What are your individual band score
Dear Sir ,
I am an Indian student pursuing a law degree ( BA.LLB) under the Bangalore University , who is looking forward for an LLM degree by course work in Australia. I have an overall of 65% along with having an overall band of 7 in Ielts ( writing i have least with a band score of 6 ). However the English language requirement should not be a problem, as have checked. Looking for the following Universities in a sequence based on my priority:-
1) Melbourne University
2) Sydney Law school
3) University of New South Wales
4) University of Queensland
Are there any chances of me getting in the above? and is my Ielts score sufficient to apply for a work permit later on ? I am currently in my final semester and looking for the July 2013 intake…however my results will be out on June 29 ( can only submit Provisional Degree Certificate)..would this pose any trouble…cause I ll be having very little time left ?
You can check the entry requirements for getting admission in these Universities,IELTS is fine.If your result is coming on June 29 ,how will you apply for July Intake ? It will be difficult.

I am intersted in Meng in Univ of Melbourne, or ANU or NSW. What are my chances to get in. Will I get scholarship. Is it better to apply for Feb or July intake
Yes,you can apply.
Hello, i got my ielts for overall band 5.5 with 5.5Listening, 5.5Writing, 6.5Reading, 5Speaking. i’d like to continue to study about information technology.
What do you think the best college for information technology? I’ve been considering 3 universities. They are : Curtin University, Swinburne and Murdoch(murdoch univ needs 6.0 for overall band which is the lowest score)
actually i prefer to choose Murdoch now as the cheapest. But is it a good university for me? Thanks
All 3 universities are government universities of Australia. Perth is one of the booming city. You will have wonderful outcome from any of the 3 unviersities. Murdoch is a good university choice.

i have 8 bands in ielts..i have applied for master in engineering management/master in software in UTS..but due to backlogs i am given a packaged course by the university which has a graduate degree and mem/mes..i have a condition of a cut off of 65% in graduate degree..the course has the sam duration as the original course for 2 years…so i want to know will both the courses have the same value????
and what are the future prospects after completing education from UTS
All students are required to complete same number of credit points in order to get the degree. You will be given degree once you have completed the required credit points however this may have been structred differently because of your grades and backlogs. The course has good career prospects.
