which has ESOS Act and Tuition Protection Services for international student along with
scholarship, affordable cost of living (AUD 29,710/year), industry relevant course design.
Progression of my Bachelor of Business Studies degree, I applied Master of Professional
Accounting (Advanced), to align with my career goal of becoming Finance Manager. I
chose UoN, ranked top 200 university in world (2025 QS world university rankings),
discarding WSU (low ranking), Macquarie university (expensive with AUD 90,200),
UniSC (in Queensland), for its industry partnerships and hands-on learning opportunities.
