Started Degree in UK, is it possible to finish in OZ??
Hi, wonder if anyone has any experience of this. I am about to finish first year of BSc in Computing in Scotland. We will be applying for 176 visa when ACS results back (husbands, not mine ). Our initial plan was for me to finish degree here and then go to Oz but I was wondering if anyone had finished a degree they had started outwith Australia. Just want to get there as soon as possible now Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have no experience in Oz, but having friends that have struggled to change Uni's even in the UK, I would look to compare the courses. If you have the same kind of knowledge after 1 or 2 years as the students at the Uni you want to go to, then you will be fine. Otherwise you may have to repeat a year at least. I expect with computing things would be not that different, so you would prob be better off than BabsW. I would seriously look at the course of the Uni(s) you're looking at. Realistically, if you are doing a final year at a different place, but have no clue about half of what they're talking about, it wouldn't be much fun. My old uni used to do a two year in one thing, so you could do the courses you need to, but miss out those you didn't - might be an option.

Hi,thanks for your replies. I had a look at some SA uni's and decided it would be easier probably to finish here. Oh well, just need to be patient.

I'm in the same boat as you, I'm in year 1 of my degree and it looks like we may possibly move at this end of this academic year. Could you talk to anyone at your Uni? Because mine have been really helpful advising me on how many credits I will be able to transfer, and I'm going to try and be really cheeky and get the name of someone who may ring the Uni I choose in Aus and speak to them for me. I have heard them say that they have done this kind of thing before for other students.
Good luck anyway!
