I am confused between Italy and Australia; can you tell me about their percentage requirements and scholarships for a Master's/Bachelor's?

Both Italy and Australia generally require 60-70% in your previous degree for master's admissions, but exact requirements depend on the program.

- Italy: Most master's programs need 60-70% in your bachelor's. Program-specific cutoffs can be slightly higher (e.g., Engineering 65-75%). Scholarships include the government-funded Invest Your Talent in Italy (€9,000 stipend, tuition waiver, and internship) and MAECI scholarships (tuition and monthly allowance). - Australia: Most universities expect 65-70% in your bachelor's. Competitive or research programs may require higher marks (up to 75%). Scholarships often offer partial tuition waivers - some universities provide 25-50% reductions for eligible international students.

Both countries offer programs in English and have scholarships for international students. Your bachelor's (70%) and post-grad (60%) scores meet the general criteria for both, but check specific program requirements.
