NEW SOUTH WALES KATIE FORSYTHE


Based on the East coast of Australia, the state of New South Wales (NSW) is an enticing prospect for international students. The state’s capital is Sydney, one of the most recognised cities in the world, and is home to many famous sights including the Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Away from city life, New South Wales has World Heritage areas and boasts more than 780 national parks ranging from rainforests, stunning waterfalls and rugged bush to outback deserts and marine wonderlands. With such a diverse range of attractions, as well as great weather and a laid back atmosphere, NSW is a great choice for postgraduate study. The options for study in New


South Wales are many and it is one of the most popular destinations for international students across the world. The length of postgraduate courses is usually one year, but this can vary between institution and subject area. Fees can also differ depending on where you decide to study, so it’s worth checking individual courses thoroughly before deciding where to embark on a course. Most institutions offer scholarships for international students and details can be found on the individual universities’ websites.


As well as Master’s courses, Australian universities also offer Graduate Diplomas, Postgraduate Diplomas and PhD programs. Specialist business schools also


offer MBAs, which are a popular choice. These qualifications are recognised across the world and are a great step in your career prospects.


There are two types of Master’s programs: Master’s by coursework or Master’s by research. The coursework options are taught courses which combine lectures, seminars and tutorials (much like UK undergraduate degrees) with field/lab work where necessary. Master’s by research tend to be independent research projects, and some can be upgraded to a PhD. Some Masters courses offer a combination of the two, with the research usually undertaken as a final project.
