damn crazy compnay. pppsft/
well i think that UTS is prolly going to pitch in with the fees i guess....but yeah, think really hard and focus on the main question: if u really would b still interested in mechatronics in 5 years time....and oh yeah, if u do end up wif UTS and u can't take it anymore- u can always leave the country. :D

Well, to me, conclusive and intuition-wise, the company must have some sort of beneficial affliation with each other. UTS gets hype and publicity for generating engineering students which are highly sought by employers i.e this company, while the company gets you, as their employee.

Or.. maybe just that the original conditions of this scholarship comprised of the rule that the degree must be undertaken at UTS perhaps?

yep, personally i don't even know what i want to do wif my life...thats why i'm doing flexible first year, and i'm taking a double degree so i can keep my options open. i'm even considering sitting for the UMAT as well...so yeah, i really don't know what i want to do.

but u c, some ppl. will know that "mechatronics is their life" and that they will never get bored of it...then if ur that sure, then u will b foolish to pass on that UTS offer! :)

It depends on all the conditions. Do you need to maintain some sort of GPA for the scholarship? Can you change your mind during your course or are you legally binded to the company? What if the wage they offer you after you graduate is significantly less then what the average graduate earns?

You have to consider that and a lot of other things. Personally I would take the scholarships but only if I was certain of all the conditions and that the company wasn't trying to scam me in the long term
