This is me Sushan from Bhaktapur, citizen of Nepal. My date of birth is 25th of  April, 1997. I have four members in my family, my father, mother and younger brother. My father’s name is Daya Nath and my mother’s name is Ram Laxmi .

Talking about my academic qualifications, I have completed my SLC (School Leaving Certificate) from Apex Boarding High School located in  Bhaktapur securing First division (72.25%) in 2013. Then I completed Diploma from Nepal Banepa Polytechnic Institute located at  Kavre, Nepal and acheived 74.12% (first division) in Diploma of Information Technology in the year 2016. I scored overall 6 in IELTS Examination.

I have completed my diploma in information technology at the end of 2016. Then I started preparing for my IELTS examination. Then I appeared in IELTS examination on 17th December 2016. After that the nearest intake for Information Technology was in July 2017. Due to some technical problem I couldn’t further process for that intake and I differ same offer for February.

I have always been interested in computers networks and technology, to learn about the invention of new technologies. Similarly, in this modern era, computer network has become very important sector in any part of the world. Most of the people depend upon computer these days. New technologies are being invented & coming into market day by day. As computer network playing a dominant role in today’s society, people with sound computer skills and knowledge are always in demand. Whether we want to enter into field of networking or simply upgrade computer skills, networking course makes a great place to begin. As Nepal is developing country, it is also becoming digital in near future and without doubt there will be growing demand of networking professionals. So I decide to study Certificate IV and diploma in information technology leading to Bachelors Degree.

I did my research in world’s best education destination countries like UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and also visited lots of consultancy and got counselled about the Australia, UK, USA, New Zealand etc and other education destinations as well. After knowing and counselled about these countries I came in conclusion that Australia is the best and suitable place for me and my further study. In USA, students need to attend competitive exams like SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test), ACT (American College Test), which takes a lot of time as well as there is not safe environment for international students as we listen gun issues. In UK, currency value is high compared to Australia. Also there is no tuition protection scheme in both countries and tuition fees are not like Australia.

Australia is listed in the top five educational destination and offers quality higher education along with well practical knowledge. Australia provides professional discipline and academic courses with glorious education in the field of Information Technology. Similarly, it is an educational destination for students that furnishes an education that will serve me well in my career and prepare me for a lifetime of learning. The Australian education system has produced scientists, designers, educators, entrepreneurs, artists and humanitarians who have changed the world, winning awards from Oscars to Nobel prizes. And gone on to achieve great things and contribute to making the world a better place with global Recognition. Also degree of Australia is globally recognized and accepted.

By choosing to study in Australia, I can join with hundreds and thousands of students from Australia and all over the world – including many from my home country. Australia also have good records and reputation in the world. 8 out of 100 top universities in the world and 5 out of top 30 cities are from Australia.Similarly, friendly natives and language as well as cultural diversity have attracted a lot of international students to continue their higher education in Australia.

There are only 5 accredited universities that offer education related to IT and Networking courses in Nepal but these available institutes & colleges can’t provide us best practical knowledge and platforms required for the students from computer background as computer related courses are more practically based. Not only that, still course material is designed for theoretical knowledge. And I was hugely disappointed from the old syllabus and teaching techniques which was repeated every time over and over again. Also we need to attend entrance examination to confirm seat in colleges which are derivatives of SAT, ACT. It takes a long process to do. Though we confirm the seat and pass the course securing good marks, the degree we will gain will not be globally recognized. Our education system acknowledges students only on the basis of percentage achieved by students. Morever,  we need to face a lot of public holidays bringing irregularity in our study, board examinations and result.

Sydney is one of the major cities in Australia; it is well familiar with top class education and technologies. Along with this, it is the best place than any other cities due to climate, nature of people and educational institutes. Climatic conditions of Sydney are also similar to Nepal so, we can easily adjust over there. Thousands of international students from different countries come to fulfill their ambitions in Sydney, so it is a multicultural city having rich blend of ethnicity. Studying in such environment of Australia’s educational and financial hub will definitely give me international exposure which can turn out to be very beneficial in future.

