I'm absolutely doomed. Regretting doing a 3 year bachelors from a top Australian University.
I graduated back in 2021 from a top 10 university in Australia where I pursued a bachelors of computer science. I skipped doing the hons year as after completing my second year of undergrad, i already had an offer from industry for a software engineer role (MNC) which I joined as soon as I graduated from my program. I have switched a couple of times since then and was planning to go for Masters in the US for next Fall. I realised that most of the US universities I was inclined towards do not accept the 3 year degree. To overcome that, I was planning to enrol for a PgDiploma in an Indian University (as I'm based out of there right now) and unfortunately, the cohort got cancelled. I'm still looking out for programs where I can do the missing year. I can think of following options for now if I don't enrol into a PgDiploma or another transcript providing 1-year program :
- One option being to travel back to Australia and do the hons year which is obviously as costly as doing a MS in US and hence I'm not inclined towards it.
- Another option is to do a MS in Australia itself (they can't reject there own education program, isn't it? )
- Look for masters in Europe, the one university i applied to in Germany for coming winter semester rejected me stating "requirements not met", assuming i didn't have enough ECTS in Mathematics.
I would love to hear from people here if they have any recommendations on how should I be approaching it next.
