The course I chose was fully hands-on and highly regarded in the western Australian region. Moreover, I follow the same content and assessment that on-campus students follow, also, all the professors are minimum MS holders and many of them hold Ph.D also, the university has a very good reputation in the western Australian region.
Course Curriculum
It was ACS (Australian Computer Society) approved curriculum, and getting this approval is not easy. The criteria are very strict to maintain a high quality of education. Moreover, all my units are industry-based and industry-oriented.
Exams
Actually, I studied in an off-shore campus in Singapore and no requirements were there for me. But the standard IELTS score for on-campus students would be 6.0 (minimum).
Placement
Since I'm not an on-campus student, I don't experience much about these things. But I have seen many Indian students studying in the university getting placed easily since their course is really advanced.
Internship
In Singapore, I did a research internship for my final year project with A* Star (which is a highly-ranked research organization across the globe).
Events
University provides free membership to the Australian Information Security Association (AISA) for security students, and we get all the on-campus updates through emails and the LinkedIn Alumni group. though I am in Singapore I was able to compete in a challenge that happened in Western Australia without any concerns. And with my communications with on-campus students, I can say that the uni was really great to explore and the infrastructure is well-built. ECU has its own SOC center to provide practice for cyber security students.
Fees
12,00,000 INR is the program fee.
Scholarship
As an off-shore campus student, I pay only 50% of On-campus students to pay (on-campus it usually cost 15-20 Lakh (INR) to complete 2 years whereas I spent only 12 Lakhs for 2 years.
Faculty
Though I studied in Singapore, I maintain very good communication with university professors through email and Microsoft team. All of them were very approachable and ready to support you. I really had a very great time being a student.
Hostel
In Singapore, I stayed in multiple places and the prices were quite cheap.
