Ans: Hi Sujit,
Hello,

I am pleased to learn that your son will be completing his MBBS next year and is considering pursuing higher education. From your query, it seems that you are contemplating whether he should pursue his higher education abroad. There are several factors that need to be taken into consideration before making a decision. Some of these factors include:

1. He will need to clear the USMLE or PLAB exams, which will require dedicated effort. Until he completes these exams, he will require both financial and moral support.

2. The specialization he is interested in pursuing is a crucial factor to consider.

3. The choice of university will also play a significant role, as it may impact the availability of financial aid.

4. Additionally, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of studying in the USA or the UK and make an informed decision based on the specifics of each country.

Ultimately, the decision about his higher education should be made based on your financial circumstances and the support that can be provided without undue strain.

But i feel USA is better option when compare to UK.

"All the best to your son for his future endeavors."

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son is currently pursuing his 7th semester of BPharm at SRM KTR. I would like to let you know that he has excellent choices for obtaining a Master’s in Europe. You would be glad to know that outstanding programs in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and associated life sciences fields are offered in countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, and Ireland. Germany is home to leading universities such as LMU Munich and Heidelberg University that offer minimal to no tuition fees, although proficiency in Germany may be required by certain programs. The monthly cost of living is approximately €850. Outstanding English-taught programs are offered in the Netherlands and Sweden (e.g., Utrecht, Lund University), with tuition fees ranging from €10,000–€17,000 and similar costs of living. With tuition fees costing between €13,000 to £28,000 and higher living expenses, countries like the UK (UCL, King’s) and Ireland (Trinity Dublin) are more expensive. To secure admission, students typically need to have secured a good BPharm score, submit scores of the IELTS or TOEFL, as well as documents such as Statement of Purpose (SOPs) and letters of recommendation. Bear in mind that the application deadlines and prerequisites for each country is different, thus, I would suggest that you begin planning a year in advance.

Ans: Since you’re finishing your Bachelor’s in Physiotherapy, here’s how you can think about your Master’s:
• In India – Options like Manipal, SRM, Jamia Hamdard, CMC Vellore are reputed. Doing it here is more affordable and recognized for clinical practice in India.
• Abroad – Countries like Australia, UK, Canada are popular for physiotherapy because of advanced curriculum, research, and better career prospects. It’s more expensive, but job opportunities and global exposure are stronger.
How to select a college/university:
1. Check specialization (neuro, cardio, sports, musculoskeletal, etc.) that matches your interest.
2. Look at faculty, hospital tie-ups, and clinical training.
3. Compare placement/licensing opportunities if you plan to work abroad.
If your goal is to practice and settle abroad, go for Master’s overseas. If you want to build a career mainly in India, a top Indian institute is sufficient.
