Torrens is one of the most affordable universities in Australia. Their education is assignments and exams based. My course is also accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS) which would help me in getting my skill assessment after completing this course. Their online education is very flexible and they have campuses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Adelaide. Any student from these campuses can join a class from any other campus as per their availability. Moreover, work and studies can be managed efficiently.
Fees:
AUD $51200 which increases every year by up to 5%.
It is a partner university with the one back in Malaysia so it was convenient to do a twinning program here. Also, this university is Australia's leading hotel school for hospitality education hence it makes sense for me to choose this university.
Fees:
The fee is a little pricey as compared to other courses and universities. However, it is worth the money. I did not have any other charges except for visa and insurance applications.
