Hello, If na denied ang SV mo because of your age 34 and Advance Diploma in IT kinuha mo, can you re apply for Masters? (Masters kasi talaga advices sa agency but I took the risk). When I insisted to pursue the advance diploma, medyu hindi na naging interesado yung agency to assist me and receive little help with my GTE/ SOP.
Thanks in advance sa sasagut. 🙂
I've never been denied a visa, so I don't know if DHA provides feedback on why they denied the visa. In your case, how do you know that it was your age and your selected program were the grounds for denial?
You haven't provided enough context for us to be able to help you. Do you have many years of work experience and you're only considering to study now? If so, maybe the issue is career progression, wherein the Advanced Diploma might not be as useful to you as a Master's degree would (especially if you're looking to learn managerial skills). Or maybe your previous degree is not super related to what you are planning to study, so your GTE is not strong enough to prove the benefit of taking that Advanced Diploma.
What made you decide to pick the Advanced Diploma over the Master's? I don't know your circumstances with your agent so I can't judge their actions regarding assisting you on the GTE, but it's your responsibility to write your GTE based on DHA's guidelines, which is pretty straightforward. Whether you had an agent or not, you have to know how to tailor your GTE (this writing skill is like practice for doing academic assessments; you need to cover all the things that are expected to be in the document).
Personally, I think it's possible to reapply for a master's, but whether you can get an approval will come down again to the strength of your GTE. Let's wait if other people can give insights on your case.
