- Can’t wait
I will be a new international [mature-38] student in Fall 2019 to WIT studying in computer forensics. In America, I had a career in web/cloud/mobile platform development (front-end UI) and am looking forward to putting a second degree to my name in an industry that I love. I love that WIT has a podcast out in computing. Thoroughly enjoying it.
