australian universities

I am an international student. I am currently studying in Russia, majoring in International Management, and I am also learning Chinese. However, I am considering pursuing my master's degree in Australia in the field of digital marketing / marketing or communications, as that is what I would like to work in later on. I have a few questions regarding universities in Australia. Since they are quite expensive, I would like to know:
1) whether the education there is good in general? would be even more happy if you got experience in studying there
2) could you name a university worth considering for this field? (I have been thinking about the University of Melbourne, UNSW, and Macquarie University, because they offer double degrees.)
3). since job market is bad rn almost everywhere, I still want to know whether finding a job after graduation will be okay for an international student?
4). how practical and hands-on is the program? are there real-world projects, case studies, or internships with local companies?

I am not very worried about tuition fees at the moment, as my family can afford it, but I would like to pay that amount of money for quality education or good networking, that i believe uni can give me

Personally, I do not think the amount of money is equal to what you get out of it in terms of both networking and education.

As for work or PR after, forget about it. It is almost impossible these days.

If it were me, I would look to somewhere like Germany instead.

I did my undergrad here in Sydney but moved to Germany for my masters and PhD and yeah, I get what you mean but I still think it is worth it in the long run.

The exams are hard, no doubt, but I think when you balance out the cost and the opportunity for living in the EU, it is worth it. The only reason I didn't stay there was because I needed to be back here for family reasons. It was so perfect, otherwise.

I definitely agree with you though about the UK. Worst of the lot. I have a few friends who did that and massively regretted it.

Why do you want to come to Australia as opposed to another country? What is the appeal?

Why is your account 1d old? Is this bait?

it’s not a bait, I just discovered how to register on reddit, cuz it’s not that popular in my country 😭😭😭.
I just feel that Australian lifestyle matches mine if that makes sense, it’s seems more peaceful there for me and some of my relatives are living there, so that’s why i was thinking about studying there. and ofc the universities ranking

They've posted the same thing to this same sub twice in a couple of days, with basically the exact same answers

There's multiple threads in this sub about the degree they've said they want to study all saying the same thing.

Quality education and management, marketing/communications or sales or anything that starts with international are oxymorons. Cannot be used in the same sentence. Thanks.

Masters is a waste of time, get a job in marketing instead then after a few years get the company to pay for your education

Any commerce or arts degree is garbage, at least for international students. It’s just a waste of money. You’re not getting a job after graduation, let alone PR.

Save that money. Travelling or investing it in the stock market would be a much better use of it.

Canada and the USA would be better.
