    Do you work in any of those fields?

    Business is rather vague.

    HR you dont require a Masters unless you are fairly senior. It's not an entry level criteria.

    Conflict resolution Masters are usually aimed at people in Industry like Barristers. Are you looking for a career by way of Masters?

    I work in hr related have a particular interest in conflict resolution. Degree is in industrial relations. Too old for skilled visa and could work and do this which in turn will increase my skills

    A lot of HR coarse are available through TAFE kind of like the Australian equivalent of FAS. Fees for overseas student are quite high could be quite high an Engineering one is 75k

    It depends on what course you choose to do, how you choose to do it and your visa status.

    If you are not on a PR visa then it costs more. If you are on a PR visa its normal fees but without HEX or HELP debt so you pay for it up front. If you have your citizenship you are entitled to help with funding.

    Each course will differ on price, depending on the institution and what you are studying.

    TAFE would be a step above FAS back home for sure. They do similar entry level courses that would be geared to getting people into tertiary education in fields that Universities wouldn't cater for. TAFE do Engineering degrees and the likes that can be 2-3 years long so far more advanced than the likes of FAS.

    Thanks for the replies. The student visa for a masters by research allows you and your partner to work full time. Yes it does cost but being able to work will help offset the cost.
