Is it possible to shift from a tech role to a non-tech role for a master's course abroad?
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.
