 Section 3

In 300 words or less, tell us why you have applied for this program.
Consider these questions in your response: How will this program benefit your future? How is this program related to your
previous studies? If this program is not related to your previous studies, why have you decided to change your career path? What
do you know about this program? What do you like about the program structure? Are you aware of the full cost of this program?

I want to choose Computer Science because I love it and I am really passionate about it. I got interest in it at the age of sixteen, when I decided to enroll
in a computer course at a local institution known as Aptech. There I was taught Photoshop, basic programming, computer system and word processing.
The course served to deepen my interest in Computers and a few months later, I asked my father to buy a new computer for me. I am fond of games so I
started downloading games on the computer. This got me thinking about how these games actually work. I was curious to learn about the processing
that went into creating the games. After some elementary research, I discovered that there are some underlying concepts of programming and
algorithms behind the functioning of these games. This strengthened my interest towards programming.
The A-level subjects I chose to study have helped me develop both myself and my understanding of the subject. Physics helped me understand how
certain parts of a computer function, while Computer Science taught me more about aspects regarding software. Physics and Chemistry both helped
improve my analytical and evaluative skills whereas mathematics opened my mind to several new areas of algebra, sequence and series, and functions.
This course is very interesting, as it is the study of both computer hardware and software. After completing my degree, I plan on going towards the
software programming industry. My interest has always been towards programming, and having this degree will not only help me in getting my dream
job, but the discipline I will achieve at university will help me train for it. Moreover, the program structure is also well-oriented. Lastly, I am fully
aware of this program's cost over the period of these three years.

Section 4 (only answer if you have gaps of more than 3 months between your most recent study and your intended study at RMIT)

Have there been any gaps in your study? In 300 words or less, explain the reason for the gap.
Consider these questions in your response: How long is the gap between your previous study and your intended study at RMIT?
What was the purpose of the gap in study? What have you been doing since you completed your most recent studies?

Section 5

In 300 words or less, tell us why you have chosen RMIT.

Consider these questions in your response: What research have you done into Australian Universities that has led you to choose
RMIT? Why have you chosen RMIT over other Universities in Australia? What do you know about RMIT?

The decision of selecting an institution to continue my studies involves detail research. I learned that RMIT University is one of the leading universities
in Australia. It’s currently ranked among the top 1% universities across the world. Furthermore, RMIT University holds a 5 star QS rating. It also came
to my knowledge that RMIT enjoys a high rate of student satisfaction in Melbourne, Australia and above all the passing ratio of RMIT’s student appears
in examination is also impressive. Therefore, I selected RMIT University for Bachelor of Computer Science. Studying this course from this university
will secure my future because after doing this course I would have myriad of career outcomes.
As I have already decided to study in Australia so during my research, I came across a couple of Australian universities offering the course of my
interest including RMIT University, Macquarie University, University of Wollongong and University of Technology Sydney, Latrobe University and
Monash University. After the deep analysis of core courses and specializations offered, I chose RMIT. I am well aware that RMIT University expects
high performance from its students and I am sure that I am good enough to fulfil that criterion.

 Section 6

In 300 words or less, tell us why you have chosen to study in Australia.
Consider these questions in your response: How will studying in Australia benefit your future? Why have you particularly chosen
to study in Melbourne? What research have you done into other countries that has led you to choose Australia as your study
destination?

The reason why I want to study in Australia is simple. It is a place where some of the best universities of the world are located; the environment of study
is ideal and not only is Australia a growing hub for international education. Getting a degree in Australia will be like a dream come true for me. The
education is outstanding, the environment in which I will grow is amazing and the community is fantastic. If I get the chance to study in Australia, I
believe I will be able to achieve my dreams and grow exponentially as a person.
However, my research included only countries offering education in English and through it I shortlisted UK, USA, Canada and Australia as potential
study destinations. After seeing that living costs and tuition fees in the UK and USA were too high for me to afford, and that Canada's harsh weather
would be unsuitable for me, I saw Australia was the perfect choice because it was exceptional in terms of living and academic expenditures, and in
regards to its climate.
Melbourne is the food capital and multicultural city of the Australia. There I will experience a diverse atmosphere and weather. It is also the best
student city of Australia and the third best student city in the world where most of the top universities are located. Moreover, it got highest score for
stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. It the perfect city for me to study as it is a safe and beautiful city with
diverse landscape and also offers world class study options, services and wide range of things to do.
Additionally, Melbourne's climate is similar to Pakistan's therefore I would not need to acclimatize to a new climate. All of these factors helped make
Melbourne my preferred destination.

Section 7

In 200 words or less, tell us why you don’t want to study in your own country?
Consider these questions in your response: If your program is offered in your country, why don’t you want to study it there? How
is the education system in Australia different to that in your country and how will this benefit you?

Pakistan is a country that is developing in the sector of Science and Technology. However, it lacks the resources that are required to produce an
innovative environment for the students. Efforts are being made by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan to ensure a level of standard required
by this demanding sector but it has a long way to go. Whereas, Australia investing its large amount of resources in Science and Technology which
makes it a forefront of education provider in the world. According to my research very few universities offer bachelors of computer science degree in
Pakistan and the one which provide this course lack in technology and experienced professors, as provided by the Australian Universities, which made
me to pursue my undergraduate degree in Australia. Moreover, Studying abroad makes you see new cultures, languages, new friends, new Hobbies an
entirely Different Experience than Studying in the home Country.

Section 8

In 200 words or less, tell us about your future expected salary.

How much do you expect your monthly salary to be after you complete your degree in Australia? (Please give a dollar amount in
both your home currency and the equivalent in Australian dollars) How does this compare to the salary you would receive if you
did a degree in your own country? Why is studying in Australia a good investment for your future?

After completing the degree, I will come back to Pakistan start a new life. Since Pakistan local market prefers international graduates over local
graduates so having an international degree from a renowned university will be a great advantage for me. Therefore, I would expect receiving a salary of
AUS $50,000, which if converted in Pakistani rupee (local currency) would be Rs 5,502,398 approximately. However, if I pursue my degree in Pakistan
it would be less valuable as Pakistan lack in advanced technology and experienced teachers and also it wouldn’t be as diversified as degree from a
prestigious university abroad. In addition, the salary would be approximately AUS $ 5,727 and up to Rs 630,000 (local currency) annually.

What are your future plans after you graduate from this program? (Please explain in 300 words or less)
Consider these questions in your response: What job do you expect to get once you complete this program? Do you have an offer
of a job when you return to your home country? If not, how do you intend to look for a job once you return home?

My family inspires me to be bold hence I wish to complete my degree and come back Pakistan. My dream is to develop my own game after working
and gaining sufficient experience. I love to lend my part in strengthening the software industry of Pakistan. I would also like to work in companies such
as NetSol and Ovex technologies and multinational companies like Microsoft and Nokia. Furthermore, after some time, I would apply for my
postgraduate degree in Australia or any other country but after that I wish to fully settle myself into my professional field.

Section 10

Where do you intend to permanently live and work when you complete your degree? (Please explain in 100 words or less)
Your answer should include details on whether or not you intend to work temporarily in Australia once you complete your degree
and, if so, which visa subclass you intend to apply for to work in Australia.

After I complete my degree I wish to permanently live in Karachi, Pakistan and serve my country and make it a better place to live for me and other
citizens of Pakistan. Pakistan got a great scope in the field of Information Technology and Computer Science. Each year more and more people are
choosing these fields. However, after some time I aim to apply for my postgraduate degree in Australia or other countries
