The University of Western Australia [An Unbiased Review by Choosing Your Uni]

[@MrGlenspace]

Stumbled on this site. As an American I am impressed with the beauty and high quality of the universities in Australia. However, no mention of the cost.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Ah! Now that’s an interesting point! I’ve been mostly filming these with Australian high school students in mind. Fees for Australian students are the same amount across all universities, based on the discipline. Eg law and medicine are more expensive, arts degrees are cheaper - but they cost the same regardless of university (excluding the 2-3 private unis we have - most unis are public). However, I’ve noted that quite a few of my audience are from overseas, so this would be good for them to know. Will definitely bear it in mind when filming future reviews. Thanks!

[@venessavillanueva2453]

Ranges from 7-10k per year depending on which course or university you choose, commonwealth supported students get HECS, which is essentially a student loan, with almost no interest which does not have to be paid back until the individuals income reaches a certain threshold.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

That’s right for Australian students. For international students it’s a lot more - $20k+ per year. All details are on each uni’s website

[@will9678]

Thanks Rob for making this video! The first time I watched it was when I was still in highschool deciding which uni to go. Few years later I have just finished my first semester in UWA as an undergrad student and I couldn't be anymore happier.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Super happy to hear this Will. Glad I could help out in some small way. Say g'day if you ever see me around on campus!

[@mormongirlnv]

Thank you so much for your videos I am a non Australian looking to potentially study here or Murdoch and loved these videos. They really give a better feel for what the campus would be like for someone who does not have the resources to fly out to several campuses before attending.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Glad to hear it! Please subscribe because I have at least 3 depth interviews with Murdoch students that I'll be releasing over the coming month or so. I think you'll love them - we go really deep on the things you've definitely got to try at the university, what it's like living in Perth etc. Would love you to see those too! The first should be out in the next week (maybe sooner).

I am in my first Master's Semester, studying English and Spanish language, culture, and translation. My mother tongue is German. I had a look at most Australian universities, and talked to their representatives. I think UWA suits me best. Thank you very much for your videos, now I have a better idea of what the Unis are like! :) I am really excited to go to Australia!

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Bitte! Good choice. UWA is an awesome uni. I mention UWA in my latest video: what is Australia’s top university? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGO1mYOFarqKrtU

I am from oversea, and got accepted into UWA and Monash. I haven’t really make up my mind, to be honest. Any insight on both universities will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Congratulations- both are excellent universities. What are you looking to study? Also, what kinds of things do you like doing outside the classroom? Do you like big cities or smaller cities?

[@michellepamela4445]

A Life That Travels hello, I think I will go to UWA since the cost of living in Perth seems to be cheaper than Melbourne, but thank you for the reply and the videos that you are making! It helps a lot, so thank you once again 🙏🏼

[@ali_tafa006]

With all the lukewarm reviews and feels about ex-students of this university, a lot usually complain about the poor quality of being a post-graduate and it's work intensive environment. I'm planning to go to UWA and actually have found out what this university really is. All universities aren't perfect. Every single one will have its flaws, and it really depends on your attitude towards the work you do in the university you're in and if you're putting the effort and commitment into it. With UWA, what I gathered is that it solely depends on your course and your teacher. If you're doing a course that requires you to be 'work intensive' in the workforce, expect the course or bachelor to be work intensive. With the combined course I want to do, a lot of people say it's enjoyable, especially if you're really into what the bachelor course has to offer. Overall, university is for those who really will put their time and commitment into the work they do. Don't come to UWA if you're not ready for that, not saying that people who are 'academically challenged' can't get into university, it's just that everyone has their own method into getting into the workforce, and university is just one of them.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Good advice Lou. You always get out what you put in. 👍

[@bmedits9874]

I live in Perth, thinking of either studying Criminology at UWA or ECU, or counselling at Notre Dame :)

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Those are some interesting choices. There's definitely going to be some overlap between the two programs. What criteria are you using to decide which one you'll pick?

[@bmedits9874]

@@ChoosingYourUni well for the longest time i've wanted to be a criminal psychologist, but i'm not interested in studying psychology. Criminology seems really amazing, but I'm also not interested in any of the career opportunities that the degree would take me. Notre Dame University in Fremantle looks amazing, and I've always wanted to help others! I'm 16 currently in year 11 doing my ATARS so i'm not really in any rush to decide, but I like planning ahead :)

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Respect to you. You’re right - there’s no rush to decide. You can also try different things and change if they don’t work out. Social work sounds like a good place for you to start. If you want to help people, you could also start with an even more general degree, like arts and science, and explore topics about humanity: anthropology, social sciences, history. And while you’re at it do some internships, volunteer and even do an exchange. It might mean you take an extra 6 months to finish your degree because you try many things. But That breadth of experiences will help you narrow down what you’re truly interested in. Most people do it the other way around. They do a narrow degree, rush out to work and take 5-10 years working out that they don’t like the career they’ve chosen! Better to take the time up front, not rush, and narrow it down than to rush in. It sounds from your brief description, though, that you’re very pragmatic. Respect. Good things come to people who look ahead.

I've gotten offers from UWA and University of Queensland for Masters in IT and am really confused about choosing the right one. Queensland is ranked higher and has great reviews but Perth is a much better place to live in. Please let me know which one is better in your opinion.

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Yeah, I think you've nailed it. tbh, I love both Brisbane and Perth. If it were me, I'd probably lean towards UQ right now, but you wouldn't be unhappy at UWA imo!

I am going to study my masters in sports and exercise science in July this year. Can you please help me out with a little more information or review about this particular course in UWA?

[@ChoosingYourUni]

Hi Twinkle, at this stage I'm not going to be able to do individual course reviews. You should be able to get some information about the faculty, at least, on www.qilt.edu.au. Search for UWA then the relevant faculty and you can see student satisfaction and other data. That site has official Australian Government data. You can find specific information on Graduate Outcomes (i.e. what students actually get out of particular universities etc) here: www.qilt.edu.au/about-this-site/graduate-employment Please subscribe to my channel as well and I'll keep producing more detailed videos as I go.

Depends on exactly which classes you take and how many courses you take at one time. Sciences courses often have lab/practical work associated with them so have a higher course load than other degrees - I'd be estimating you'll be in class (or doing associated work) for at least 25 hours a week.
