Yes, you can shift from a tech role to a non-tech role for a master's course abroad. Many universities welcome applicants from diverse professional backgrounds and value transferable skills like analytical thinking, problem-solving, and communication.

Your 12 months of IT work experience can be an asset if you show how your skills apply to the non-tech field you’re targeting. Highlight relevant achievements and consider taking certifications or short courses related to your new area of interest.

If you need guidance on aligning your profile or selecting suitable courses, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
