I am a BSBA Marketing graduate with work experience in the banking industry (Marketing/Product/Events-related).
I already kept in touch with some agencies as I want to study, work, and live in Australia. So far the options I got are:
- Masters in Business Administration
- Masters in Business Analytics
I am hoping to find cheaper options po sana but if none hope to hear your inputs as to which path I can take that has PR-route. I am looking for a school near Blacktown NSW. Please let me know if you have recos. Thank you! 🙂
Instead of limiting yourself to schools near where you'll be staying (as most schools/uni are actually in CBD area), focus on what you are planning to nominate as your skilled occupation. MBA is usually highly regarded, but it doesn't really have a PR pathway. I'm not sure with Business Analytics if it's more on the business or the IT side, but if it leads more into ICT, you can potentially nominate ICT Business Analyst down the line if that degree will lead to that kind of job.
Are you nominating Marketing Specialist or Finance Manager? Those are on the STSOL only, so you'd be limited to applying for 190 or 491 state-sponsored visa, whereas Accountant or Management Consultant roles are on the MLTSSL.
To have a better chance of migrating, you need to be strategic in that your occupation is (ideally) in the Medium to Long Term Skilled Shortage List. Research which occupations are aligned with your current experience (as you can claim points on it if you have more than 3 years of claimable work exp), and where you can study a program that would be beneficial to that nominated occupation. Studying in Australia will not guarantee you a PR visa, so you need to really consider what makes the most sense in terms of your career trajectory.
