Answer

A and B are both good.
A is a little more casual than B.

C is not incorrect, but it sounds a little awkward.

Answer

Hi Niwantha,

Both a and b sound natural, with b sounding slightly more natural to me. C is perfectly understandable, but sounds a bit awkward. Additionally, I would prefer "into my new job" to "in my new job", and I would remove "about". Thus, to me, the most natural English sentence would be:

Since I am now settled into my new job, I will come to the university to discuss my unfinished studies.
