6. Take necessary courses: As mentioned earlier, you have a background in mechatronics and now wish to pursue your Master's in Power Electronics. To aid in your transition from mechatronics to power electronics, and to fill in the knowledge gap between your training in mechatronics and the particular demands of power electronics, you may be required to appear for certain prerequisite courses. The courses that you may be required to appear for are mentioned on the websites of the universities.

7. Plan your Finances: Studying in the USA can be a costly affair, and so I suggest that you plan your finances adequately. Take into account your financial circumstances. Also universities in USA offer ample scholarships and assistantships, look into the possible financial aid options that universities have to offer.

8. Make Applications to Universities: As part of the application procedure you will need to submit all the necessary documentation, pay the required application fees, and adhere to application deadlines. I suggest that you complete each university’s online application procedure.

9. Apply for a Visa: On receiving a Letter of Acceptance from the university, as the next step in the process, you will be required to apply for a student visa. Generally, an F-1 visa is required to study in USA. I suggest that you submit the required paperwork and adhere to all the visa prerequisites.

10. Prepare to Migrate: The final step in the process will require you to make all the necessary arrangements. Arrange for accommodation, obtain a medical insurance, and make arrangements for other requirements in the country. Understand the customs and academic standards of the country.

As an answer to your query whether power electronics is a good choice or not, I would like to tell you that as you have expertise in the power and embedded sectors, this field can be a fantastic one. Different sectors viz., electric vehicles, renewable energy, consumer electronics, etc. all depend on the field of power electronics. As mechatronics frequently includes the combination of mechanical systems, control systems, and electronics, your knowledge in the field of mechatronics can offer a distinct viewpoint.

Lastly, the university that you select should resonate with professional ambitions and research pursuits with the filed of power electronics. I would suggest that you conduct a thorough study on not only the courses but also the expertise of the faculty members at each university to ascertain which one best suits your educational and professional goals.

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear that you have completed your Bachelor’s of Commerce (B.Com) degree and now wish to pursue an MBA in Finance or Postgraduate Diploma. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that selecting a European country to pursue your higher studies with the final goal of attaining a PR i.e. Permanent Residency, is rather a major choice. You would be glad to know that exceptional academic possibilities as well as routes to obtaining a PR are offered to international students by a number of European nations. Nevertheless, bear in mind that the particular prerequisites as well as the possibilities of attaining Permanent Residency for each country may be different. As previously mentioned, your ultimate goal is to obtain a PR and for that reason, I would recommend that you take into account countries where the immigration laws for overseas students are conducive viz., Germany, the Netherlands, Canada (although not located in Europe), as well as Sweden. Choosing these countries to pursue an MBA in Finance or a Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) can be a wise decision. Bear in mind that each country may have varying steps that lead to one attaining Permanent Residency (PR), viz., job offerings in sectors that are highly sought-after, professional experience, and language competency. I would suggest that in order to determine the best possibilities for attaining Permanent Residency (PR), you conduct a thorough study on the specified prerequisites for PR, as well as the the immigration laws and regulations for the country of your choosing. Not just that, prior to making an informed choice, ensure that you factor in the living expenses, the standard of education in your area of study, as well as the language prerequisites.
