Sir , i want my son to pursue MS in computer science from abroad probebly from UK or USA .Please suggest which country will be best in view of post study employment , study budget and citizenship.

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.

My son is in 3rd year and pursuing B. Tech in chemical engineering from VIT Vellore. He want to prepare for MS . Which country and university will be the best

Ans: Hello Sudesh,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that your son is currently pursuing the 3rd year of his Bachelor’s of Technology degree in Chemical Engineering from VIT Vellore and wishes to pursue his Master’s further. To answer your question first, I would like to inform you that to pursue his Master’s of Science (MS) in Chemical Engineering, your son can take into account countries like the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Australia, Canada, and even Germany. There are a number of prestigious universities in these countries. Among these are Imperial College London in the UK; Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) in the USA; the University of Melbourne in Australia; the University of Toronto in Canada; and TU Munich in Germany. Your son can consider applying to any of these universities. I would recommend that he conducts an extensive research on the programs he intends enrolling in, the prerequisites for admission to these programs, and the different scholarships and financial aid options available. Not just that, prior to making an educated choice, your son should also factor in the cost, the location, the blend of cultures, as well as the possible employment prospects.
