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 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...
