Hello sir, My son is now in 6th semester ECE in Bangalore. His grades are good. His interest areas are Hardware, Embedded systems, Control systems, Robotics. Which country is best suited for pursuing masters in the above areas? Look forward to your recommendation. Thanks in advance.

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear that your son is currently studying in the final year of his Bachelor’s of Technology (B.Tech) in Engineering and aspires to pursue his Master’s in Robotics and Automation. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that there are a number of outstanding overseas universities that are well-regarded for the robotics and automation programs they offer that are also affordable in terms of program costs and living expenses. You would be glad to know that universities viz., ETH Zurich, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pennsylvania, are known worldwide for their programs in robotics. A number of scholarships and funding sources are offered by these institutions to international students studying there. Moreover, EU or EEA students are provided superior education at comparatively lower tuition costs, by universities in Sweden and Germany, viz., KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Technical University of Munich. To find the options that best resonate with your son’s choices as well as monetary constraints, I would recommend that you conduct an extensive study on particular course offerings, the living expenses in these regions, as well as possibilities for financial assistance.

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 Sagar!
Thank you for reaching out to us. It’s great that you’re thinking of sending your son abroad for his master’s degree. With his BTech in CSE from VIT Vellore, he already has a strong foundation.

Countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and others offer excellent universities with strong Computer Science programs. These universities provide world-class education and access to strong tech industries, where students can also find part-time jobs to gain practical experience while studying.

It’s important that he chooses a good university for his master's, as this will play a key role in his future career. I wish you both the best of luck in this exciting journey!
