Dear Sushil ji, My son is doing Computer Science from VIT vellore and is 3rd Year Student. Please advise whether he should go abroad for the Masters and location whether Germany will be advisable . Kindly provide the input .

Ans: Hello Sanjay,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. Your son’s future ambitions, financial status, and personal choices, play a key role in deciding if he should travel overseas to pursue a Master’s degree in Computer Science, and if Germany is a favorable study destination. When deciding, take into account the following factors:
1. Career Objectives: Consider if your son has set career ambitions that can be accomplished by studying a master's degree abroad.

2. Academic Prowess: An exceptional academic record can enhance your son’s chances of getting into prominent foreign universities. Take into account his academic success in the program he is currently pursuing.

3. Financial Condition: Studying overseas can be a costly affair. Investigate your financial capacity and the costs related with studying in Germany or any other country. Look into the available scholarships, financial aid, and part-time work opportunities.

4. Choosing Programs and Universities: Conduct extensive study and pick programs and universities that resonate with your son’s educational and professional interests. Search universities that have robust Computer Science departments and research possibilities.

5. English Language Competency: Although there are a few English-taught courses, Germany mainly offers programs in the German language. You on studying in Germany or any other non-English-speaking country, make sure he possesses the required language abilities.

In addition, your son should get to know the visa and immigration prerequisites for the country he intends studying in. For instance, Germany has a fairly simple student visa procedure for international students. Enhanced networking possibilities are offered in the tech sector by some countries over others. Investigate the labor market and links your son can form during the duration of his Master’s course. Also, take into consideration if your son is ready for the societal and cultural changes that come with pursuing overseas education. This involves adjusting to a new setting, building friendships, and getting to know the local culture. Look into the available post-study employment opportunities in the country you have chosen to study in. Taking into account both, the cost of studying and the long-term professional advantages, consider the possible ROI (Return on Investment) of pursuing a master's degree overseas.

Owing to its exceptional system of education, research possibilities, and a friendly environment for international students, Germany can be a top option to pursue a Master's in Computer Science. To make an educated choice, carefully examine each factor and get in touch with career counselors and academic consultants. Your son should also examine particular programs and universities in Germany to make sure that match his objectives and interests.