It is always challenging to pick out the perfect College from a cluster of good ones. When I finally made decision to start my further study in Sydney analyzing all necessary things & facts in my mind, I choose TAFE (Technical and Further Education). Choosing TAFE was not that very easy task for me as I thought to chose colleges in Sydney. Doing both online and offline research about the best colleges and universities available in Sydney for me and asking friends who are in Australia, I found out TAFE provide the best platform to study. TAFE has affordable fees, suitable courses, internet facilities, student support system and many other facilities for students considering its high quality of education and friendly environment. Also, TAFE looks forward in providing quality training and experiencing along with equipping students with the necessary skills. So I finally decided to study Certificate IV leading to Bachelor of information technology ( Network Security) in TAFE after consulting with college representative and seniors.

I choose Certificate IV and Diploma of Information Technology leading to Bachelors Degree because directly going for Bachelors Degree will be hard to understand the international concept. I don’t just want to get the degree but also the knowledge and concept which will be very fruitful in the future. It will help me to build a good base for the study in Bachelor and I believe that a building will only stand tall if its foundation is strong. As Certificate IV and diploma is the pathway to the higher education I can learn about the basic and fundamental knowledge’s on the related subject. Also, the size of class of diploma courses is small comparatively than that of bachelors. So, both students and teacher can easily interact with each other in class. Thus, I prefer Certificate IV and Diploma leading to bachelor in information technology a best option for study.

Before choosing TAFE I researched about many universities and colleges in Sydney, Australia such as Western Sydney University (WSU), Charles Darwin University (CDU), and University of New South Wales and so on. In Western Sydney University, tuition fee is AUD 25,000 per year, AUD 21,600 per year in CDU and AUD 39,360 per year in University of New South Wales. In TAFE, I have to pay AUD 10,350 for certificate IV in information technology, 13000 AUD for diploma and 34600 AUD for Bachelor Degree which is cheaper and affordable than other universities in Sydney. Thus, I choose TAFE as a best option for study.

After completion of my course, I will genuinely return to my home country and search for better job opportunities. My target will be to get better job according to my qualifications and work experience in big Companies like Mercantile, Lintree, Verisk, Deerwalk. These organizations are at the forefront of the internet evolution and are cutting an edge Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Nepal. I can apply for post which are directly related to my degree or where my degree can be useful such as data analyst, information system manager, network administration, network manager, and so on. But I will apply for the post of network manager. The job outlook for these managers is high in Nepal due to growing internet facilities. In this post I will take charge of protecting a computer network by troubleshooting issues, monitoring potential threats, Maintain network IT security; analyse networks for security threats; develop virus protection and providing secure passwords to users of business firms. Similarly I will be managing the work of other IT professionals, like computer engineers, systems analysts, data security specialists and computer support specialists. I also research about these companies from website and find about the salary, services and incentives of company. They provide salary according to their country which will be more in Nepal than what other local companies are providing. I can earn good enough paid salary and get good facilities and services such as International Working Environment, festival bonus, Medical insurance, Travel allowance, Loans (home, car, education for staff children’s), Foreign tours and so on which will make my life easier and comfortable. They also send their few employees annually to foreign for higher training and I am confident that I can take an advantage from this service so that I can explore my knowledge. Also I got to know that these companies send their staffs for abroad tour upon successful completion of targets. The managerial personnel of these companies are rewarded with good incentives and foreign trips for succussing.

I am aware of GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant), where requirement applies to all student visa applicants and considers whether the individual circumstances of the student indicate that their intention is for a temporary stay in Australia. A genuineness assessment is made by taking into account a number of personal factors relating to the student, such as their immigration history, circumstances that might encourage the student to return to their home country and conditions that might encourage them to remain in Australia.

I am well aware of my expenses, my annual expenses includes tuition fees AUD about 16500, living cost of AUD 19830/-, and travelling cost of AUD 2000/-. Furthermore I would like to state that my parents are my sponsors for my education. My parents will be funding my education through cash deposit.

I am also well aware of my visa conditions. I must have a valid health insurance during my stay in Australia. I should attend 80% of attendance in each semester. I must notify DIBP (Department of Immigration and Border Protection) if I change the address or contact details. I am allowed to work 40 hours per fortnight during my semester period and full time on vacation.

I will sincerely follow each and every instruction and order given to me by the college representatives. I will be within the bound of laws of student visa conditions. And it will be a great honour to be a part of TAFE to complete my desired program. After completion of my study, I will do the best as a graduate from TAFE and will work hard to uplift the reputation of graduates TAFE.

Above mention information are true and correct in every detail. And I understand the incorrect or misleading statements may result in refusal of my student visa application. So, I will be honest towards your rules and regulation.

Yours Sincerely

Sushan
