Hi,

I'm. in the process of shortlisting unis in germany for masters. I'm a Computer engineering graduate hence the preference for computer sci.
Can someone share some info on the pros and cons of going for applied computer science or is computer science better when it comes to long term goals where employment is the main factor?

I dont know German yet but I will be learning soon and right now I'm looking at english taught programs.

Additional question : I've been looking at Master @ IBM program and was wondering if someone had more info that what they advertise online?

1. What kind of support does the school provide to students in the Master@IBM program? How was the interview process and the difficulty level of the questions asked?

2. Have you had any opportunities for hands-on experience or projects with IBM during the program and is it more technical based or administrative or a healthy mix of both?

3. How is the course experience?

4. What were the stats to get into Hector

Thanks!

Hi!

I'm currently looking into obtaining a master's degree and came across Global Business School Barcelona. I was wondering if anyone on here is currently attending or has completed one of their programmes and what you think of it (so far).

Hello everyone !

I'm a South Asian looking to study masters in France in CS/IT/relevant programs where it will be fully taught in English in schools/institutions . I have a undergrad CGPA of 2.82/4(passed in mid 2022) with no research and publications and an IELTS score of 7.5 but no French language credentials. I have been doing a tutoring job in a tutor centre ever since. I have some questions and confusions regarding the whole process :

​

1. Which should I apply for ? Ecole, University, or other institutions where my focus will be on the professional sector/industry ? How to find those programs on the internet ?(Campus France doesn't include all of them some say.)

2. Is it possible to get into any low/mid tier Ecole, University, or other institutions even with this score ? I have a maximum budget of 7500 Euros for tuition fees per year(considering it will be a 2-2.5 year study at most)

3. My country is not on the Etudes en France list. Some say I can apply into 7 programs maximum if I apply to the concerned institution directly to their website online. Is this true ?

4. Will my study gap cause any problem here ?

Please help me with as much as info and suggestions you can provide quickly as the deadlines are looming. Thanks in advance.

Hey,

my friend is from the US and she would like to get her master's degree in Germany. The university doesn't want to allow her to apply though, since she didn't write a bachelor's thesis to get her bachelor's degree and that's a part of the application criteria. However, she told me those aren't very common in the US. She fully completed her bachelor's degree in the US. Has anybody been through or encountered a similar situation? It's pretty weird to be honest.

Hello everyone.

I have a question that I've been looking around the internet for a little while now. So I want to live and work in Europe permanently, right? Well I'm looking to start over there by going to graduate university, specifically in Germany due to the low cost.

One of the universities I've had my eye on is the University of Cologne. And it has a couple different degrees, specifically Masters of Science in different business topics (Analytics, Marketing, Supply chain, etc.) It also has an International Management (MIM) program. However, it doesn't have a just general MBA program.

I was wondering, having worked for the past 3 years, would an MIM be worth it? The internet has generally explained that MIMs are for those without work experience and just getting into the working world.

For some background, I graduated bachelors with a degree in the arts of psychology, but haven't used that. So I don't really have a background in business outside of working in the stock business realm for the past few years. Meanwhile, a bunch of these Masters of Science degrees seem to expect a business background.

Just looking for some help or if anyone might have some good explanations/ideas.

Thank you!

I'm a Non-EU citizen(South Asian) who wants to study my Masters in Europe in CS/IT related subjects. I have a low Bachelors CGPA(2.82 out of 4) in CS which I completed in the middle of last year. I gave my IELTS on January this year and got 7.5 . Been trying to get out of my country but I couldn't do it finally due to some financial, personal and family related problems. My budget in total over my Masters period is 12500 Euros and I want to stay in Europe permanently upon completion of my study.

Considering all the informations above which countries in Europe should I be prioritizing ? My shortlist includes Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, France and Spain for now. (I chose these countries as they are the only European countries with their respective embassies present in my country.)

I need a quick solution as the application deadlines are ticking. Please help me with as much as information you can provide.

Thanks in advance.

