Australia don’t do scholarships or bonanza

They also gives scholarship on tuition fees. Ranges from 10 -50% discount or scholarship on tuition fees....

I think there are very few schools in Nigeria that the AQF matches their bachelor degrees to be equivalent to their own Bsc. It doesn't matter if you attended the most expensive private university in Nigeria.
Only the ffg schools can assess its degree to be equivalent to aussie first degree.
OAU, UI, UNILAG, FUTA...







Hello, please can you assist me?. Am trying to access using ACS from a Private University[/quote]

Finally CoE has arrived, next up Visa application. Please do we have any one here studying in University of Tasmania? i would like to know about your visa application process. Thanks guys for all the help so far, i have been following this thread since January 2019 till date and all the information i got from this thread simplified my application process big time. keep it up guys i also look forward to contributing and helping someone out there when mine finally clicks

Congrats to you. Your Visa grant will be swift.

Good evening family and friends.
It is quite some time now, I have been reading through the threads. I have these questions.
Firstly, let me explain what I have been up to since.
I got a 25% scholarship grant on tuition for M.sc in cybersecurity at the university of technology, Sydney, Australia sometimes in August. I have been given till 30th of Nov. 2019 to pay my deposit of A$14,520. I have a big brother in Sydney who will be willing go accomodate me for the whole study period. He is also willing to support me with some stipend.
I am also pursuing PR route awaiting opening of 491 Visa class. But unfortunately, my pte test I took today was not good for PR route. LRSW: 55:61:58:61, I understand this can only fly for studies which I might be using.
I also understand that if UtS were go be in a regional area i would have advantage for PR.
My question is what do I do? I am really very confused right now. Whether to proceed with the admission or sit for another pte to hit 85+ in all band for PR route. I have another fear, how will I be able to gather another N3.6m in 3months while studying to pay for my tuition fees? Has anyone here know someone who has taking this kind of risk?
IT occupations are very very competitive for PR route on offshore. I also have plans to take up a study in a regional area after MSC.
Please I need your candid advice and views on my situation.
I am married with a kid.
I am 35 while my wife is 28.
I work with a govt agency. Since uts is an AL1 institution, do I need to provide my bank acc? Or that of my brother who's in Sydney?

Tuition fees of WSU seems cheaper than UTS. UTS will still refer you to an agent don t worry. You have only done first leg by submitting an online application @$AUD100. The next letter you will get is for you to appoint one of their agents in Nigeria to help you complete the remaining process.
Yes UTS is AL1 school, it's a small school and also new compare to WSU. You know what you stand to gain if you chose AL1? hence the choice is yours!!!
UTS average tuition fee can be as high as AUD$45k
and as low as AUD $35k

Danie08:
Hello house I need your advise here .
I just received a study offer at Western Sydney university (MSc project management).
My application to university of technology Sydney (MSc project management) is still in process .
My question here is will UTS be a better option cos it's an AL1 school while WSU is AL2.
Am asking this because my application to WUS was done by an agent while UTS accepts direct applications.
So the agent is already advising I accept the offer .

Firstly, Your CGPA is very ok for Masters programme.
What qualifies you?
1. Close relationship of your previous studies to the proposed course (Masters)
2. Have you been working in your course of study?
3. Do you have the fund?
4. are you going for Masters Coursework or Research? If research it requires 1st Class or 2:1 with a previous good research project.
5. Universities in AL1 May or may not requires IELTS or any other eng test. However, if you wish to apply for any of the available conversion visa 189/190/491; you will still need the English test at a very high band say 7/8 equivalent in PTE or ielts. So, why not just do the English test now? I advise people to take PTE.
6. Your personal statement /Letter of Motivation must be well written or tailored to your chosen course of study with well outlined expected skills you would acquire at the end of the programme. Your personal statement must indicate that you are returning home after your studies even if that wouldn't be the case.
7. If your choice is for Master (Coursework) then, your 2:2 is good to go. But note most AL1 schools in Aussie are very expensive. You must be prepared to work and manage your studies altogether...
8. .....

Hello great gurus in the house.

Please I want to confirm.

Graduated with a cgpa of 3.48(a 2.2)equivalent to 5.0 here and I was told I can’t apply to AL1 schools e.g Macquarie University and University of south Assuie due to me not having a 2.1 here in Nigeria.

