Go for masters on a course on the skilled occupation list, not any course.

You may get admission without english test, but english test solidifies your application for admission and visa.

You can't escape english test on this journey. You need english test result for your post study visa application and permanent migration. They accept upto 3 years for post study visa english test, so you can still use the same one you got admission with then.

School fees varies with course not generally

Budget about #4M initial fees for a management course.


Good day People...
I am New here oo.. And I need help too
I studied Physics Education BSC and would like to proceed for Masters in Medical Physics....

I hope its a good choice of course and in demand in Australia....

What should be my expectation as to funds and the likes...

Yes, English test is required before assessment.

Yes, you can use you final year project.

You don't need to use your Masters degree as it adds no mark or value. It is same point with BSc.

If you had read the thread, you would have answered your questions.

Good day.. Please, I want to apply as a Secondary School Science teacher.. Please, will subclass 189 be fine for my Visa??

trastar:
Concerning getting a job, I have a few advice but before the advice let me tell you ppl story of my job search.
got in 11th of December. started applying for work like a week after.
O boy! I applied for everything. I started getting calls like the next day after I applied.
I feel like customer service and admin roles are the easiest jobs to get here.
insurance companies are always looking for customer service.
got a job and resumption was on 2ND OF Jan with insurance. did not really like the role cos honestly, I was clueless-knowing next to nothing about insurance and the training was not it at all.
so I still kept applying, still kept going for interviews.

the friend I know here already gave me gist of interviews she went for and she was discriminated against because of color so I was sort of prepared when it happened to me.
and because she is a major success story of how you can start from scratch and work your way up here, I just keyed into her ginger.
I mean her first job was as a receptionist and 5 years down the line, senior HR in a huge multinational, trips abroad, company credit card, iphone X and plenty other gengen. so I just told myself, if she can do it, I can.

So when I went for interview for customer service manager with one company and the CEO came in, saw me, told me to pls wait at coffee shop across the road cos the HR manager that will interview me was not in yet, it pained me but not so much. I was prepared for it.
HR manager later called and told me she was asked to cancel the interview and she is sorry.
minutes later, I saw notification on my linkedin of two different ppl from the company viewing my profile, plus CEO and HR manager too.
in revenge, I clicked on” view profile” for every single person in that company too. we dey view each other noni. but thank God that did not click cos that same day, I had interview with a premium car manufacturing company and I got the job.

Pls note these jobs are all contract based. the pay isn’t bad at all. I get paid per hour but it means you get paid just for the number of hours’ u work for, no leave payment or any of that. I also don’t mind because it means I am not tied to any company and I can keep searching till I find a great place.

So my advice for anyone coming to Sydney is;

1. Blow your own horn during interviews. don’t doubt yourself. the things that won’t impress a Nigerian interviewer impresses them here. The average Nigerian employee normally do roles meant for 3 to 4 people here. so when you are telling them about what your job entailed back home, don’t make it seem small or not a big deal. list and list.

2. Apply to as many jobs as you can, don’t be discouraged by the nos. just keep applying, its kuku free.

3. They really do not ask to see physical copies of your degree certificates, (even for my husband who is in IT) this means they rely on what you say a lot. But they asked for evidence of IT certifications though. so your destiny na your mouth and cv e dey. not asking anyone to be dishonest and go and list what u did not do or degree u do not have ooo. but be ready to use your mouth to defend whatever you write in cv. this is easier for those of us in the not technical fields. we can easily learn on the job but if you are not a programmer and you claim programmer. Well...

4. Another trick my friend told me was –remove anything with Nigeria in your CV. don’t let them judge u before meeting you. let them at least hear u talk before assuming u can’t offer anything. so a lot of times they call and they don’t even realise experiences I listed were all in Nigeria. I got so many interviews even me sef begin turn them down.

5. Concerning colleagues, if you are like me who thought Nigerians are “bad” when it comes to office politics, be ready for a shocker here. Oyibo ppl gossip pass us. my Gahd! someone will stand now and next minute they are gossiping them. next minute they are smiling at them. If you ever thought they are superior morally, just know now that all of us are humans. na skin color differ.

6. My husband got a job in his field-IT Networking- like two weeks after I got mine. his job is full time and although it took time, he was patient and because I was working, he can afford to be patient. if you can, don’t get caught up doing hustle job that u won’t have time to chase proper jobs in your career line.

7. I felt bad about my accent initially but different ppl form several countries work with me.
South African, Zimbabwean-the only other black person asides myself, etc. everyone get accent so we dey. you need a lot of thick skin and a container load of self-confidence.
8. I am still searching, my mouth is wide now. so yeah..





As a Science Teacher (Physics) with Bsc Ed degree with 2-3years experience.

Travel / Re: Can Students Work To Pay Tuition In Australia by Olivertripzz: 10:15am On May 29, 2020
dellnet:
I don't know what your profession is or level of skill. Lets do the math like this; minimum wage is $15 (some places may vary) so you are looking at about $300/WK assuming your course duration is 1 year. If you work 20hrs/WK for 52 weeks you will get $15,600 less tax.
Forget about this vague calculation, questions I have for you; what is your profession or level of skill? Can your skills fit into the workforce with high pay in Australia? Will your school allow you to pay up the balance in installment? Do you have good English skills? If you answer yes to the last 3 questions then I guess you are good to go because for sure students can get job there. The clarification is all on you.


In my own case, studied Physics Education (BSc Ed), and I have 3years experience...
My intention is to study and work.. How Possible is it.. And are Teachers well paid there?

You will claim 5 years since it is the same occupation but different companies. The company you work doesn't matter as long as you are performing same job functions.



It means exactly that.


2. Some occupations have too many applicants in the pool. The department decided to push up the invitation points for those occupations to make things easier for themselves.

All pro-rata occupations need at least 75points to have hope of invitation as it is the case currently. Things may change later because immigration policies get reviewed periodically.


Good day.. Please, I'm new here and I need help...
I studied Physics Education, graduated 2017 ... And I have the intentions of studying Medical Physics for Masters.
I was advised not to spend Millions on Fees and the likes but to go for PR since that's what I want to end up with.

But I really don't know how to go about it... the application and the rest... I need a guide please

Please, I studied Physics Education and I want to pursue PR in Australia... I finished 2017.
Though my intention is to have my Masters in Medical Physics..

Please, How do I go about it?

When did you graduate? Do you have experience as a teacher?

You are a science teacher if you have experience. You will be better off starting the PR process than committing millions to school when your end game is PR. It is easier from the outside most of the times than applying onshore because you have all the states to apply for nomination. People onshore can only get nomination in state of residence except they have a job offer in another state or relocate.

Check the PR thread and read the process.


Thanks Alot


I actually finished 2017 and ever since I have been working in the Bank..

Though, I have practised during my NYSC days and TP.. Besides I also have other skills like Graphics and 3D Animation
