If I get a T10 US MS but eventually have to leave the US, does the degree still help me move elsewhere?

Hey yall 🚶‍♀️ If I do an MS from a T10 US university but, for whatever reason, don’t manage to get work experience in the US after graduating and have to leave, how useful would that degree alone be for getting an AI/ML job in countries like Singapore, Canada, Australia, etc.? Does the reputation of the US university actually help internationally, or would I basically be treated like any other fresh graduate? Just wanna see if anyone had similar experiences because of visa issues after graduating and some advice would really help me out :)

Is it possible to do planning undergrad with a masters in engineering?

I’m a Computer science and Urban planning double major entering my junior year, I’ve always been somewhat interested in engineering but I was always a bad student. After a bunch of medical diagnoses and surgery I found out I’m actually not a terrible student! Just didn’t have the energy before to learn. My school doesn’t offer engineering and my first few semesters GPA is too bad to transfer to an instate school that has engineering. I’m hoping to take physics for a science credit and with CS I’ll go all the way to calc II. Is it unrealistic to go for an engineering masters? I’m also not too sure which type, I’m thinking civil or geospatial but I’m not sure if I know the full scope of either, I also have a lot of interest in transportation and am NYC based. I would love to stay here postgrad. Any advice is appreciated 🙏.

Advice whether Private or wait for public

Need advice regarding my Master's decision
Hi everyone, I really need some honest guidance. I graduated in 2023 with a B.Tech in IT + Minor in Data Science (CGPA 8.06), IELTS 6.5, and have 2 years of experience as a Technical Analyst.
I started applying to Germany for Summer 2026 and unfortunately got rejected. I applied to around 12 universities for Summer/Winter 2026 — 10 rejected and 2 are still pending.
I currently have an admit from a private university in Germany, but I'm confused whether I should accept it or wait and apply again for the next intake. I'm also considering Austria or Scotland as alternatives.
I honestly feel lost and don't have anyone to guide me. What would you do in my situation? Should I take the private university, wait and improve my profile for Germany, or explore another country?
Any genuine advice from people who have been through something similar would really help. 🙏

Just graduated so should I work first or do a Masters?

I just finished my BSc (Hons) in Global Supply Chain Management and I’m currently looking for jobs, but lately I’ve also been thinking about doing a Masters and honestly I’m quite confused about which direction I should take right now.

I’m 23F from Malaysia. I managed to graduate with First Class, and I’ve also been working on the side for around 5 years while studying. So I’m not completely new to working, but I obviously don’t have years of full-time corporate experience yet.

I’m mainly looking at procurement/supply chain jobs at the moment. I’ve had some opportunities come up, so it’s not necessarily that I can’t find a job. It’s more that I’m genuinely unsure whether I should start building my career now or continue studying while I’m still young.

Part of me thinks working first makes more sense. I can get proper industry experience, figure out which part of supply chain I actually enjoy (procurement, sourcing, logistics, planning, etc.) and then maybe do a Masters later if it actually helps me.

But then I also keep thinking, if I’m going to do a Masters eventually, why not just do it now while I’m still in study mode? Especially with the current job market, I’m wondering whether having a Masters would actually give me an advantage or whether employers would still value a few years of experience much more.

I also don't want to spend another 1–2 years doing a Masters just for the sake of having another qualification and then realise it didn't really make much difference.

So for those working in supply chain/procurement, especially in Malaysia, what would you do if you were around my age again?Would you do a Masters now or work for a few years and then do one?

And if you did a Masters, did it actually make a noticeable difference to your career, salary or opportunities?

I’d genuinely appreciate honest opinions. Even if you think I’m overthinking this, tell me 😂

Which country is best for grad school + program recommendations

I’m an international student and I have a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering from the US. I want to pursue a masters degree and I was admitted to a program in my alma mater, but I’m having serious second thoughts given everything happening in the US and given that my specific program was affected and now has very limited courses offered.

I want to get your opinions on graduate programs in the US, UK, Canada, Europe, Asia and honestly I’m open to going anywhere that offers good education and opportunities. I want to specifically compare different countries in terms of hands-on project based classes, which one favors exam based classes, research opportunities, engagement and involvement with stakeholders and the community, work opportunities for international students after graduation (I don’t plan to get sponsorship or live there forever, just work there for a couple of years), and salary after graduation.

I’m interested in programs that combine environmental engineering, human/community centered design, and public health/ medical related research. I also prefer project based courses instead of exam-heavy courses. I would also like to work while doing my masters if that’s possible.

Also, if any specific program comes to mind that you think I should look into please let me know!

Thank you all!

21-year-old in Sri Lanka studying Pure Maths, Applied Maths, Statistics & CS — what career should I aim for?