I am avoiding writing ielts

Please how true is it house,thank you.

Asetime:
Some provinces only need you to be in the pool with sufficient scores for you to get an invitation. Few weeks back, on this thread some people got invitations for PNP. Try to invest alot of time in reading as you will have many more questions and some questions MAY not be answered here because they have been over flogged.

[color=#000099][/color]

Muito Obrigado...
(Thank you very much)

[quwote author=Asetime post=81962494]

Thanks so much.
Yes, I have earlier check through PNP. The problem is they all required ties to those provinces. I have a brothers in Canada but not in those provinces.
Is there any hope without a tie to certain province?


Okay, I'll be a bit blunt though. Your age and Marital Status would drastically reduce ur CRS despite having years of experience and having multiple degrees. Your Spouse on the other hand is in the "catchment" age but has a small experience quotient and limited number of degrees. My advice is, play with the CRS calculator. You can simulate scores for both your self and wife in multiple ways as you deem fit. Since you are in the tech industry, u may get nominated for PNP too. Infact that would really guarantee you an ITA. You'll still need to do alot of personal research to guide u. However, if you calmly read through this thread, you will understand in no time.[/quote]

What is the fake news?

Mehnn I am not sure if any has. But I think anyone who passed the test will be invited. That test was so difficult for me that day I must say. For anyone to be invited means such person must be very smart and was able to run through those questions...
All the best to you all ooooo. I rejoice with you from my heart

mRlewizy:
Any invite for computer hardware engineering

Wow!....Congrats to him. He must be a smart guy. All the best to him

We are awaiting the new subclass Visa 491. Praying it favours us all. But who knows what points will be given ITA.
.

Has anyone been invited for an oral interview from WAEC yet?

How did they know you were denied US visa before? Do they communicate with US Embassy? Please I want to know. Thanks

Teetee09:
Hello house, I applied for an Australian student visa last month and I got a message from immi today. They noticed I didn’t indicate a US visit visa refusal I had about two years ago, but I indicated that of UK which was quite recent. They are requesting for an explanation. Pls house, will it be better for me to totally withdraw this application to prevent another refusal? Or can I still get a grant after the explanation? Honestly it was an oversight on my part. Pls, urgent answers or suggestions are needed. Tanx.

I was even thinking the test would be more on your professional Area. Don't know how IT relates to Biology.
Anyway, let's wait to know what the cut-off will be. All power belongs to the most high....

I am not sure they have started sending invites for next level interview.
The time alloted were quite small for the exam

Yusuph05:
Pls, has anyone got invited for Accountant II for interview

Hello,
You can check for some schools on AL1. They run what is called "Graduate Diploma programs that will allow you have access to M.eng in your preferred Area." after one year. The course is designed to run for 12months.

Lovemark2000:
Please help me make a good decision. I currently work in dubai and I am about applying to a school in Australia. I had a 3rd class degree from Electronic Engineering Unn and i graduated around 2014. I have a Ielts score of 7.5 overall and my age is 31. Normally i would have applied for an msc ptogramme in Elrctronic Engineering buh due to my 3rd class degree , i am not sure i will be admitted by any university into thier Msc programme so chose to apply to a TAFE diploma programme instead with a pathway to degree. Many of the Tafe Institutions i checked online all have numerous agencies here in dubai buh am yet to visit any yet. The expences and tafe tuition fees which i checked online is within my budget of 4million which i have saved so far and i have a bank statement from an uncle who resides in Nigeria and a brother that lives in America too
So i will like to know about my chances of getting the diploma admission considering my age and also if there is any university that will admit me into thier masters programme even if its through pgd with 3rd class 2.3/5.0 cgpa. Please help guys

Moshabiola:

I got

All the best to us all. Cheers

Thanks so much Sir West. By God's Grace, I shall do my best to make sure he doesn't regret his kindness towards me.
I will support him in any way I can - that's my desire.
Life is not bells of roses anywhere, it's struggling here and there for those of us who has to fend for themselves and tried to create a better future for our unborn children. I don't want my children to suffer what I have suffered as child, adult, student, after school and searching for jobs.
Life in this world can be tiring and difficult. Some people just have it all around them they do not have to suffer nothing.
I don't want to be disturbed. I am focused an never deterred.�

WestAfrican:
It's definitely not easy like he stated. In lot of cases one thing has to suffer, either studies or earning money. You may also be able to marry both together if you're a better planner.

