Well, pinayagan ako ng university to enroll in a postgraduate IT course kahit Hindi IT yung undergrad ko. Pagdating naman sa DIBP, I reckon that it's important na may link yung experience mo with your chosen course, though not required. Here's what the GTE guidelines say:
"Value of the course to the applicant’s future 12. Decision makers must have regard to the following factors in considering the value of the course to the applicant’s future:
a. Whether the student is seeking to undertake a course that is consistent with their current level of education and whether the course will assist the applicant to obtain employment or improve employment prospects in their home country. Decision makers should allow for reasonable changes to career or study pathways.
b. Relevance of the course to the student’s past or proposed future employment either in their home country or a third country.
c. Remuneration the applicant could expect to receive in the home country or a third country, compared with Australia, using the qualifications to be gained from the proposed course of study"
Take note of the last sentence in (a). 🙂
