There is a diff betwn PG diploma f 1 year in CN and in NZ.

NZ one is the first year of Masters there and even it reuires the relevant background. If yes, univ offer Grad Diploma of one level down than PG level. So the thing is that we have to decide that whthr we want to go for Grad Diploma aftet B.Tech and work exp or not .whats ur intake/ sugestion ??

Also, have heard dat senior management level are not prevailing much there after completing MBA degree there

Hi,

When I mentioned -- "There are no such rules of choosing appropriate course level in Australia or NZ... ", I meant was- one can definitely start off in a lower level course in a new field (provided he/she gets admission/ meets eligibility criteria), or in his/her field of study... As I've not heard of Aust/NZ study visa rejection based solely on course selection, if one gets confirmed admission, has clean record and strong finances. Not to mention, because of limited PR opportunities for international students in Australia/NZ.. especially Australia.. there is rising dip in applications to Australian universities form countries like India. So they want more international students.

Yes, as far as NZ is concerned, if one does not get admission to a 1 year PG diploma (which is usually the 1st year of 2 years Masters degree), many a times International students settle for lower level 1 year Graduate diploma.

Strictly on general terms... Not only senior level, but there's shortage in other sectors/levels because of the simple reason of NZ having a very small economy. Outside of major cities like Auckland, Wellington and other sparsely located industries/projects around NZ, there's hardly anything except Maoris and natural beauty. You will get job if you are highly qualified, experienced especially in IT/engineering/technical fields, occupations related medical field and trades as they are in high demand (like most of other developed countries with average or above average sustainable economy). So, it's a great place to live..but very less opportunities. Infact, many young New Zealanders move to Australia for higher education and job search.

Saying this, it doesn't mean one is 100% bound to fail if he/she goes to NZ. As everything depends ultimately on the individual and there are immigrants who are well setteld with good jobs in NZ. Small economy also means comparatively less competition.

The fact remains, even with present sustainable economies of Australia and NZ, getting a skilled job without their degree and work experience is very difficult for international students.

TIGER,

1>What are your suggestions whether I should consider Level 6 Graduate Diploma (IT Work Ex and B.Tech Degree) if I am not given admission for PG Diploma .

2> Is it better to apply to colleges/Public Institutes rather than Univ - only for MBA Degree. All Univ require at least 3 year Work Ex and I am having 2 years , there is one College called AIS in Auckland for which I am eligible.

2> I have heard that Australia is highly expensive. Is it correct ?? Just because of this Expense factor I am considering NZ and not Aus but I know Aus is better in terms of everything compared to NZ. What would you recommend whether I should apply to Aus only or NZ is fine also
