Before I talk about Admission and Scholarship in Australia, let me prepare your mind by telling you why Australia is a very nice place to consider.
RT and Tag your friends here now while you grab a cup of coffee😍:
1. As a masters student, you can work for 20hrs per week, and as a PhD student, you can work for unlimited hours. Also, your spouse can work full time.
2. Stipend for masters and PhD is around 28,000 AUD per year, which can take care of your needs as a family, coupled with your
extra work. This money is paid fortnightly in your account. Meaning that you get alert every 2 weeks😍😎.
3. Australia has different scholarship route which includes:
If you have Admission WITHOUT funding, gather here, let me tell you how to go about it.
RT and tag your friends; digest this important info.
Let's go:
FACTS:
1. You can get admission for sure if you meet the minimum qualifications. However, scholarship decisions will be based on the available budget.
Departments/Schools may have some assigned budgets for a particular semester. So, you will be competing with many other people
who have been given admission already. Hence, the scholarship may not get to you.
2. This means that you have to either source for the money, get to the school, and hustle, or look for agencies that can give you grants. You and I know that this is very tedious.
1. Go to University pages in different countries of the world, look for your course, and email professors in your field. (This is the best and most efficient).
Everything you need to achieve this is described in my pinned tweets 1-10.
2. Look for Government-funded Scholarships in different countries of the world. Check their criteria, and apply.
I have explained how to get fully-funded scholarships in Sweden, Germany, France, UAE, Australia, Poland, Norway, Japan,etc. Check my pinned tweets again.
Note that this method is more competitive because it is already public.
3. Look for advertised Positions by Lecturers or Departments: Sometimes, lecturers advertise scholarship positions in their labs. We usually post many of this on this street. Send emails to the lecturers
Guys; has promised, if you know anyone preparing for an interview with a proposed supervisor, gather here and let me teach you something innovative.
RT and Tag your friends.
Let's go:
Do you know it will be superb impressive if you can make a mini PowerPoint before you engage with any supervisor on your plans and things you know about his lab?
I think it will make an incredible impression on the supervisor as it will give him a mental image of your
capabilities and it will sell you well.
Being innovative is key in this journey.
So, what should be in the PowerPoint:
1. Introduce yourself 2. Discuss your research Interests 3. Explain what you have done and what you currently do (related to the Prof's work)
Tag your friends, RT and take chilled iced water, and read carefully as I explore the OFS Scholarship for anyone interested in Data Science and AI in the UK.
