Hello room! I had a Bachelor degree in Political science (BSC) with a 3.04 cgpa. I plan for a career change and intend to change course by studying Masters in Information Technology (IT) related field.
Is it possible to do conversion course on IT in Australia?
Are there any Australia universities that allow non-computing graduates to study masters in Computer field or IT ?

At port health they'll give you both the polio drops and the yellow fever vaccine because you need it for Australia application. The yellow card will bear details of both the polio an yellow fever vaccine.
In addition with what you're going with, go with a coloured printout of your passport data page, you'll write your name and phone number on the printout. Try and go early like around 10 to 11am, so you can get the card immediately

helenoladele:
Wow really, I have just gotten my grant through them and they did a good job for me, the thing is that most of the Universities now request for a lot of documentation and you really need to be ready especially for Australia, once you provide all your documentation to the school you won't have any problem with the visa application...and they have me an option of different universities I just made my choice.

When did you apply please

Ericmanny:
Are Australian universities taking quarter payment now? I am very familiar with half payment method. Is this a bait or a new norm? Pls recent applicants, kindly share reply post.

Why did you say this?
I actually noticed that the required deposit is a bit low. But didn't think much of it.

Greetings,

Please I have an important question to ask,

How much USD is one allowed to travel out of the country with in cash?

I have been buying usd bit by bit and saving same in my personal dollar account.

I have saved up to 10k usd. But someone told me I can't carry more than 4k usd.

Solitin40:

The best and safest option is to open an Australian bank account in Nigeria, then transfer your funds to the account and activate it upon arrival in Australia.

I am aware that you can open accounts with ANZ, COMM Bank, and NAB.

Mike365:
I didn't show any personal funds as I am being sponsored by the school

Naijabad:


Is this true? I am hearing this for the first time.

Where can one open australian bank account in Nigeria?

NPC means national population census abi commission. I'm not sure. I know it costs about 13k and it gets ready after 2weeks. That's what I submitted as proof of relationship between my mum and sponsor. Also for marriage certificate (since my mum lost hers).

You don't seem to have a lot of 'potentially risky' documents. That's good since you want to change the age. I wish you all the best. Also, proving your 7year gap year is not a problem. You were in school at that time so it covers for it.
All the best!

Thanks for the response i so much appreciate it .
I don’t have int’l passport ,never done it before , reason is because I know this kind of problem will surface in the......]
