@hikari yung sister ko may friend naman daw cya n pinay. 2 lng cla filipino pero mas close yung ate ko dun s thai friend nya. cgro may pamilya na kasi yung pinay kaya hindi masyado nakikipagkaibigan.

Anyways, explore.😉 friends ko sa uni is Indian, then nung nagwork na ako, Aussie and Irish. And may friends din ako sa volleyball na iba iba lahi. Yung friends ko na pinoy is yung filipino community sa area na tinitirhan ko.

So, enjoy mo lang.😉 malay mo makatulong sila for you to find work etc.😉

Hello, buti nakita ko tong forum nato. Bihira kase akong makakita ng IT international student e mostly nursing, aged care or leadership. I'm on the processing for student visa na. Pay nalang sa school and waiting para iissue yong CoE. I graduated here as an IT Student sa Pinas pero balak ko mag pursue ng IT din sa AU. Focus kase sa networking yong curriculum which is yon yong field na gusto kong i pursue. Saan school po kayo?

@superluckyclover , grabe yong credentials niyo Ate. Galing! 🙂

Hello! Dugo’t pawis yan girl. At ilang mga buhok na nalagas sa sobrang stress hehe. Salamat ❤️

Guys, kung mag aaral kayo, sa regional area na. Napakadaming perks at madaling mag PR. Yes, onti lang mga Filos na nag-I-IT. Bilang sa daliri talaga. Worth it naman dahil maganda ang tech climate dito.

@superluckyclover yon din yong sabi ni @hikari if bakit hindi daw nag regional areas. May friends na kase akong nauna sa Sydney pero iba school and course. Imagine 30 years old pero grabe na credentials. Galing! 🙂 If ever na gusto ko mag apply PR di ba pweding sa Sydney ako mag aaral pero mag apply ako ng PR sa regional areas? Reason kase bat di ako regional mahirap din daw makahanap ng work sa areas na yon.

pro-rated kasi ang IT occup so mataaas ang points na need. ang trend ngayon is 85-90 para mainvite ka sa 189. kung kayang kaya mo ma-max lahat ng points mas okay :smile: aralin mo din pala yung ACS assessment hehe, naalala ko sabi mo diploma yung kukunin mo, so kung yung bachelor degree mo nasa sec1 or 2 then comparable to AQF bachelor yung degree mo at makakaclaim ka ng 15 pts for educ, otherwise, lugi ka kung dip lang yung kukunin mo dito sa AU kasi worth 10 pts lang sya for education tapos rerequire-in ka pa ni ACS na 5-6 yrs work xp related to your nominated occup para magkaroon ng positive outcome.

Ang mangyayari nyan, mag PY ka after graduation para ang skills assessment mo ay from professional year. Pero i double check mo if pwede ang Diploma Degree.

Ang mangyayari kasi pag regional area ka mag aaral, makaka claim ka nang regional study points, 5 points din yun

Malaki na talaga difference sa PR processing ngayon compared noon, maigi mag seek ka nang advice from a migration agent sa best actions na pwede mo gawin.

Pero if gusto mo lang talaga for professional development, pursue mo ang studies regardless kung regional or major cities

@hikari ngayon ko lang nakita yung signature mo, so naka 1 sem ka sa Deakin then lumipat ka ng UofA? Hindi ka ba sa Geelong campus ng Deakin?

@superluckyclover kelan na kape natin...?xP hahaha...

@lunarcat Sydney and Melbourne has more IT job opportunities, yes. Pero tulad ng ginawa ni @Hikari, may regional places naman na may IT din like Adelaide and Gold Coast. South Australia and Queensland kasi may PR pathway for Graduates sa state nila, you might want to consider that pra hindi ka na mahirapan maghanap ng PR invititation.😉

Hi po.

New guy here.

Question lang po. Bakit wala masyadong topic about IT students? Konti lang po ba mga programmers and IT specialist people na nag-aaral sa Australia?

