The other notable universities that are located in Australia that too provides a wide plethora of mechanical engineering courses to all students including both international as well as domestic students include RMIT University, The University of Sydney, Monash University, The Queensland University of Technology, The University of Adelaide, Victoria University, Deakin University and many more. The third most lucrative reason as to why any mechanical engineering aspirant would like to study for the courses in Australia is that the degree of mechanical engineering offered by the reputed higher educational organisations operating in Australia that is both the postgraduate as well as the undergraduate degrees are valid internationally.
This means the students attaining the mechanical engineering degrees are able to secure as well as seek jobs in any part of the world with their degrees. This means that the students graduating from the Australian universities have a lot wider scope of jobs as compared to any other student graduating from any developing or underdeveloped countries whose degrees may or not be universally accepted. The fourth important reason for any student intending to study abroad in Australia is that the average salary offered to any mechanical engineer in Australia is quite high as compared to any part of the world. As mentioned above, the job market or the mechanical engineers in Australia is quite big and expanding keeping its population expansion in mind. The average salary whch gets offered to any junior level mechanical engineer in Australia ranges between AUD49,000 TO aud71,000. While, the average salary package for any senior level mechanical engineers in Australia ranges between AUD91,000 to AUD182,000.
The average salary package for any mechanical design engineer in Australia ranges between AUD57,000 to AUD101,000. Lastly, the average annual salary for any project engineer in Australia ranges between AUD64,000 to AUD122,000. This means that the country of Australia which has a high demand for mechanical engineers offers a high ranged annual salary to mechanical engineers especially when compared to the annual salaries paid to the mechanical engineers back in India.
Lastly, it should be noted that the course fees charged by the top universities that teaches mechanical engineering in Australia is lower as compared to the mechanical engineering courses offered by other developed countries such as the Canada, UK or the USA. So, these are the reasons for whch any international student especially a student aspiring to become a mechanical engineer in future from India would like to pursue their mechanical engineering study within the Australia.
