After my HSC, I dedicated my time preparing for admission to public universities and also took the
IELTS exam. However, I observed a decline in the quality of education, course materials, and the
overall study environment at these institutions due to lack of monitoring and focus on students. I
understand that such issues may not be permanent but I also not sure when it will resolve, Since I
have already shifted my focus towards pursuing my dreams and aspirations consequently, I
discontinued my preparation for public universities and started exploring the option of studying
abroad.
 5. BACKGROUND

A. Course/s Applied (Include all course/s as detailed in your offer leter)

B. Briefly outline your reasons for choosing your course/s.

I APPLIED FOR AN IT DEGREE BECAUSE I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND ITS
IMPACT ON SOCIETY. I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO
GAIN A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW SYSTEMS WORK AND HOW TO CREATE
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO SOLVE REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE AN IT DEGREE
WILL PROVIDE ME WITH THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO THRIVE IN THE
EVER-EVOLVING TECH INDUSTRY.

C. How does this course relate to your previous study and work history? (If your proposed study is unrelated, explain
how this course will support your change in career.)

I completed both my hsc and ssc in science stream which had subjects like
mathematics,physics,ict which are all needed in this course.

D. Briefly outline the op�ons available at higher educa�on ins�tu�ons in your home country and countries
other than Australia. (i.e. list specific courses at specific ins�tu�ons you have considered and why you haven’t chosen these)

In bangladesh,there are only bachelor degrees in computer science in universities

like buet, dhaka university, ruet, kuet. But these universities have limited seats
compared to the huge number of students graduating from high school every year.
Also the degrees take more time to finish whereas,in australia it's only 3 years long.
university of texas,arlington ; unversity of florida ; ut dallas are great options, but
they require sat and the tuition fee is way too high.

E. Briefly outline the course/s op�ons available to you at higher educa�on ins�tu�ons in Australia and your
reasons for choosing UOW and/or UOW College instead of another university in Australia or Overseas. (i.e.
list specific courses at specific ins�tu�ons you have considered and why you haven’t chosen these)

Australia stands out as a premier destination for top-tier education, surpassing the
United Kingdom (UK), United States of America (USA), and Canada. Australia
boasts the ESOS act, a distinct legislation safeguarding the rights of international
students and upholding educational standards. UOW boasts a distinguished IT
research reputation, notably in industry collaborations, both domestically and
globally.

F. Explain how this course applies to your future career prospects. (E.g. Provide informa�on on career prospects you
can an�cipate a�er comple�ng your course, including informa�on about the kinds of jobs and posi�ons you might be qualified for
and the poten�al employers and remunera�on in your home country).

Bangladesh is currently in the developmental stage, with a significant demand for

technology development. This necessitates a substantial pool of skilled and talented
IT professionals. It's evident that IT is poised to be a dynamic field both within
Bangladesh and worldwide. Major trends indicate that IT is a rapidly evolving
profession, consistently at the forefront of technological advancements. With this
degree, my aim is to provide world-class expertise and integrate the latest
innovative technologies.
G. Provide details of your economic circumstances that serve as incen�ve to return home. (Include assets such as
investments, property, etc).

This course will bolster my opportunities to return back to my country and apply for
the companies like tigetIT, brain station 23, BD TASK LTD, kaz software, daraz,
southtech group, BJIT, . With an international degree, I may get about BDT
24,00,000 - 28,00,000 annually on different construction companies. Since these
companies prefer international degrees,i would be favoured than my peers who
studied the same course in bangladesh. Returning to Bangladesh, If I able to secure
a job as a faculty of any universities I would get about BDT 18,00,00- 20,00,000
annually. I may also able to apply in international companies with higher salary.
H. Provide details of your personal circumstances that serve as an incen�ve to return home. (Detail your family
composi�on, family income, family employment, social and community �es).

My father is a businessman and he earns about 25 lacs per year. He owns acres of
farmland in our hometown. My parensts firmly anchored me in the community i was
raised. We have our own house and property here. Since i am their only child, I
have to return back to my country after finishing my degree and look after my
parents and their property. Achieving higher education is the goal here. Given my
career prospects and family ties, I must return to my country after this course.

Yes No

K. If No, name the specific suburb/city where you intend to live whilst studying? (Include if you have any family
living in this loca�on, your planned living and family arrangements, how you will commute to campus)

I will live in wollongong.Wollongong, nestled between the mountains and the sea,
occupies the northern edge of lower terrain bordered by an escarpment. Serving as
one of four key hubs surrounding Lake Illawarra, it neighbors Dapto to the
southwest, the Shellharbour region to the south, and the Warrawong/Port Kembla
region to the southeast.
Characterized by modernity, Wollongong offers excellent public transportation
facilities, notably accessible via trains linking it with Sydney to the north and Nowra
to the south.
L. Explain your knowledge about living in Australia (i.e, accommoda�on details, cost of living and how you will commute
to campus)

I'm planning to live off-campus, preferably closer to my university. I've begun

searching for accommodations on websites like Flatmates.com.au, Gumtree.com.
au, and through social media platforms such as Facebook and email. Additionally,
I've been in discussions with several welcoming landlords.
Many landlords have highlighted Wollongong's advantageous location near Sydney.
The ability to drive from the northern suburbs of Wollongong to Sydney is just as
quick as it is to reach Western Sydney. Furthermore, advancements in technology
allow for flexible work arrangements from anywhere.
With a monthly budget of around 2500 AUD, it's feasible to maintain a modest
lifestyle in Wollongong.