Am yet to hear a situation were immigration had to deport someone for over working their hours. Hence, I have seen where some people were stopped from entering the country after going on holidays overseas due to not enrolling for that semester and going over the required work hours.

I am very sure you will be fine in Sydney. Having a place to put your head makes it even better. Do not leave the burden of paying the house rental and other utilities on your brother thereby taking advantage of him. Support him, work with him, respect him, seek advice from him but not him alone.

Godspeed.

Said it's not easy but that people are surviving it. He said and I quote: "There is never a better time to do great things, nor is there anytime taking risk would be easier but it's solely on the person." He added that I know what I want them I should go for it. As for him, he's willing to render me all housing assistance for the rest of my study period till am strong enough to stand on my own he said.....









The immigration law stipulate you work 20hrs/Fortnight during school section and unlimited hours during your holiday. Am unsure on what visa brought your brother to Australia and how he managed to survive. Having said that, alot of students over work to cover tuition and living expenses which the immigration and school are well aware of.
It becomes a problem when you fail to enrol in a Semester/Trimester without a proper leave of absence from your Uni or you defer numerous times, immigration may want you to give them a compassionate or compelling reason(s) why your visa shouldn't be cancelled.

Ask your brother how foreign students are thriving in Sydney[/quote][color=#006600][/color]

[color=#000099][/color]
Please can you advice on how you went about the proof of fund for Visa application? I mean the demonstration of fund they usually request for? Thanks

ofemi77:
I prayed about visa grant deliveries this week with few people saying Amen.. and as hilarious as our God may be, He started the delivery with me! #Obaaseyiowu

MEDICAL: 28th May
VISA APPLICATION : 18th June
BIOMETRIC: 19th June.. (it would surprise you I did my biometric twice.... firstly on 18th June, then was called that my biometric wasn't successfully delivered, Australian government had to call VFS to call me for another one... was the only one called back for it out of the 31 people that did biometric on 18th June) .... You too see say my village people tried, but the God of Oyedepo pass them... Lol

CO contact: 31st July (requested for a new CoE)
New CoE uploaded : 2nd August
Visa Grant: 6th August

The visa dropped while I was on phone with my agent.. we were gisting , Lo and behold, he just shouted "ofemi o ti jade o" ....naso I began dance skelewu and now, I've switched to naira Marley.. Lol

For someone out there discouraged and trying to throw in the towel, let my testimony be enough to spark hope in you.. I got denied by Czech Rep in 2015 and US last August. Today marks it a year and two days those bastard at Walter Carrighton knack me "hammer" for head... but today, just see what the Lord has done.
Lemme say it again, all hopefuls will smile IJN.

Oya ni Deakin oo.. Iyalaya daddy mummy daddy won! Lol

I would rather suggest we concentrate more on preparation than worrying about venues. We didn't asked earlier to send us invite you know?
Please let's talk more on preparation. We will all get it by Gods grace.






This is not good at all... Test is next tomorrow yet no venue. Doesn't make sense[/quote]

Please friends!!
Who has idea about how one can go about the $20850AUD required by DHA for students as demonstration of access to fund for the study period?
Anyone who has gotten visa please educate us. Thanks

I will strongly advice you to go with deakin university offer. You will relate your seamless experience in securing your student Visa here at the end of the day. DHA is very concern about the relationship of your chosen courses in respect of your previous study.

bligs:
Deakin over La Trobe in securing visa with less stress, Social work over Health and Human services management in getting PR after study.

Yeah, thanks. That's what I am working out now. It's been very positive.
Thanks for your timely advice...





Why not worry on how to raise the tuition fee. This should be ur main concern for now.[/quote]

Congrats. I hope it doesn't turn out to be like that of nnpc. After we prepared so hard only to see that the questions were actually very cheap but never prepared for those ones. Anyways, good past questions on this matter can help to streamline our preparation like these verbal reasoning, logical, etc

molybdenum0012:
I got an invite too. Assistance Register II, Physics.


How do we prepare for this online test?

Which should we concentrate on?

GMAT aptitude test?
Subject matter area?
Current affairs and general knowledge?
Math and English?