I'm currently processing my requirements na. Web Developer/Web Programming po yung course na kukunin ko sa TAFE.

Hindi po ba maganda ang IT course jan at mahihirapan po ba ako makahanap ng job jan after or during school?

Thanks everyone!
Hi! I am an IT graduate. Yes, onti lang ang mga Pinoy na IT international student lalo na yung technical courses. Ako lang ang Pinoy back in 2015 sa La Trobe Uni.
Hindi mahirap makakuha ng IT job dito after graduation, make sure na mag stand out yung portfolio mo at maghasa both soft and technical skills.
During school, bihira dahil 20 hrs max lang a week right? Pero I am pretty sure may tumatanggap. Sa current workplace ko ngayon, may international student kami pero sobrang galing nya talaga sa programming.
Karamihan ng mga Pinoy dito ang kinukuha ay Nursing or Aged Care.

Hello Super LC and Fellow Forum Members,

Good day po sa lahat.

Pwede po makisingit na rin dito, spotted this and very interested kami sa topic na to.

You had been helping me po in other threads.

Anak po namin (who is migrating with us) is interested in Comp Sci or IT in near future. Here are my queries po:

1) Is Comp Sci or IT schooling in Melbourne good in general or depende sa school? Mahirap ba maka pasok sa Comp Sci or IT course sa Australia? May competitive exams ba?

2) If Aust uni graduate po ng Comp Sci or IT, what are the prospects of getting a relevant job soon after graduation?

3) Is Masters level/degree recommended for CS or IT grad sa Australia (assuming bachelors is from Aust Uni also)?

Appreciate po the usual kind info and help. Thank you.

1.) I can't really comment on the comparison between schools kasi I don't remember talking with anyone how professors and/or exams are on the other schools. But I think university name does affect both visa PR application (as per an agent na nakausap ko) and sa paghahanap ng work, especially kung big companies ang target mo.

2.) Prospects of getting a relevant job? I am not sure kung ano yung tanong pero some unis offer Internship rather than Project or Thesis presentation which could be a good chance sa anak mo na maabsorb cya after kung okies naman performance nya during internship.

3.) Honestly, I only took Masters mainly because I have already finished Bachelors in Comp Sci sa Philippines. It would be questionable kung Bachelors ako ulit dito, not unless ibang course. Besides, ang alam ko 3 - 4 years ang Bachelors dito, 2 years lang Masters, which mean mas mura. You can't take Masters though ng hindi pa nakakatapos ng Bachelors.

@FilVictoria2020

1) Maganda ang quality of education nang Australian universities. Hindi ko alam kung mahirap or hindi kasi pag international student, basta may show money

at mataas ang approval rate nang visa, lenient naman sila. In short, form of business ang education dito dahil na-attract nila yung mga foreign students. Well maganda kung mataas ang grades pero di sila masyadong concern don unlike sa Pinas na dapat may honours.

Maganda ang facilities at maraming perks hindi lang academically related. So very conducive ang environment when it comes to learning.

2) Ang job ay nakadepende kung pano i-sell ang sarili. Both mixture of personality, soft skills at technical skills. Kung PR or/at Aus Citizen,

mas mataas ang priority dahil syempre walang limitation sa work hours, sponsorship etc. (pero hindi ganto always ang case kasi marami pa

din iniisponsor na expats kapag wala talagang nakikita amongst local candidates)

Marami akong colleagues na non-IT ang degree. Yung magagaling namin na devs, high school leaver. Meaning natuto na sila sa workplace.

3) Masters ako pero maybe 80% nang subjects ko, ang mga classmates ko ay bachelor students so di ko alam kung pano yung segregation talaga.

Ang bachelor ko ay non-CS/IT so the struggle was real.

Siguro makaka help ang masters kung gusto mo mag pursue nang PhD in the future or if international student, syempre yung dependent ay full working rights

(factor din kaya pinili ko masters para full-time work si hubby nung student visa pa kami :p)
