Hello. . Kudos to you guys all . . . My own question is that is there any university in australia that can accept hnd and offerring in surveying & geo-informatics as a course
Yes. But you have to drop back into 3year or so.
Why don't you do civil engineering instead? They will take you

Just as your name, you are SuperWrong!!!! One of the motto of Aussie is multiculturalism hence the diversity of people here, even the locals are few Buh the foreign imports are massive! So where is the racist chants coming from Abuse one racially here and see if your not going to court or paying a law suit that you will pay for the rest of your life. Hear say is hear say, hope it makes sense
Guy educate your self about racism and then revisit this conversation. Thank you.

Did you come to Australia to socialise or make money?
If you came to socialise then Australians are cliquishness not racist. Even Poms(white immigrants from the UK) who come here have complained to me that Australians will not mix with them, tough luck. If you have come for money or career reasons then Australia isn't racist and that is where i draw the line with you Institutionalised racism claim.
I am not the only Nigerian or black person at my company, as a matter of fact my company has a stated policy to recruit internationals for diversity reasons, so i dare say if you and a white male rank same in all their metrics, then you will be hired and my company isn't the only one like that. I cannot tell you how many people told me that it cannot be done to get into that organisation, that they would never hire black people, well guess what? They do hire black people, i was not the first and since i got in, i haven't been the last. We even have a parapo association now.
Believe what you will about the country, and maybe you are just planning to come or are new here. My advise for you would be to fix your mindset. Thats what i tell every young person coming here.
Also as much as i advised cutting off black bottom feeders, cut off uneducated/unexposed white people too. I see them everyday at my job, but their bad belle does not affect me, cos they answer to me and not the other way around.
The fact That you make money and bla bla doesn't immediately negate the existence of racism. If you have children, guess who will be at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to socialising and a multicultural experience? Your children. You can focus on making money and Think that's the be all and end all but I feel sorry for your children because you will obviously be oblivious to the many struggles they will face.
Maybe you don't know but you also need to fix your mindset . Calling people bottom feeders and other horrid names is not a nice thing to think or say.

Again you misunderstand, you and i will never fully integrate here, i came at 33, i am never going to have the same mateship with people who were born and grew together and that is my point, Australians find it harder to let new people into their existing social circles, even other white people have reported the same, just moving from Sydney to Perth is a no no for lots of people and once they attempt it they experience the same. And as for you bottom feeder comment, make of that what you will, my reference is to ambition, not to people's station in life. I am telling all these people to come here with ambitions the size of mountains(not that religious mumbojumbo shit) and the cujones to back it up! And to avoid people who will put down your mentality, how is that a bad thing? You would have them socialise with white racist brickies/cleaners who will constantly tell them they are less then them or black people who have been here for ages and done nothing with themselves and would readily tell you its cos no one gave them a chance cos of their skin colour?
The advise i have given these people is the same our parents gave everyone of us growing up, you are who you associate with, now maybe your understanding of what i have said is that every low skilled white person is racist or every low skilled black person is emotionally challenged, thats not what i meant to convey and thats missing the bloody point. The point is we do those jobs that allow us meet these people cos thats what we have to do to survive when we first come here. Don't become one of them, every society has its low, middle and upper classes, i am encouraging every immigrant here not to fall into the bottom rung, how is that a bad thing?
Finally it says something that of the many positive points i have made, you would only pick the probably inelegant use of bottom feeder i used, so nothing else i said makes sense?

Guy, a lot of what you have said makes a lot of sense. I only voiced what I disagreed with which is the part where you said there is no racism in Australia. Racism makes it that much harder for people to succeed. Fact.

I feel there is a mentality that will defeat you before you even try. If you wanted friends and social validation and security why even leave home?
I studied Mechanical engineering in Nigeria and couldn't even get a look in in Nigeria because i got a 2.2 but i was treated differently here and accepted, i will always say Australians aren't racist. Funny enough if anyone as ever treated me differently, it was in Nigeria cheesy

Anyways, you can't save everyone. All we can do is drop good advise, and those who will listen will, those who won't just won't.

You are sounding as if Australia is the most racist country in the world, try eastern European countries like Poland and other Scandinavian countries and see the real meaning of rascism then you will find out that if there's rascism in Australia as you claim, is still a child's play compare to those countries. Have been here for over a year, can't say there is no rascism but have never experience any circumstance relating to rascism.

Hello house, I am have been a silent reader. I got admission to study masters in management for engineers. I did mechanical as my undergraduate degree and have been working since afterwards. I want to know if my choice for masters has a logical progression with my undergraduate course , more so I have been handling project supervisory roles in my current work place.



I think you should heed to what @gunpoint told you. If your aim is PR, abeg use your Mech from here run am. If at all you have at least 2 years experience, you can make it through the PR process, maybe using 489. much better and cheaper than using school. I have a B.Eng in Production Engineering and waiting for Grant on 489. So do the needful bro. Thanks @gunpoint for replying a lot of people here.

Re: General Australian Student Visa Enquiries Part 3 by meelife: 9:02pm On Apr 15, 2018
Thanks for this advise,
Just to enquire, Does Teaching have an adavantage over Education, I ask because,while searching several Universities,;its been difficult to find a University that offers PGD in Teaching, but rather few offer PGD in Education,Most offer Masters in Teaching aand some others Masters in Education.
Example A University wrote on their website that base on the request from the Government they have converted PDG in Teaching to Masters in Teaching from 2018.
So what is the best advise for this situation.

I have been mislead by an agent before so I dont want a repitition, Considering the fact that Australia requires agents for applications.
Just for clarification,I discussed this with my agent as regards 1 year programme (PDG in Teaching) giving an opportunity to apply for PR, he said one must do a 2 year programme to be eligible to apply for PR, please is there more info/explanation/ a link to guide me on this.
Thanks in anticipation

Hi everyone. If you are coming here solely to chase residency and you have a core science background (meaning you studied Maths, Physics, Chemistry, IT, Engineering, Biology etc) and you wana go by the study route (that is using school here to get PR), a cheap and tested option is to come and do the PGD in teaching (not education oh, TEACHING).
Its relatively cheap, its only 12 mnts and it will get you PR. Ofcos you have to apply for another course at the end of this PGD while you PR is loading but you can then do any course your heart truly desires, knowing fully well your PR is in the pipeline. And the beauty about it is you can work as a teacher and earn good money while studying that course you originally wanted to study.
Please reconfirm which of the levels is on the SOL again as there is preschool teacher, primary school teacher and secondary school teacher and i believe at this time they are still all on the list. For now SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHER is best, however, always check before you apply.
Another benefit of using a 12month course to chase PR is you can be done before immigration rules change again. And did i mention its relatively cheap and teachers earn good money? Yes I did

Since noone knows nothing for sure, we can make assumptions and logically assess such hypothesis, all for the purpose of keeping hope alive. Personally, I think all hands are on deck in DIBP to monitor the influx and putflux of spectators, fans and patriot in order to ensure they leave the country immediately after the commonwealth games. Although, it came to an end on the 15th April 2018. Hopefully, we should start hearing news of Visa grants two weeks from today. Did I mention that it is my opinion. Yes I did

Your husband may need to show about 11,000 aud. Not too sure how much needs to be shown for a child.
You don't really need his employment letter, except they ask for it
Your GTE should communicate "his coming back"
I have gone tru the process, any more questions, pls let me know.

I did apply for my son though, and they got back to me saying i show proof of sufficient funds and account statement.

Question is, from ur experience, what exactly are they asking me for?

Note. The mail and correspondence was addressed to my son who is 8yrs.

I hope you get what i mean. What do i need to show.