I’m 21 and currently studying a combination of Statistics, Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Computer Science in Sri Lanka (bachelor’s degree).
I’m trying to make a long-term career decision and would really appreciate advice from people who are already working in these fields, especially internationally.
My priorities are:
● A career with strong demand over the next 10–20 years
● Good job stability/security
● High earning potential later in my career
● A realistic path to working abroad
● I’m open to doing a Master’s or further study if it significantly improves my opportunities
● I’d ideally like a field where my combination of maths, statistics and CS gives me an advantage
Some areas I’m currently considering are:
● Data Science / Machine Learning
● AI / ML Engineering
● Statistics / Biostatistics
● Quantitative Finance
● Actuarial Science
● Software Engineering
● Operations Research / Optimization
● Data/Analytics
● Cybersecurity
● Other math-heavy careers I may not have considered
For people who have experience in these areas:
What would you recommend someone with my academic background focus on if they were starting today?
And more importantly, which fields do you think will still have strong demand and high salaries 10–20 years from now, rather than just being hot right now?
If you’re working abroad, I’d also love to hear which countries/markets are good targets and whether a Master’s is worth doing.
I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have actually worked in these careers rather than just general career advice. Thanks!

Considering a Digital Humanities Master.. thoughts?

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Informatics and currently work as a Product Owner. I’m considering doing a Master’s in Digital Humanities but I’m not sure if it makes sense with my background.

What interests me is the combination of technology and the social sciences/humanities. I don’t necessarily want to go deeper into the technical side, but rather understand how technology affects society, culture and people.
I feel like this could complement my current background quite well, but I’m wondering if I’m overlooking any downsides or if it might be a strange choice career-wise.

The other option I’m considering is UX/UI, although I’m not sure if I actually want to specialize in that… again, not sure and I am very indecisive.
(As a side note, I’d also like to learn frontend development in my free time, but I see that more as a personal interest than as a potential career change.)

Would you recommend a Digital Humanities Master’s in my situation or would you go for something else?

Also: I’m including the course list from the previous year, in case anyone wants to take a look at it for reference.

Which country is best for a Master’s in 2027 if my goal is to study, work and eventually settle?

Hi everyone,
I’m from India and planning to pursue a Master’s abroad in 2027. I’ve completed a B.Sc. in Psychology (56%, CGPA 5.88) and I’m currently exploring different Master’s options, mainly in Public Health, Social Work, Psychology-related fields, Health Management, etc.
My main priority isn’t just getting a degree. I want to choose a country where I have a realistic chance to:
Get admission with my academic profile
Study at a reasonable overall cost
Find a job after graduation
Get a decent post-study work period
Eventually obtain PR/permanent residency
Have a good quality of life
Avoid taking an unnecessarily huge education loan
I’m currently considering countries such as Finland, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Poland, and other European countries, but I’m open to suggestions outside Europe as well.
For people who are already studying or working abroad:
1. Which country would you recommend for my profile and goals in 2027?
2. Which Master’s courses would have the best employment prospects after a Psychology degree?
3. Which countries have the most realistic PR/settlement pathway?
4. How difficult is it actually to find a job after graduation as an international student?
5. What would be a realistic total budget for tuition + living expenses?
6. Would you choose Finland/Ireland/Germany/Sweden/etc. in the current situation, or is there a better option?
I’m especially interested in real experiences from Indians/international students who have already studied and settled (or tried to settle) in these countries.
I’d really appreciate honest advice rather than just university/agent marketing. Thanks!

[Admissions Advice] ASU vs Northeastern Boston vs UTD for MS CS / Waiting on Purdue & UMass

Hi everyone,

I need some advice on which university I should choose.

I’ve received admits from for Spring 2027:

  • ASU – MS CS
  • Northeastern Boston – MS CS
  • UTD – MS CS

I’m still waiting for decisions from:

  • UMass Amherst
  • Purdue

My first preference is Purdue, followed by UMass Amherst. However, I need to pay the deposit for the admitted universities before September 1st, so I may have to confirm one of the current admits before getting a decision from Purdue/UMass, which of ASU, Northeastern Boston, and UTD would you recommend for MS CS, considering job opportunities, ROI, internships/co-op, location, and opportunities for international students?

Also, I applied to Purdue and UMass on July 20th, with all the required documents submitted. Should I email the universities to ask about the status/timeline, or is it better to wait? Does anyone have an idea of when I might hear back from them?

Any insights from current students/alumni would be really helpful.

us vs european masters degrees

hello everyone!

it’s my dream to become a librarian! i recently graduated with a english degree and am looking into masters programs. it’s also my dream to live in europe (i’ve lived in austria and poland and adored it, but the country is less important to me at this point)

i’m curious what’s the best way to go about getting a masters degree? should i get an american degree or would a european masters program be better? if i get an american degree, would i even be qualified to work in europe? i don’t want to waste my time getting an american degree and then having to get a whole new degree and certifications in europe if i could just start there.

if anyone has any experience with this i would appreciate your advice! thank you 😊

Where can I get an HR Master's with decent jobs?

Hi everyone,
I've officially reached the stage of life where I have 37 tabs open, 4 spreadsheets, and 0 clarity. my_qualifications: 24F, India, 9/9/8, B.Com (DU), M.Com, 1 year of Big 4 experience, and I'll have ~ 3 years of total work experience by the 2027 intake.
I want to build a long-term career in HR / Talent Acquisition / HR Operations / People
Analytics.
I keep going in circles between
Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, and the UK.
Every YouTube video says "all are great", every Reddit thread says "it depends", and my bank account says "please calm down." For someone from a commerce background, which country would you choose for actual job opportunities + ROl, not just pretty campus photos and Linkedin captions?
Also, is MSc HRM generally a safer bet than People Analytics for long-term career growth in HR?
Looking for brutally honest advice from people who have studied or work in HR abroad. I can handle the truth (probably).
