Questions from Indian students: Game design and animation in Australia

Is game design a good course in Australia?
Australia has an independent games industry centred on Melbourne, but jobs are competitive. Programming skills (games development) open more doors than design alone.
How much does it cost?
Flinders A$37,200, Swinburne A$42,800–47,400, Wollongong A$44,832, RMIT A$48,000, UTS A$55,650 a year.
Design or development?
Design covers game mechanics, art and narrative; development (UTS, Wollongong) covers programming and engines.
Is there a master's?
RMIT's Master of Animation, Games and Interactivity, two years at A$45,120 a year.
Do I need a portfolio?
Often for animation and design; a programming background helps for development courses.
