Please the gurus in the house... My wife studied Industrial chemistry,I want her to study Nursing in Australia, with plan of getting pR, is anybody in QUt doing the same course,? How do we go about it, am looking at 2018 as she is presently pregnant. Secondly which option will be the best for her, was thinking of graduate nursing but someone was advising her to go for Nursing that way PR will not be an issue.

Did she get to study physiology and anatomy in her first degree? Most schools will require her to have a background in physiology and anatomy before she can be admitted. In some cases she may be required to do those course separately before her main course commences.

Click on this URL and search for graduate nursing or nursing courses to see the difference in tuition.

If I were you, I would also consider finding a job after my course. Will employers give more preference to someone who studies a degree in nursing or someone who has a graduate degree without an actual nursing background?

Do your research on that and make an informed decision.

What is the average cost of both options, Note we will joining her later with the kids @bellong @westafrican any help or contact will be appreciated. We want to start in time


To get a rough estimate, get the tuition fees and add it to the cost of rent ($130- $250 a week depending on where she will be leaving) plus $150-$200 for food and transportation per week plus miscellaneous (air ticket, visa fees and medicals)

Thanks so much.

Flinders university has a graduate entry option for non social work gradautes. I.e you can gain a Masters qualification in social Work even if your BSc isn’t related to social work
http://www.flinders.edu.au/courses/rules/postgrad/msw/

graduates of courses listed here are eligible to for membership with Ausstrlian association of social workers
https://www.aasw.asn.au/careers-study/accredited-courses

a word of advise, always read the course information properly, check accreditation status and if it confers eligibility to register with the respective professional body,e.g there are some Master of nursing courses offered to international students which don’t confer eligibility to practice as a nurse in ~Australia. Same goes for teaching, for Masters level students, if you’re aiming to register with the Teaching professional organisation in Australia, then you should enrol on the master / post grad diploma of teaching and not EDUCATION

Thanks a lot! Very much helpful

IHate9ja1:

Hello good people!
Been reading through this thread since I got introduced to it last week and I deeply appreciate all the infos i've gathered so far.

Pls I have a couple of questions... I plan to travel to Aussie for studies in July but I'm yet to start processing my admission; I'm looking to change the name on my Int'l passport to include my hubby's own so he can be granted spousal visa. Can I apply for the admission with my current passport and then notify the school when the new one is ready so it can be updated and used in the COE? I was told the new passport will take about 6-8weeks to be ready.

Yes you can apply for the for admission with your old passport. Remember to include your partner's name on the list of people who will be traveling with you, then inform them when your new passport comes out so they can reissue you a new ecoe.


Secondly, is it true UNSW doesn't grant Masters of Social Works to Int'l students? I got my first degree (3.33GPA) from Uniben in Int'l Studies & Diplomacy. I'm interested in AL1 schools in Sydney (Social Works or International Law)


I doubt they won't be enrolling international students for master of counselling social work. If you have your first degree in international studies and diplomacy, what is the correlationship with social work? I think you would have to have studies a degree in social work to gain admission in master' of social work.
Look for a course related to your first degree or go for an undergraduate degree in social work.



Pls kindly help a sis out. Cc @WESTAFRICAN

please my fellow beloved Nigerians on this thread, I humbly ask for assistance for a ''convincing letter of sponsorship from a son's inlaw'' which has facilitated Visa approval so far..It's not as if we don't know what to write but our concern is how convincing it would appear to convince and facilitate visa approval on my behalf since there is enough income from my sponsor(inlaw) for.

Stanleyelege:
Thanks West Africa.

I just received my coE today. Before I continue, I say thanks and God bless you.

Pls Can I go on with my visa application.

However my genuine intention is to get the visa and maybe defer when it comes out. I just want to get the visa just like a small boy who have just gotten a new school bag on Saturday and can't wait for Monday to storm school with his new sch bag. (u know d kid wil cry if he learns that d school has extended resumption date)

Honestly my friends there advised I defer but fear of what might happen with visa policy is scaring me. This is the first time I'm getting a CoE after paying to 2 schools before who kept insisting I produce a statement of account. Now I ve d money lodged in my account and I know the good Samaritan who helped me won't agree to leave his money for too long in my account.
Should I continue with the visa and defer when it's out?

In the absence of West Africa, any available person should kindly advice.

Rgds

NO problem ma you can PM me

mctowel01:
Bro, you made sense, but you spoilt it with the word "kindness". Honestly, there is no kindness in his offer, he is simply bargaining or exploiting as much as he can from the market and there is no problem with it if you look at it from the business standpoint... "Its a choice..You either agree or you walk off"
. However, the underlying misunderstanding is that this thread has a foundation of being regardful and sensitive to the situation of our fellow members, thats the spirit that has grown this thread, hence such bargain will reek of insensitivity and to some extent, selfishness.
Nonetheless, it ultimately remains a choice and no coercion to agree to the offer or not. Its a free world.
. Peace bro!.

Stanleyelege:
Thanks so much.

Pls is it possible to atleast apply for visa and later defer when d visa is out.
This is d 4th time I am having similar issue .
Schools will just be delaying me unnecessarily and my ielts expires in April

Stanleyelege:
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?

bikky215:
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?
