Hello house,

I want to know if there won't be any issues with the Engineering assessment body for someone who has a BSc in Chemistry and MSc Chemical Engineering, for the purpose of PR.

Hello!
I must say I appreciate what everyone on here giving out valuable information is doing, I've read through quite a few pages and I must say it is very informative and impressive... Kudos to everyone.

I am interested in the making the move to the Great Oz! I think it is a really nice country with opportunities (definitely better than Nigeria).
I have a BSc in Chemistry from a Nigerian university and I've completed my NYSC, I got an offer for an MSc in Finance last year into Griffith university but I did not take up the offer. I have gone through the Skilled Occupation List and would like to make the right move, considering I'd like to stay back after my studies.

I'd like the experts in the house to please weigh in and advice me on the proper thing to do as regards choice of course to study taking into consideration my first degree, the SOL and the assessment factor ( I read somewhere in the previous pages that your first degree is just as important as any advanced degree you might acquire and plays a major role in assessment). For example if I were to decide to come to Australia and study maybe Chemical Engineering, how will this play out? OR Would it be possible to switch career path and study something in maybe Psychology (this majorly to ensure that I stand a chance of getting something after my studies, I think it will be a complete waste to find out after studies that I won't be able to achieve my aim). I am asking these questions so I know how well to prepare myself and to be able to make the right decision. Please feel free to furnish me with any information you feel is necessary. Thanks.

Over to the experts!
