 5. BACKGROUND

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

Master of Computer Science(Machine Learning and Big Data)

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

As a passionate advocate for technological advancement in my home country, I am acutely aware of the
challenges that exist in the IT sector of Bangladesh. The Master’s in Computer Science program at the University
of Wollongong holds the key to helping me address these challenges effectively. Through the program, I will
acquire in-depth knowledge in areas such as Programming and Data Structures, Data Management Systems,
System Analysis and Project Management, Web Development, Machine Learning and Big Data and others that
are integral to developing a strong IT infrastructure in my country.

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.)

My educational background includes a bachelor's in Computer Science and Engineering,

which helped me gain a great deal of knowledge and understanding about problem-solving
techniques and how to handle the many obstacles that arise in this field. As an IT, Project
Manager of ShaadBD Global Limited, I've gained valuable experience understanding
consumer behavior, software development, and risk management. Pursuing a master's in
Computer Science from UOW signifies a strategic career advancement for me.

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)

Bangladesh's various study systems offer master's degrees in Computer Science,

providing diverse educational options.However, a specific Master's major in Machine
Learning and Big Data program is unavailable in my country.On the other hand
Universities like University of Toronto in Canada, Georgia Institute of Technology in
USA, Oxford in UK those also offers that program but their tuition fees and offered
courses dose not fulfil my expectation .

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 offers diverse master's programs in Computer Science. Notable universities

include the University of Melbourne, Monash University, and the University of
Sydney,offers programs like Master's in Applied Computing, Cyber Security, Networking,
and Data Science,which prepare students for various roles in today's competitive job
market.Apart from those I choose UOW cause its course curriculum amazed me the
most and it fulfills all my desired subjects for improving my skill and my future career.

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).

After completing a master's in Computer science majoring in Machine Learning and Big Data, I plan
to return to Bangladesh and leverage my enhanced skill set to contribute to the progressing IT
industry. The job prospects in my home country are promising, with positions such as Data Science
presenting attractive opportunities. The salaries for positions such as Data Analytics and Data
Scientist are attractive in my home country, however, I am eager to apply my acquired knowledge
and experience to make a meaningful impact. Also I have a plan for developing my own IT firm.
G. Provide details of your economic circumstances that serve as incen�ve to return home. (Include assets such as
investments, property, etc).

I will return to my home country as there is a huge scope and high demand for Data
Scientist in local and Multinational companies. In the long run, I plan to become an
entrepreneur. My family's yearly turnover is near about 70,000AUD. Currently, I am
getting 11,000AUD yearly. It can be 30,000AUD yearly with a UOW degree. The degree
I am pursuing is in high demand in my country. Market giants such as DataSoft,
Unilever,Pran, Food Panda,Uber,Grameenphone, Robi Axiata Limited and So on.

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).

I have my parents, siblings, father-in-law and mother-in-law who are staying in

Bangladesh. My entire family will be the most incentive cause for me to return
home.

I. At which UOW campus will you study your course/s?

Wollongong Campus
