Update on Australia

I had mentioned a few posts back that I might go to Australia to further my education, and I might do a one-year diploma program first before starting a doctoral program. Interestingly, I found out that international students who complete a post-secondary program of study in Australia can then apply for permanent residence.

Thus, if I do that post-graduate diplpoma first, and then apply for permanent residence, this could offer me two huge benefits: a) the right to open employment in Australia, and b) cheaper tuition for the doctorate later on. Furthermore, it would expedite the moving of my family down there from Korea.

I can see the plan taking shape.
