• Answer:

  G'day, 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. The Australian uni's offering biotechnology are as follows: ANU (www.anu.edu.au) Charles STurt Uni (www.csu.edu.au) Flinders Uni (www.flinders.edu.au) Griffith Uni (www.griffith.edu.au) La Trobe Uni (www.latrobe.edu.au) Macquarie Uni (www.mq.edu.au) Murdoch Uni (www.murdoch.edu.au) QUT (www.qut.edu.au) RMIT uni (www.rmit.edu.au) Swinburne Uni (www.swinburne.edu.au) Uni of Adelaide (www.adelaide.edu.au) UNSW (www.unsw.edu.au) UQ (www.uq.edu.au) Uni of Sydney (www.usyd.edu.au) Victoria Uni (www.vu.edu.au) UWS (www.uws.edu.au) Tuition fee & requirements will be available in those 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 (www.ielts.org). For scholarship... visit www.ausaid.gov.au for Australian Government scholarship programmes. 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 :)
