PR is permanent residency. It is a visa type - the best and hardest type to get. Totally different to a student visa. You have full work rights but a few changes to the rules in Jan 2005 means that PR's have to pay their student contributions upfront with no discount. Apart from that you have...

Would someone be able to post the UAI for Social Work at UNSW TIA J

Thanks for replies. For PR's you can get a commonwealth supported place. However since Jan 2005 (doh!) you cannot defer the student contribution and you receive no discount for up front payment. However if you do successfully gain a HECS place your payments would be circa$6k a year as aposed...

Hi , I am applying for Bach of Social Work at a few of the Sydney area Uni's for next year. I am overseas , PR holder. The feedback I am getting from the Uni's is encouraging so far -as my quals are non Australian.UWS and UNSW(once UAI doesnt rise) have been especially helpfull Am amazed at...

err it's a mmmhhhh the name for a rest room (toilet)

Thanks for that. Was a bit worried the HECS places would be diluted to make way for full fee thus increasing the UAI for fewer hecs places (I am a Permanent Resident so not upto speed with the Australian Uni system - am getting there slowly though )

Thanks to all who replied to this - it has been a great help Stay cool

It is .... And I am

Hi , Probably seem like a real dumb ass question but here goes : I will be applying to NSW Uni's next year. I am a PR visa holder (i.e can apply for HECS / classed as a Local student etc). Does the introduction of full fee places (which I couldnt afford) mean the UAI scores for the HECS...

Mate That is awesome - thanks a million. Looks like I would be a 88 which , if I got it , would be 16 UAI more than I need (unless everyone decides to do social work rather than law :rolleyes: ) Again thanks for that

Hi , I am looking at Social Work with Social Science (Welfare) as a back up. I appreciate that thanks. I believe SW had a cut off of 72 last year which is quite low. However what my UAI will be is a mystery as my quals are overseas quals (Ireland and UK) so you never know how the translation...

Hi , One of the alternative pathways for non recent school leavers is getting accessed by your work experience. The Uni website states it has to be 12 months paid , full time employment and doesn't have to be related to your selected course of studies. Has anybody any experience of this...

Nice one - thanks

Oh thats heavy 4 hours round commute!

<....blush......>

I'm Irish - no bar. Scratch UWS - nah kidding. The Community welfare was a fall back course for me if I dont get the B. of Soc Work.

Could ask HERE for macquarie

My UAI wasnt really pre-allocated. However a very nice person in one of the admissions offices at a Uni took alook for me and gave a general idea of what to expect i.e <80 but just under. As this is based on existing exam results(I am mature student) it would be a static score. No my A levels...

Thanks for that . Appreciate it.

No its an established course. I am hoping that the main round UAI for 2006 is circa the 78 mark (defo below 80) as I am an overseas mature student (PR visa holder)hoping to study that course and need a UAI below 79.99. Trying to follow the stats and that course went 78(2005) and 83.35(2004)...
