Frequently Asked Questions — by Kee
1Which country has the best Computer Science programmes for international students?
Canada, the UK, and Australia each have strong CS programmes with different advantages. Canada is exceptional for co-op programmes (University of Waterloo, UBC, University of Toronto) that integrate paid work terms. The UK offers shorter 3-year degrees with strong research reputations. Australia provides a welcoming environment with post-study work rights of 2–4 years. I help students choose based on their career goals, budget, and preferred work-study balance.

2Do I need prior programming experience to apply for a Computer Science degree?
For undergraduate CS programmes, prior programming experience is generally not required, though it is advantageous. Most programmes assume no prior knowledge and teach programming from first principles. For postgraduate programmes (MSc), a relevant undergraduate degree is typically required, and some programmes expect demonstrated programming proficiency. I can advise on bridging courses if needed.

3What are the post-study work rights for CS graduates in Canada?
Canada's Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows international graduates to work in Canada for up to 3 years after completing a degree programme of 2 years or more. CS graduates are also well-positioned for Express Entry immigration pathways, as technology skills are in high demand. I advise students on how to structure their studies to maximise immigration options.
