Australia provides a lot of freedom for those who want to study Master in Australia in Australia. How not, international students are not only given the opportunity to work part time, a husband / wife brought to Australia can also work. In fact, you were given 2 years after graduating from college to decide what you want to do in Australia.

Students who plan to study Master in Australia, whether they are still undergraduate or working, are often confused. What are the stages of Masters registration abroad? Where to start? When is the application period?

So, what do you need to know about Masters in Austaralia? Check the guide below.

Specify the specialization field

We must know what we want academically, career goals, or personal. For example, “I want an MBA program that focuses on entrepreneurship”, or “I like development studies with an urban approach, not economics.” 

From there we can get a handle on the Master program that we are looking for. If you are still in doubt, you can search for a description of what majors you can explore in accordance with your interests.

Look for available Master programs

Find out which campus is superior in your specialization. We can check the reputation of campus rankings globally or subject matter in QS University Ranking or Times Higher Education publications.

Check the programs that are of interest

Check curriculum, research clusters, potential supervisors, teaching team publications (highly recommended!), Job prospects, the alumni network.

Selected Majors

Whatever your Bachelor major is, you can apply to a different major in Australia. And this is very suitable for those who want to change careers abroad. However, for some majors that require expertise such as teachers, engineering, medicine, and nursing, you must have the same majors. Of course, each university has different requirements for the course you choose. So, consult what you want and match the entry requirements in the course.

Choose a school

Australia has many leading universities that you can choose. For many people, many considerations are usually considered when choosing this school. For example the location of the school, curriculum, etc. You can go directly to the university website that you want, but if you need help finding a suitable university, we can help. You only need to fill in your personal data beside / below. Our consultants will contact you as soon as possible.

What is the program requirements?

For the latest and most accurate information, we must check the program’s official website. Some important requirements that you should not miss are:

• Passport
• Academic qualification requirements: Bachelor certificate
• Transcripts
• GPA
• Foreign Language Certification: IELTS, TOEFL. etc
• Letter of recommendation
• Essay
• CV (curriculum vitae) / Resume
• Portfolios, or certain certifications if applicable (such as GMAT, GRE etc.)

The above documents will later be sent to your university, to later get a letter of acceptance from the campus you are going to. But for this, you need someone who can translate all these documents into English. You can ask for help from a notary, or an Australian education agent.

Check the registration deadline

Courses generally begin in the intake of February/March, however, there are additional intakes for June/July intake. As a general rule, register as early as possible because many campuses open registration on a rolling basis, meaning that they will review applications that come first and inform the results to applicants first as well, without waiting for the registration deadline.

Contact lecturer / supervisor for recommendation letter

A good recommendation letter is one that can provide an in-depth academic assessment of us, not generic because the letter is valuable as support to the program that we meet the academic expectations and challenges of the Masters.

Letters of recommendation are often not in the form of “letters” but links to lists of questions or entries that will be sent directly by the campus to e-mail givers of recommendations. If you need a recommendation from a lecturer, make it a habit to contact the lecturers politely.

Create a registration account

Almost all campus registrations are online. In this account, we will be asked to fill out personal data, upload required documents, and essays or research proposals. We are also asked for the name, address, email, and contact of the recommendation provider (referee). Make sure they are willing before we enter their data.

Letters of recommendation can be requested in the form of uploaded documents (so we ask the submitter to type the document, sign it, then scan) or a link sent directly by the system to the recommendation giver’s email. So, please check first in this account before asking the lecturer / supervisor to make recommendations in the form of physical documents. This account data can always be saved for gradual updating.

Prepare a personal statement / letter

In general, personal statements contain sides about our research interests, what makes us interested in the campus / program / research, why we deserve to enter the campus / program. This document can be requested in the form of a physical document or question form that we fill out, which we will know when we create a registration account.

It is recommended, we prepare this essay since in Step 1, because it takes a long time to find ideas, ask others to provide input and check grammar. The point is that this essay can be used for registration of several programs, just a little change according to the program’s purpose. So, when we need to enter the data into the account, we are ready.

Pay the registration fee (if applicable)

Usually registration fees are requested via debit, credit or Paypal cards. The fee can be free, depending on campus policy. The name of the debit card may not be the same as the registrant’s name. Save proof of payment.

Wait for results

The results of your registration can be known via email or account registration within 2-12 weeks. Always check your e-mail and account.

Step 1 usually starts 12 months from the scheduled start of college. So if you plan to go to college in July 2020, you have to start from July 2019! Give time also for preparation of IELTS / TOEFL independently or at tutoring, tests, and waiting for the results because it takes about 2-3 months for that.

Pay the tuition fee

The tuition fee depends on where you study, and how long you will take this Masters. Usually on the university’s website you can get information about the tuition fees.

Visa process

After school registration is complete, all you need next is to get a visa for the Australian Imgration. All you need to prepare is proof of administration such as family card, ID card, etc. (according to the list provided). For the process itself, from the beginning of the consultation to the end, it will take around 2-3 months. Because in Australia there are openings around February and July, you at least have to apply for college 2-3 months in advance.
