Is getting an MPH a good option?
I certainly think that it is a good option, if you can afford it! It doesn't really cost much though, with the banks offering student loans left, right & centre! Plus, you get to work too. The other thing that you should remember is that once you go & spend 2yrs on a Australian Student Visa, getting a US Visa later on might be a tad easier; should you want to shift base to U.S.

Where can I get information regarding MPH?
Go to IDP Australia office. They have brochures of all the Australian universities & you could go through them. They will be most ready to guide you too! They don't charge you for anything, so nothing to lose! The other option would be Planet education, they have brochures too & will guide you. So take your pick.

What is the cost of the courses for MPH? What are the other expenses?
Most of the courses cost around 12k AU per year & there's a ~12k per annum of additional living expenses (according to the University Student Expenses Guidances, issued every year). Working for 20hours/week, in a job area like that of Medical Transcriptioners can pay around half of the 24k that you get to spend.

Can one apply for a PR when doing MPH?
One can apply for a PR only if you do the courses from certain regional universities, the list of which is available at the DIMIA site. As for checking the status of whether the particular campus is a regional one or not, I suggest you talk to the university representative or the education agency through which you applied. They are more in the loop & would have definite information on PR issues. One has to study for two continuous years in same university to be eligible for PR. The only advantage in studying in a rural area is you get 5 extra points. Its not easy to get PR, because you need to be talented and your skills will be assessed. (for PR, you will need 120points). The benefits of having a PR & then applying for a HMO Job are substantial. And depending upon your AMC Grades, you do have the chance of landing up a job in one of the bigger central hospitals rather than being thrown in the "Bush".

Is one allowed to take the AMC exam while doing MPH?
One is allowed to take the AMC exam while doing MPH.

What are the courses that can increase my chances of working in a hospital in the future?
There are some really good courses that can help your CV when you apply for a Medical Doctor's job in a hospital. Notably, Tropical Medicine, Infectious Diseases or EBM E-learning courses. This is certainly a good route, even better for those who have friends/family that they can put up with when in Oz. But this does take up some time (which you can use to pass both the AMC parts).


Re: MPH and Citizenship
One can get maximum points for Australian immigration when you do MPH and take research epidemiology, Biostatistics and other research subjects which can give you recognition as a "medical scientist". I did it from University of Wollongong in 2003. Fee for one semester then was 7000 AUdollars. Living expenses in Sydney is around 700 dollar a month. You can live in Sydney and drive to Wollongong (70 km). They increased pass points for migration last year. Its better you get 7.0 or more in all modules of academic IELTS.

This was a good information that you put up here... …..hope that it benefits all the ones who land up here.

Thanks!!
