With the new F-1 rules, I am doubtful if I should send my daughter abroad to study. Apart from the US and UK, which are some of the other popular destinations to study MS after engineering?

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son aspires to pursue his Masters in Robotics/Automation/Industrial Engineering in the UK or Germany. To answer your question first, I would like to let you know that several variables, including possibilities for employment following graduation and permanent residency (PR) need to be taken into account when deciding between Germany and the UK for pursuing a Masters in Robotics, Automation, or Industrial Engineering.

I would like to tell you that Germany and the UK both are renowned for having robust engineering and technology industries with outstanding educational programs and research possibilities offered in these fields. Nevertheless, with regard to gaining permanent residency, Germany has simpler procedures than the UK.

Germany’s immigration laws, especially the Blue Card scheme, aims to attract competent laborers, including graduates from universities in Germany. On competing their Masters degrees in Germany, students have the chance to prolong their residence permits for the purpose of seeking employment and finally switch to a Blue Card, which can result in permanent residency.

The UK on the contrary, has modified its immigration laws recently, implementing a points-based system that gives preference to highly qualified personnel. Although overseas students are permitted to remain in the UK for a brief period of time following graduation in order to seek work, the routes to obtaining permanent residency are more difficult and competitive in comparison to Germany.

I would like to let you know that both the nations have booming engineering sectors that provide a wealth of work opportunities, nevertheless, the manufacturing industry in Germany is particularly strong with several jobs in automation, robotics, and industrial engineering. An abundance of opportunities for graduates in these sectors are offered by Germany’s robust industrial sector, including well-known corporations viz., Volkswagen, Siemens, and Bosch.

The UK also boasts a thriving engineering industry, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and technology. Nevertheless, employment prospects for overseas graduates in the UK may be impacted by Brexit concerns and its possible effects on immigration and employment laws.

Lastly, while outstanding possibilities to pursue a Master’s degree in Robotics, Automation, or Industrial Engineering are offered by both Germany and the UK, a more simpler route to obtain permanent residency and ample employment prospects in these sectors may be offered by Germany. Nevertheless, in order to make an educated choice depending on your son’s aspirations and situation, I would recommend that you conduct an extensive study on certain courses, universities, and well as labor markets in both the nations.

Ans: Hello Annamalai,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that Germany is a great option for a Computer Science Engineering (CSE) graduate looking for an affordable yet top-notch MS program overseas. Outstanding education in computer science and engineering with cheap or no tuition fees is offered by universities in Germany, particularly public universities. Moreover, Germany boasts a strong technology sector and a dynamic labor market which can offer excellent job opportunities following graduation.

Canada, renowned for its first-rate education and comparatively economical tuition in comparison to the United States, is another feasible choice. Universities in Canada offer robust computer science programs and the nation’s friendly immigration laws may make it simpler for graduates to remain and find employment post the completion of their education. I would like to let you know that excellent value for money as well as opportunities for professional growth in the technology sector are offered by both the nations.

You can also get in touch with us and our team of expert counselors will provide information on MS programs in several other countries like the USA, the UK, Australia, among many others.

Ans: Remember to check admission requirements, scholarships, and program details for each university. Here are some recommendations.
Germany is renowned for its engineering programs and offers excellent opportunities for international students. Consider institutions like the Technical University of Munich and the University of Stuttgart.
The United States has top universities with strong engineering departments. Look into schools like the Georgia Institute of Technology and New York University.
Australia provides a welcoming environment for international students. Explore options such as The University of Melbourne.
The UK has reputable universities like Middlesex University London that offer quality engineering programs.

For Mechatronics, consider focusing on areas like:
Robotics: This specialization combines mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to create intelligent robotic systems.
Control Systems: Study the design and analysis of control systems used in automation and robotics.
Automation and Manufacturing: Learn about automated production processes and manufacturing systems.
Embedded Systems: Explore hardware-software integration for smart devices and systems.

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that you want your son to pursue his MS in Computer Science abroad. As an answer to your query, I would like to tell you that although competition is high, the USA, particularly with its OPT (Optional Practical Training) and H-1B visa pathways, provides lucrative job opportunities after graduation. In comparison to the USA, studying in the UK is more economical, and the country also provides a two-year post-study work visa, making it easier to stay and work. If you are prioritizing long-term citizenship, then bear in mind that the USA has a more complicated and prolonged process, whereas the UK provides a more straightforward route to permanent residency. Lastly, I would like to let you know that the decision you make should be based on your budget and long-term career or settlement objectives.
