Hi everyone,

I already have a good understanding of SQL and I’m currently considering whether I should invest time in learning PL/SQL.

However, I see that many modern technologies like Python, cloud databases, and data engineering tools are becoming more popular.

So my question is:
Is PL/SQL still in demand in the job market today, or is it being replaced by newer technologies?

I would appreciate insights from people working in data or backend development.

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am interested in continuing my studies in Spain, specifically by applying for Master’s degree in a field related to data or information technology. I would like to understand the full process for international students: what the main admission requirements are, whether applications are done directly through universities or through a centralized platform, if diploma recognition is necessary ?

Hi everyone,

I'm 27 years old from Tunisia. I have a Master’s degree in Data Science (graduated in 2023), but I haven't worked in the IT field yet.

I'm considering moving to Spain and enrolling in vocational training (Formación Profesional), possibly in IT or a technical field, to restart my career with more practical skills.

I have a few questions:

- Is 27 too old to apply for FP in Spain?

- Can foreigners apply to public vocational training programs?

- What are the requirements (documents, diploma recognition, etc.)?

- Do I need a specific level of Spanish?

- Is it possible to get a student visa for this type of training?

If anyone has experience or advice, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Bonjour à tous,

J’ai 28 ans et je souhaite postuler dans une université en france, probablement pour un master dans le domaine de l’informatique / data.

Je me demande si mon âge peut être un obstacle pour l’admission ou pour l’obtention du visa étudiant.

J’ai déjà un master et un peu d’expérience professionnelle, mais je souhaite reprendre mes études en france.

Est-ce que certains d’entre vous ont été dans une situation similaire ou ont des informations à ce sujet ?

Merci d’avance pour vos retours !

Hi everyone,

I’m 28 years old and I’m thinking about applying to a university in Italy (Master’s degree, probably in data/IT field).

I would like to know if my age could be a problem for admission or visa acceptance.

I already have a Master’s degree and some work experience, but I’m planning to restart my academic path in Italy.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or knows if age matters in Italian universities?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student interested in pursuing a Master’s degree in Data Science in Italy, preferably at a public university.

I would like to know:

Which universities offer good Data Science or related programs (AI, Big Data, Data Analytics)?

Which ones are taught in English?

Which universities have a good reputation for this field?

I’ve heard about universities like Politecnico di Milano, Sapienza University of Rome, and University of Bologna, but I’d really appreciate more suggestions and honest opinions.

Also, if anyone has personal experience studying Data Science in Italy, I’d love to hear about it (courses, difficulty, job opportunities, etc.).

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to study in Italy and I’m currently outside the country. I’d like to know how international students usually find accommodation before arriving.

Are there reliable websites or platforms?

Is it safe to rent without visiting in person?

Should I book temporary housing first (like Airbnb) and then search locally?

Any advice, tips, or personal experiences would really help.

Thanks in advance!
