I don't know about Deakin. But it's best to assume that each School will ask you to pay first semester Tuition + OSHC to cover the full length of the program(unless you indicate that you want to arrange OSHC by yourself) before they issue COE. I'm saying this based on my experience with QUT (You might want to check them out as well). So, don't make your financial plans based on only the Tuition.

Have you considered regional areas? The Schools there tend to be cheaper, plus you get more points(5 I think) for schooling there(again, this is if your long term goal is PR). Some regions are also known to put students that schooled in the area first when it comes to nomination. The only thing is that if you eventually want to go to that region, they have their own criteria too.

To know the places categorized as regional areas...google is your friend

Hope this helps.

To be honest, I am hearing 'regional areas' for the first time! And yes, - PR is my long term plans. I would play around Google for this great information you have given, and you can be sure I will direct necessary questions to you and the house. Thanks again for this!

2posh:


Great. So now you have your work cut out for you.

It's quite straight forward - identify the regional areas and cross-reference that info with the list of Schools under SVP.

Then check those Schools for your program, costs and whatever else matters to you.

***As you research on regional areas, be sure to identify why they are called that(they are low/under-populated places. Some people find it boring but hey, you have a goal in mind right? Except if 'gbedu' matters that much to you sha). Also, if at the time of PR you go with nomination from a region, they(or some) require you to live there for at least 2years or so and some other requirements(see why you need to research them?)

Hope this helps.

Submitted mine on the 7th of August. Transcript received on 9th and i was not requested to upload transcript. I sincerely hope we hear from them next week, because sincerely the waiting is very gangstar.

He can get a positive assessment depending on where he studied his geology. OAU is a four year geology degree and I got a positive assessment.

I think they have some selected universities that they treat their four year degree to be equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree.

Good afternoon fellow contributors, please what is the fastest way to check if a school or programme is under SVP? I have applied to Uni of Queensland for Masters in Public Health Program (SVP - 1.5years), and I'm considering another application to another school for the same course in order to boost admission chances. I want a programme of 1.5 (or 2 years preferably), and the school has to be under SVP. Anyone who has such schools that meet my criteria can help me post them biko. Deakin's MPH degree is 2 years, but I'm not sure if they are under SVP. Thank you again and again!

jayooh:
Hello sir. Please how did you place your admission application through to university of Queensland, did they refer you to an agent or you did it your self?
Plus was there any language proof requirement?

Good evening everyone ,
Thank you all for your recent help and contribution . Question , please . In the form 157A, question 46) How will you access your funds in Australia? Please , what is the answer .
Best regards

Mikey:

I have a comment on no 3, I'm not saying you're wrong but I know someone that was denied visa and one of the reason is that in his school application he said his father is his sponsor and while applying for visa he wrote company sponsorship, he wasn't elaborate to let them know that the dad is the company director. My opinion is that they share some information

chetaRay:
@chi50 @2posh @erictack203 @ all gurus

plz in the 157A visa application form no 36

can sumone write NYSC PPA as one of an employment history since leaving school

bigm101:
Hi,
Thank you so much for the quick response . I'm so grateful. And Yes my school is part of SVP but no, my intended course is not part of SVP. So, I am going to be accessed on assessment level 3.
I quite comprehend everything you said but it seems you didn't get my question right . I will rephrase it . Now, the question is , I'm using a coperative union bank statement and my uncle is the president . In the letter of sponsor , what reason can I state inside that , makes me connected with the coperative and why they wan to sponsor me ? That's the question I need answer for . Like , if there are cases like that where someone used coperative union account

bigm101:

Wow! Okay, for the last time.. Coperative union society are like group of people that comes together like a club or something , they contribute money together and lend every members. My uncle is the president . He's my sponsor but he's using the coperative union society account . Now, what kind of relationship can I write in the letter that connects me to the society on why they want to sponsor me .. E.g, like scholarship or something . Do you have any experience like this , please ?

Hello,

I have concluded the research. Flinders University seems to be only school with my course in a "regional area". Though, I'm particularly not impressed with their ranking. Hey, what if I run a 1.5 years Masters and then a Certificate programme in a "regional area", would this help (count towards nomination point) in any way? I will dig deeper and come up with a decision as soon as possible. Thanks again for your info. It sure helps! God bless you.

bellong:


Yeah.. I was referring to when he returned from his long term sabbatical. The politics in the department forced him to go for a long time according to rumours and gist.

Are you living in isolation there? Are there no humans you can talk to?

Make friends with people of other race, culture and gender, then you wouldn't be bored.

I know it seems I'm biased towards QUT because it's my School but it won't hurt to check it out eh?

FutureDon:


Hahaha, I see where the rivalry between UQ and QUT students come from. The fact is, UQ, a top world university, supersedes QUT in all major rankings, grants approval rates, research output etc. No doubt, QUT is also a good institution.

bigm101:
Hi,
Thank you. I understand you now. Maybe, o will just use my Aunt's bank account and she can stand as my sponsor . But , the question I am still asking stated in the form 157A, " how are you planning to access your funds in Australia"? Should I say " through my Aunt? Since she's my sponsor ? I don't understand the answer to the question. Or can I just say " bank transfer "? Please., help me out there . I'm planning to submit my application this week

bellong:
