evidence of ties, you shouldn't have issues irrespective whether your sponsor is a family member or not. The instructions on the website are guidelines, there are exceptions to every rule.


Meanwhile, it is better you do PR than throw $25k away with no benefit. When you get your PR, you can still go to school and pay domestic student fee or free if it is by research.

Can you outline your point?

You don't need work experience as an engineer to get a positive assessment.

I am sorry... Ask your question here, other people may be able to answer you better.

Hi boss, please I need a little clarity@bolded:Are Masters by research and PhD free for PR holders? Upon arrival in Aussie, at what point does one qualify for this?

Once you arrive and are able to secure admission for Masters or PhD by research, you don't pay tuition as a PR holder.
It is completely free and may get stipend from your supervisor if he has ongoing project.

This is cool, and is it possible on a part time basis?

Please house, i have a question. Currently, i have a 4 years experience in the banking industry but with degree and masters in zoology. If I apply for bsc in accounting and graduate. Will my work experience in nigeria count for me while applying for PR? Please help

Thank you all.

Congrats Lusen. I ask for this grace

Hello House.

Pls advice. I paid my tuition deposit to Rmit via telegraph transfer Cus I had available us dollars but since 9th of Feb til now, Rmit said they haven't gotten my payment that as soon as my payment is cleared I I'll be issued with my coe.
I have contacted Gtbank and they have initiated a tracer which proved funds were delivered.

I am to resume on the 28th of Feb and I haven't gotten coe not to talk of visa application.

Does it really take that long to confirm payment?

mctowel01:

I don't know if it is tuition free for part time, I am only sure of full time.

bellong:

So getting an admission for PhD directly would not stand as an advantage for PR? Also, will PhD students pay tuition as they don't have to take courses?

Please clarify. I am applying for PhD
