G’day,
As will give you some info abt Australian study, since that’s the only thing that I have knowledge of.
It is possible to take double-degree in Australian universities. Lots of international students take that option. However please be advised that to study double-degree you will have to add an extra year from the longest degree you will study in. In your case, BE is a 4yrs course and BBA (usually called BBus or BCommerce in Australia) is a 3yrs course. If you are taking double-degree in BE and BBA, your course length will be 5yrs in total (1yr extra on top of BE). Pls dun ask me abt the details since I cannot inform you over this forum… too complicated, but that’s the rule for double-degree course. This include the double-degree course at UTS.
There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and they are tightly regulated, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content.
There are quite alot of Australian universities offering Engineering and Business to international students. The thing is you need to know what specialisation do you want to study in Engineering (eg mechanical/computing/electrical etc) and in Business (eg accounting/marketing/HRM/finance etc) so you can narrow down your university selection. To find out the course that you are taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to Dept of Education, Science and Technology () and IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au). IDP is an organisation that gives information to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. You need to make sure what psychology you want to study. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification.
Living cost… Sydney and Canberra have the highest living cost, followed by Melbourne & Brisbane, then Perth, Darwin, Adelaide & Tasmania the lowest. I am attaching a weblink from one of the uni in Melbourne as an indication.
For scholarship, check for Australian Government scholarship programs.
One thing for sure… if the college in Pune you’re talking abt already has bad reputation, then why even think abt study there? You’ll never got anything much out of it, and I dun think future employer will think highly abt u when they know you are graduated from those colleges.
Hope this helps. Good luck for your study
