To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that a number of variables viz., your son’s interests, the location of his choosing, his economic condition, as well as his professional objectives, play a key role in selecting the ideal country and course for his higher education. I would recommend that you take into account the following:

As an answer to your query pertaining to country, I would like to let you know that the UK, well-known for the robust accounting and finance programs it offers, provides a broad range of possibilities for further education, including prominent colleges and universities. Coming to Canada, the country is renowned for its top-tier educational system and friendly atmosphere for overseas students. It is home to a number of universities offering reputed business and accounting programs.

For overseas students looking to pursue degrees in accounting and finance, Australia is another sought-after study abroad destination. The country has a robust economy as well as an outstanding educational system.

Concerning your query as to which course will be good for your son, I would like to let you know that he can choose among the courses mentioned below: He can choose to pursue a Master of Science (MSc) in Accounting and Finance: Concentrating on accounting and finance, a specialized master's degree can offer comprehensive knowledge and abilities that are pertinent to your son's professional objectives. Next, based on your son’s professional aspirations, he might choose to pursue professional qualifications viz., CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), CPA (Certified Public Accountant), or ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). Your son can also opt for a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. For students looking to further their financial and business professions, this is a preferred option. Specialized MBA programs in finance and accounting are offered by a number of universities.

I would suggest that your son conducts an extensive study on and takes into account variables viz., the program’s standing, accreditation, living expenses, post-graduation employment prospects, as well as the possibility of acquiring a work visa or immigration upon graduating. Moreover, in order to gain meaningful information and acquire guidance when making this crucial choice, I would recommend that your son gets in touch with educational counselors, employment consultants, as well as experts in the subject.

Ans: Sandeep Sir, based on son's percentile/score in 12th, it will be difficult for him to pursue Engineering. However, he can go for BCA and join any good college locally with Management Quota Seat. Even some colleges have good placement records for BCA also. All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future.
