Won't they ask why I was planning for an MBA and now choosing a different course?

Yes, visa officers often ask why you changed your course choice from MBA to another field. They want to understand your motivation and ensure your study plan is credible.

Be ready with a clear, honest explanation that links your education, work experience, and career goals to the new course. Showing how the new course better fits your skills and future plans will make your decision more convincing.

If you need help framing your explanation, your Leap counsellor can guide you.
