Hiii Swapna,first of all I would like to tell you are you are wonderfull.Very few girls are passioante about the studies and you are one of them.I am really happy to write you swapna.You are really taking great pains to establish yourself.Now read the contents carefully swapna.There is currently a tremendous growth in the international biotechnology industry and allied service sector. Research and development managers require scientists with core technical skills, knowledge of commercial imperatives and current regulatory environments.This program is designed for scientists who want to update their technical skills in core areas such as molecular biology, protein technology or bioinformatics, or who wish to acquire research laboratory experience. The programs also suit legal or business professionals with some scientific background who want to learn about the latest technological developments.Till here you got the point Swapna?Now,There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and tightly regulated, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. I will tell you the best universties lateron if you require Swapna.Tuition fee & requirements will be available in websites. Please make sure that the information you accessing are the ones for international students, not for local students, as there are some difference in regards to tuition fees. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification (in English and original language). The process will take abt 2-3weeks, depending on the time of the year. You might also need to take an IELTS test to determine your English proficiency level.While studying as international student, you can apply for work permit after arrival in Australia. You can only work max 20hrs/week during study period and full-time only during holiday period. So please budget yourself carefully. Hope this helps. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia Swapna.Let me know if you require any more information Swapna.
