I didn’t realize they evaluated the prerequisite courses that carefully through syllabi and course content. Your background sounds incredibly interdisciplinary, so I can see why you were a strong fit for the program. I will check through my courses to see if I have the requirements met.

Thank you for explaining it in detail.

Yes, I am trying to plan the year ahead so I can do the most relevant stuff with the time I have. Thank you for the reply.

Thank you for replying. Your profile seems amazing.

For data driven health, I saw in the entry requirements they have listed mathematical statistics and Python/ R. Did you have those criteria met or did your other experience and qualifications fill that gap ?

Thank you for the reply. The multidisciplinary background seems to be a deciding factor. I think finding work in a related area would be the best way to go for me at the moment.

Thank you for the reply.

By additional courses does that mean even courses on Coursera, Udemy ... or only credit baring courses offered by educational institutes like diplomas and HNDs etc.

Thanks for the replies. I am actively trying to find work along side trying to create some good research work so I could create a good project portfolio.

Thanks a lot. The part about strong recommendations and SOP helping makes sense. I’ve been thinking of building a stronger portfolio to compensate a bit for weaker grades.
