Currently studying a Bachelors of Industrial Design in Australia. Someone I know did the same course but has been having problems finding a job after she had to leave her previous one for personal reasons. Would you advise me to stay in the country and get a job here or transfer to Europe for the rest of my degree and seek work there. Even though it is said Australia is one of the best countries when studying and getting a job relatively easy in product design, it doesn't seem to be the case from my perspective. Don't sugar coat but please advise thanks!

Ans: Considering the difficulties your acquaintance encountered, it would be wise to remain in Australia and acquire practical skills, as the domestic job market still presents potential prospects. Nevertheless, if you are receptive to novel encounters and have a keen interest in the European design business, relocating to Europe could be a feasible alternative. Prior to making a decision, it is important to take into account elements such as employment market changes, personal preferences, and long-term professional aspirations.

My son has done his BBCA from MIT (ATSC affiliated to Pune University) and was placed with an MNC AMDOCS Pune where he would complete two years of job ex in Aug 23. We are of the opinion that he should do his masters from some good college in Australia, Ireland or Germany. 1. Which country would you recommend (is there widespread racism in the last mentioned?)? 2. Should he apply for a job in these countries and do his masters part time or study full time and work part time?
Ans: Hello Ajoy,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. The following details could be useful:

1. The choice of a country for master's study depends on a number of variables, such as the standard of education, employment prospects, cost of living, and cultural milieu. International students seeking higher education often choose to study in Australia, Ireland, or Germany. Each country has its unique set of advantages and disadvantages:
• Australia: Australia, which is renowned for its excellent educational system and diversified cultural environment, places a heavy focus on research and innovation. While racism does exist in some Australian communities, it is not pervasive, and the majority of colleges have policies in place to support diversity and inclusivity.

• Ireland: Ireland is renowned for its extensive literary and cultural past, and its educational system is well-regarded. Racism does occur in some nations, including Ireland, however it is typically thought to be less pervasive than in some other nations.

• Germany: German universities are well-known for their robust engineering and technology programs, and several of them offer courses in English. Although isolated acts of racism and discrimination might happen anywhere, Germany has stringent laws against them.

When selecting a country for master's degree study, it's crucial to conduct extensive research and take into account a variety of aspects, including racism. It is advised to speak with current students, former students, or academic advisors to better understand the cultural setting and experiences of international students in these nations.

1. Depending on his individual circumstances, aspirations, and master’s program requirements, your son should decide whether to work part-time while pursuing his degree full-time or the other way around. While some master's programs may be rigorous and need full-time dedication, others may allow flexibility for part-time employment. Prior to making a choice, it is crucial to thoroughly evaluate the prerequisites and workload of the master's program, as well as your son's career objectives and financial position. Furthermore, acquiring a job in a foreign nation may be contingent on issues such as language skills, work permits, and employment market conditions, all of which should be considered. Consultation with academic advisors, career counselors, or immigration advisors can provide valuable guidance in making this decision.

I had planned to apply to universities in Germany for my master's in Automation and control. However, due to delays with APS certificate process, i couldn't apply in time this year and would have to wait another year to begin my studies in Germany. I didn't want to waste a year, so i started looking into options in the UK. Fortunately, i recieved an offer from Newcastle University for a course that builds directly on my current knowledge. I already have strong foundation in PLC based Automation, and this program offers advanced training in DCS (used in big industry automation like oil and gas ), which is exactly the kind of upskilling i was looking for. I also received offers from Glasgow and Sheffield universities but there program didn't align as well with my goals. Now what you think, should i go ahead with Newcastle this year, or wait another year and apply for Germany?
Ans: Hello Kartik,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. Given your solid foundation in PLC-based automation and a clear desire to enhance your skills in advanced industrial systems like DCS, Newcastle University’s program is an ideal match. It resonates with your background as well as your career objectives, particularly in industries like oil and gas. Although top-notch education at a budget-friendly cost is offered in Germany, the delay in the APS certificate processing could result in a one-year deferment. Given that the course offered at Newcastle University aligns closely with your professional objectives and considering that you have already been granted an offer, I would suggest that you proceed with it immediately instead of later.
