3. My sponsor, blood bro is in US, a medical doctor and the wife a nurse. They are willing to sponsor. Can someone in another country sponsor someone?

Please help with an answer if you can.

Good evening all, please I need your suggestions

1. I studied Electronics and Computer Engineering here in Nigeria but want to do a master's program in Data Science. Is Data Science a good program in Australia with high employment prospects in Australia with getting PR as the goal.

2. Can I get suggestions of level schools that are very good in Data Science with moderate fees, Currently I am applying to Deakin University?

3. Can I use my maternal Uncle as my sponsor who is not bearing the same surname as me or my mum? He is willing to sponsor. Can someone that is not bearing my surname or my mum's previous surname sponsor me?

Please help with an answer if you can.

Hi Amahjosh,

1)Follow your passion and check the sol.

2)Use Google, Deakin is cool. If you're financially buoyant, i suggest you target regional university's.

3)Yes.

Amahjosh:
I have check the SOL but I did not see data scientist or data analyst but my agent Goajo is telling me they data science fall under IT that there is no cause for alarm.

Why regional universities and can you mentioned top regional Universities

Good morning Everyone

I got info about this thread from a friend and i'm glad i did.

i am a prospective applicant and i'm not asking to be taken by hand but i really need pointers on how to embark on this journey and i hope to share my own success story at the end of it all. (i am currently going/reading through the thread from page 1)

I studied Computer Science in Nigeria and i wish to further my studies in Australia if God permits, although my CGPA is not sharp enough(its poor) to go straight to masters, i intend to go through Undergraduate program again if that's the only way.

I have some questions and i'll like the ancestors/gurus to chip as much as they can(i'm a fast learner)

1) Can i still go for Bsc again at my age? (i will be 29years in october)
2) Can my age hurt my chances of getting Visa?
3) Is IELTS compulsory and does it give an edge?(I have Academic IELTS and Band Score of 7.5 and it expires next year Feb)
4) which cost effective schools are most preferable for me(I'm on a budget)
5) can i do the application without an Agent?(it seems all schools work through an Agent)
6) how much am i looking at for both Tuition(First year at least) and other miscellaneous that might come up along the way(A rough estimate so i can know what i'm dealing with)
7) how is the application season like? Can i apply now? (Asking because of the prevailing conditions in the world right now and i have been going through the schools website for more info but still a lil confused regarding application season and deadline)

I'll be glad to get a response to all these pertinent questions and others that will come along the way.

Thanks Everyone

NB; i'm open to PM's too.

Kendocity4u:


many thanks for your response, about the IT question, i don't have IT paid experience, but I've been teaching Computer Science in Sec schools around me.
does that help my cause??

Froshloaded:


Congratulations Bro

tunlex01:

I was hoping you had a paid IT experience which you could use for the Skilled Migration but since you don't have, you can stick to your studying plan.

Cousin9999:
I think some of you need to read this. Just be careful (Aussies are pretty racist):

There's one big problem with Australia's skilled migration program: many employers don't want new migrants

https://theconversation.com/amp/theres-one-big-problem-with-australias-skilled-migration-program-many-employers-dont-want-new-migrants-125569

It makes me wonder/worry how many people are wasting their time, like people who study in Asia and absolutely cannot get hired.

AustinT575:

How does skilled migration works?
Do someone have to apply via VFS global or it has a different process

Kendocity4u:
Good evening Everyone, trust we're all doing great.........Please can my uncle's friend provide a healthy SOA for me to use for the Visa Application?

titila:
Good day all. I'm new here. I got an admission from UTAS to study Masters in Logistics Mgt in Feb 2021. I am at my GTE stage now. Too mant documents to produce. God will help me. Please I would like to link up with anyone who will be going to TAS next year or people who have gone through this route with family for advice. Please I really need advice. Thank you in advance.
please contact at : priscatitila@yahoo.com

Ikjosh04:


Try and use google very frequent.

Well, I can see you're my name-sake so I'll give you this million dollar advice.

Apply for a Msc in Information Systems Management and do a rigorous self learning on data analysis(cousera/udemy has everything you need).

Regional universities gives applicants extra points for PR application.

tunlex01:

That occupation falls under IT. You may or may not get IT experience when you are done with your Masters but I'm 100 per cent sure ACS or TRA will require a qualification in IT and some years of experience in IT. Currently, IT occupations assesed by ACS are only available for nominations if you have a job offer. Other IT occupations assessed by TRA are less stringent but requires at least 3 years experience.

bligs:

Logistics/Supply chains is big in Australia, you stand a chance of state sponsorship after your two years of studying in Tassie and the downside is jobs opportunities to support yourself and family is limited compare to other places. Prepare financially for at least your first year and you are good to go.

Petrified235555:
Please can I apply to the MPhil program with just my BSC?
