I had planned to apply to universities in Germany for my master's in Automation and control. However, due to delays with APS certificate process, i couldn't apply in time this year and would have to wait another year to begin my studies in Germany. I didn't want to waste a year, so i started looking into options in the UK. Fortunately, i recieved an offer from Newcastle University for a course that builds directly on my current knowledge. I already have strong foundation in PLC based Automation, and this program offers advanced training in DCS (used in big industry automation like oil and gas ), which is exactly the kind of upskilling i was looking for. I also received offers from Glasgow and Sheffield universities but there program didn't align as well with my goals. Now what you think, should i go ahead with Newcastle this year, or wait another year and apply for Germany?

Ans: Masters in Germany is a good option. Germany is known for engineering and its engineering education. But do check the college ranking and talk to some students of the college before you take admission.

Ans: Since you already have a 5 years work ex, why not try for MBA instead of MiM. Try for both - admission to college and a job. Wherever you get a better option take it up. If you get a good job then you can work for a couple of years and then do an MBA from some top college in Europe.