Do y'all think there's actually any possibility of getting a full scholarship (or atleast 70%) as an international student with minimal ECA? (I study Edexcel IAL, my finals are next year May, I'll get A/A* in Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Further Maths, I've qualified for the National Math Olympiad in my country too(Bangladesh))

I'm a mechanical engineering student with interest in aerospace domain. I got offered an opportunity to an exchange programme at ESEIAAT. There are English courses offered at the uni and the reviews are pretty good. I don't know much else apart from this. Is there anything I should know before hand about Spain or how the foreign exchange situation is over there? I understand that doing masters is completely up to me and the work I do over there.

I am from Nepal. I have done research projects related to theoretical and computational plasma physics and solar physics. I had planned to apply to US universities for PhD in plasma
or astronomy/astrophysics, where the professors had similar research fields as my research projects. However, all the professors I emailed directly or indirectly replied that they are not taking new students this year. And the other professors' research in plasma and astrophysics differs from my project. Though I am interested in those topics, I do not have much knowledge about them, and some are even experimental research, which I have not been exposed to. Due to this, I am having trouble making decisions and writing the SOP. What shall I do when choosing universities and writing my SOP? Shall I write a broad SOP, and how do I write it? PLEASE HELP
I do not have a research paper or thesis, but only a term paper project.

Grad School Suggestion

I am planning to apply for Ph.D. the next fall in the USA. I have good results(3.87/4.00) in my CS bachelor's from the best university in my country(Bangladesh). I am currently doing masters in the same institution. I have published 5 papers and worked on multiple research projects. My published papers are mostly related to the COVID pandemic. I want to pursue my PhD in computational biology.

I am finding it difficult to shortlist programs. I have so far narrowed down a list of schools:

1. CMU
2. MIT
3. UIUC
4. Princeton
5. UCSD

Can you suggest some more programs based on my profile? You can check my website.

Thanks in advance.

What the title says.

Hey guys, so I have a Bachelor's degree from a UK university (outside the UK), I got an internship in consulting this summer, but otherwise no formal experience. I am now focused on getting a full-time job, but I have been also considering applying for a Master's degree in Spain and moving there for a while. With that, I am also hearing a lot about high unemployment rates and generally difficulty of getting a job there. I would love to hear from any former international students who studied in Spain - if they actually experienced this and overall would you recommend Spain as a destination for a Master's degree? I'd like to ideally get a consulting job.

I also wanna briefly point out why I started considering Spain in the first place - I have learned the language for a few years and enjoy it a lot. Obviously, without regular practice, my level is probably much lower now, but I think I can get it to B2 by studying and maybe taking a language course.

i am a high school student who is looking to pursue bachelors in switzerland.

Hi! Im really hoping to get a Masters in Psychology abroad because my partner is Italian and I would like to be closer to her and would like to find a way to live in Europe. It's been a dream for such a long time. I dont know what country I would end up and don't know if I would try to get a license. Has anyone on this sub taken this path with any success and have advice or university recommendations?

If anyone’s done a program here, I’d love to hear about it and get your two cents on making the move/making the most of this experience. Danke!

I’m not sure I can get any help but we never know. I am currently enrolling in a master in South Korea and I’m really happy about it however, I spend my last semester of bachelor abroad and the transcript with my grade was given too late by this university abroad to my home university. At the time I just received an email informing me that my grade and diploma will be give to me as soon as the office re open in the middle of august. Now my problem is I must submit to the university in Korea Amy diploma with an apostille. Needless to say it takes 4 weeks in my country to get a visa so I would not be able to attend the first month of my semester. The university in South Korea already have a copy of expected graduation stating how much credits I was missing to graduate and all my school transcript. I tried emailing some professor for advice but I’m quite lost (I also explained my situation in an email to the South Korean university and I still am expecting an answer) Has anyone ever been in a similar situation, or does anyone have any advice ? Thank you in advance for any help.

Hey,

How likely is it to get into a mid-tier university, in the US, that doesn't cost more than $30k tuition fee for a Masters in Marketing (international student). If yes, can you please list some of those universities that can offer a scholarship/or come under my budget. Preferably ranked below 500.

Would be very thankful.

