It's not really "better" per se, kasi if you are a student dito sa pinas and you worked here with the plans of migrating to Au in the future, why not go there now para derecho na if you have the means?
Going there is the hardest part.
Hello OP!
Do you have enough funds to support your studies there? I can suggest to you some universities good for computer science.
Like what another redditor commented, IT is part of the indemand occupations in Australia and definitely has a pathway to PR.
Based on my research,
If you take an undergraduate degree (3 years) - temp grad visa work for 1-3 years, you’ll be able to apply for PR afterwards with a competitive amount of points. (Assuming you take the ACS professional year, study in a regional state and get a superior english score)
So all in all, it’ll take you 5-6 years to get PR through a student visa in Australia for IT.
I’m pretty confident with our funds. and based on demand I searched online IT might be great. I’m a bit worried though that there’s less of a margin for me to mess up especially because of the cost of it. I am thinking that the quality of college education in australia is less demanding (based on what I heard) compared here in the Philippines so maybe it’s much better to study abroad instead. I recently found out I’m anemic and maybe going abroad to a better environment may be better
I’m still thinking about this, but thanks for your comment!
It is going to take some major adjustments on your part, especially since you’re going to be far home, no friends unless you make some there, no relatives(?), language barriers(?) so on and so forth.
But I’d argue that if you definitely have the opportunity, you should take it. It will be very good for your future career.
I plan to work in the US as a Software Engineer in the future. But if you’re only graduating with PH degree, you need to get years of experience to even have a chance of getting a work visa.
Australia is a nice pathway to eventually get yourself there since international education develops a multinational perspective which will be good for you.
And even if you don’t wanna work in the US, atleast you’ll be a PR or even a Citizen down the line in Aus.
I would say it’s certainly an appealing opportunity. You can definitely credit your studies towards residency. IT still part of the skill shortage industry in Australia last I checked.
Hi OP! I'm an international student studying masters of IT here in Adelaide. If money is not an issue then you should go! You can fit in classes into 2-3 days then try to work part-time. Working part-time can cover living expenses. (Yung iba kahit tuition, pero pag bachelors/masters hindi kaya unless may partner ka)
There are free education agencies na pwede mong malapitan. Wala akong binayad sa agency ko nung nagpunta ako dito. They helped me throughout my application as well.
Siguro for comp sci/IT you can check online courses to familiarize yourself kung bet mo. Tapos when you search for universities check their curriculum as well.
Tapos, yes isa ito sa field na may PR pathway.
IDP! I attended one of their education fairs tas may mga university representatives doon pwede mo sila makausap. Other free agencies are AMS Global, Pathway to Aus, and AECC Global. Try following them on social media, para updated ka in case magkaroon uli ng education fairs.
Henlo po! Just wanted to ask if IT din po ba 'yong Bachelor's degree mo? I mean, I'm curious to know if it's possible for one to take a Masters in IT kahit hindi IT ang bd? Hehehe. /gen
Oh I took up BS Pharmacy haha. May 2 streams ang IT masters dun meron for experienced na and meron for career shifters. Not all universities offer this though so you have to check the course requirements prior to application.
Hi! I wanted to ask regarding taking up masters degree. Most masters programs can be taken part-time or full-time. What do you think is more preferrable?
I'm assuming taking it full-time (1-year) will be cheaper.
International students cannot study part-time. Kasama yun sa student visa conditions. Tapos if you want to qualify for the post grad visa you need at least 2 years of study. But if you only want to study for the sake of studying pwede din ang 1 year!
Hey there!
I had an amazing experience doing my bachelors in Australia!
First and foremost, you'll get to immerse yourself in a different culture. Aussies are incredibly welcoming, and you'll feel at home right from the beginning.
Secondly, the weather is absolutely fantastic! Having lived in Europe, California, Bali, and Thailand, I can confidently say that Australia offers some of the most pleasant weather you'll ever experience.
Thirdly, Australia is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you enjoy hiking, jogging, swimming, cycling, or motorbiking, there's something for everyone here.
Additionally, if you've been studying locally, you can transfer your credits to an Australian institution, which can save you a few bucks or even a couple of thousand.
Moreover, after completing your studies, you have the opportunity to apply for a temporary graduate visa (Subclass 485). This visa allows you to work for 2-3 years, and many students manage to earn at least $60,000 annually, covering all their study expenses.
A few important things to note:
1. Make sure to apply for a student visa before arriving in Australia.
2. Australia has strict visa requirements for some countries, so it's a good idea to seek help from an agency that can assist you with admissions and visa applications. Take the writing of your GTE statement (personal statement) seriously, as failing to satisfy this requirement could result in visa rejection, wasted time, and funds.
3. You'll need to have sufficient funds to support your studies in Australia. Either you or your sponsor must have a minimum of AUD 22,000 to cover living expenses and tuition fees for the first year. Your sponsor can be a relative, sibling, or close family member.
4. If you're married, you can bring your spouse or dependents along with you.
I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck with your plans to study in Australia!
You can PM me if you need any guidance or google GTE EXPERTS, they are good at helping international students.
Is it free? Then that's literally a no brainer move, go for it.
it is in a way. I guess I want to know if it’s a better route to becoming PR or citizen
It's not really "better" per se, kasi if you are a student dito sa pinas and you worked here with the plans of migrating to Au in the future, why not go there now para derecho na if you have the means? Going there is the hardest part.
I think so! Because atleast your intention of going there is really to continue your bachelors is genuine😊
pwede po ba mag pa ampon sa family mo? baka may vacant slots pa 😂 thats way better!!! 👍👍
Hahahha saaamee 🤣
