Hi everyone,

I moved to Antwerp about 6 months ago. I’d already started job hunting before the move, so I’ve been at it for almost a year now.

A bit about me:

• I currently work remotely as a junior Business Analyst / Data Scientist, but the pay is very low, like my parents are helping me while I am here, so I’m looking for something more stable
• I have a bachelor’s degree in IT
• I speak English and French, and I’m learning Dutch intensively
• I’m a Swiss citizen, so I don’t need a visa or sponsorship to work here (do not judge, even If I am Swiss , doesn't mean automatically that I am loaded lol)
• I’m open to part-time or full-time work
• I’m hardworking, resourceful and open-minded, and I like helping people
• I have worked as a waitress, barista and in retail while studying.

What I’ve tried so far:

• Applying almost every day, for all kinds of jobs: waitressing, barista, retail and tech
• Walking into restaurants and coffee shops to hand in my CV in person

So far, everyone has said no.

I’m open to a lot of things, and honestly it’s starting to wear me down. If you’ve been in a similar spot here, or know places that are hiring, sectors that are more open to non-Dutch speakers, or anything I might be missing, I’d really appreciate hearing it.

And if you just have some good spirit to share, I’ll gladly take that too.

Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for advice on admission to the MSc Computer Science programme at the University of Antwerp, Belgium.

Profile:

B.Tech in Computer Science from a tier-2 college in India

CGPA: 7.3/10

Relevant startup experience and projects

Research paper co-authored

Planning to take IELTS and GRE

How realistic are my chances of getting admitted with this profile? I'd especially appreciate insights from students who received an admit with a similar CGPA.

Thanks!

The app is experiencing technical difficulties.

I called the service center and they don't know when it will be fixed.

Edit: my app is online again.