I dont know if my application is good

Hi guys

I was elected leader on a mini company project with DELL and JA, basically the project was to open a company runed by students with we launched a new product to the market

Hi everyone,

I recently accepted an offer for the University of Copenhagen's MSc program in Physics. I figured from the website I would get loans to finance my study for the first year, and finance the second year with the department's scholarships given to top international students (that are not EU citizens). However, I was recently informed by a financial advisor from the University of Copenhagen that they were refused recertification for Title IV, so I "will not be able to use loans to fund studies at our university". I believe this is just for FAFSA. Is there any way I can get a loan elsewhere to finance my studies. What is the best thing to do in this scenario? How would I still be able to get a loan? All the loan options I saw were for international students studying in the United States, and cannot find anything to finance me. I would need about $15k USD to finance tuition for one year. I am set on going to the University of Copenhagen, and really do not want to change plans.

How to know which clinical psychology programs are international students friendly?

I had checked for German MSc requirements last year, when there were no APS requirements for the degree programs themselves. Sure, for visa it is required, but I though I could get APS in time after being accepted, with a provisional certificate. However, now I come back to check the requirements, and uni-assist as well as some degree programs require APS certificate.

That is not all. APS also requires me to submit TestAS scores since I haven't received my B.Tech degree yet. Now, the nearest TestAS is on 22nd April, with about 2 weeks for results, plus a month for APS processing. This leads to APS being ready around June 7! That's way too late for international deadline. Is there anything I can do about the APS? Also, doesn't APS require acceptance letter from the German university themselves? It doesn't make sense.

upon hearing about WGU, i have been interested to apply, however WGU only accepts students that are living and residents in the US, and i live in asia so now i am looking for other options

I am looking for affordable online grad schools, it may or may not be competency based, that is around 15,000 - 20,000 USD for the whole masters degree (if less than this then it is better!) and I am thinking about getting a Master's (not necessarily master in science) in EITHER

• cybersecurity
• information technology
• information system
• computer science
• computer engineering

i have been looking at a lot of universities such as arizona state, University of Texas at Austin, texas a&m, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, University of London, penn state world campus and more... however, most (if not all) of them require a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering or information technology or any degree that is a bit related such as electrical engineering or so to be able to be considered for the program. However I graduated with a Materials Engineering degree and now I am working in the the field of IT security / cybersecurity, hence i want to get a graduate degree program in either cybersecurity or computer science or information technology.

i am not looking to graduate in the best university or a top ivy league university, i just need a decent or good reputation university like WGU

--

tldr, looking for a university that is

• fully online masters degree in cybersecurity, information technology, information system, computer science or computer engineering
• accepts students that do not have a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science or related fields
• cost less than 15,000 - 20,000 USD for the whole program

Hi y'all,

I just had an interview for a PhD spot and was wondering if I should send a quick thank you email. If so, do I just send it to the committee head, or all three people who interviewed me (one being my prospective advisor who I already know).

I graduated with my undergrad degree several years ago and decided that I want to pursue a master's degree abroad. I'm currently decided on a master's program in my field at the Polytechnic University of Valencia and have started the pre-enrollment process.

• I've already had my degree and transcript legalized, but it seems that I need them to be translated to Spanish by a sworn translator. How much does this usually cost?
• One of the required documents listed is: "Certificate from your university about carried out studies. This certificate must contain the person and contact data (including e-mail) in order to be able to verify the provided documents." What is this exactly? Just contact information of someone in the department of my undergraduate program? Does this also need to be translated or anything?
• Approximately how long should I expect the student visa process to take?
• I'm taking the SIELE Global exam next month to certify my fluency level. Will my results need to legalized and/or translated?
• The pre-enrollment form allowed me to indicate an e-mail for a Spanish consulate to send confirmation of acceptance. Without context will they just keep that record or am I going to need some official documented form of acceptance that I bring when it comes time to apply for the student visa?

Hello everyone,

I want to study engineering after college and I can’t really find informations online. Can you please tell me more about being an engineer student in France? What students can do with a bachelor degree, master degree and how they can get into the engineer domain?

Thank you so much!
