Undergrad vs Post Grad

iamrapsteriamrapster Davao CityPosts: 2Member
Hi, I'm really new here. I'm a fresh graduate, engineering, here in the philippines. I'm planning on studying in Australia. I'd like to ask what path is better in order to be able to work there after studying, to pursue a 2yr post grad program or take undergrad program again on the same field of study (probably less than 2 years since some of my units will be credited). And just a follow up question, is it advisable that I should take my board exam first to be licensed here or is it irrelevant since I'll be studying again eitherway, because I'm planning not to take it anymore since I wanted to study there

    Just to add, I'd like to know also the pros and cons of taking either post grad or undergrad. Would I just waste my time if I applied to an undergrad program again?

    Hi, ask ko lang if natuloy ba yung student visa mo? If yes, ano kinuha mo undergrad or post grad? Engineer din ako na initially ang plan is to take another bachelor's degree pero mataas chance ng visa refusal according to my agent dahil na rin nakagraduate na ako sa pinas and pasok naman daw sa section 1 yung alma mater ko. Hoping na makapagconverse tayo re this, fellow engineer :)
