What level of US universities would make it worth coming to the US to do an MS from the UK? I know the situation in the US seems to be criticised quite often in terms of safety and job prospects for internationals but are there universities that are good enough to significantly mitigate the risk?
Hi, I got an offer from a college that’s T10 on US News ranking to study chemical engineering. I finished my undergrad in the UK in 2025 and have been working as a process engineer since. I can afford a year of studying the US so I am self funding but with all these posts saying it’s too difficult to find a job and the US hates international students I was wondering if it’s worth the hassle? Thanks
Hi, I have been planning to do my masters in chem eng at a t10 coming from the UK for just over a year now and as I am self funding, the plan involved exploring my options with opt and stem opt to gain us experience and salary. I have a year of process engineering experience but I’m not sure if it is worth the money if the new 100k opt fee is proposed. I know it’s just hearsay at the moment but even with it being a mere consideration for the administration would that deter companies from hiring internationals all together even from a top college and with work experience? Thanks
