Hi!

I am a new grad nurse and am approaching year 1 on my current (and first) nursing job. I’m enjoying nursing, and I’m thinking about doing a masters for it. But the thing is, I’ve always told myself that I’d wanna do my nursing masters ABROAD. I’ve almost never wanted to do my masters here in the US unless it absolutely had to come to it not only for cost, but to check off a bucket list dream of moving abroad for a longer period of time. My current plan is to work for 2 years at least and apply to schools from there, since a lot of these programs want at least 2 years experience.

The thing is that since nursing is so specialized from nation-to-nation, there are virtually no resources to this online, and none of my colleagues have been able to give me any advice because it’s just not very common to do so it appears. So here are my questions:

1. Will nursing positions in the US accept international accreditation? I’m considering nurse education, maybe something akin to a clinical instructor at a university or a nurse educator on an inpatient floor. Hell, I’ve even considered specializing to hospice or palliative care. Or public health. Not really considering NP school however, so won’t have to worry about NP licensing.

2. What programs abroad accept international students? My top 2 choices at this moment are Kings College London (says that they accept students from abroad and I like Europe! Been to Ireland to study before!) or Chiba University’s nursing research program in full English (in Japan, and yes I speak adv. beginner/intermediate-level Japanese for daily life). My preference would honestly be towards Japan or Asia in general and that Chiba program is kind of a dream for me, but my concern is the US’ standards not accepting non-Western credentials.

Any and all advice appreciated! I just haven’t been able to find good answers at all regarding a masters abroad for nurses.

Hey guys good morning from West Africa, I’m a graduate from Bingham University in Nigeria, I studied Guidance and Counselling and I’m looking for a scholarship in guidance and counselling or any related course. I’ve searched(maybe I’m not looking where I should) and come up empty, was wondering if you guys can point me in the way I should go.

Hello everyone, I’m Menna from Egypt, and I’m currently preparing to apply to universities in the U.S. for Fall 2025. I’m studying Business Analysis, and one of my biggest challenges right now is finding someone who can write me a strong academic recommendation letter. This can be difficult in Egypt due to limited access to school counselors or mentors familiar with the process.

If any professionals or academics here are willing to offer some advice or even assist me in drafting a recommendation letter, I’d really appreciate it. Additionally, if there are any platforms or individuals I can reach out to for international recommendation letters or application support, I’d be very grateful for any pointers.

Thank you so much for any guidance or support.

So i'm at a unique place , I moved from India to usa last year(visa-GC), i did my UG in India , working as a Construction inspector/ assistant office engineer in the civil/construction domain , my UG degree is in mechanical engineering.

Does anyone know how long it typically takes to receive a decision from Rutgers New Brunswick for the MSCS Spring 2025 intake? My application was waitlisted about a week ago.

Hi everyone,

I just received my admission for the MS in Computer Science program at the University of Texas at Arlington for the Spring 2025 intake! 🎉

I'm looking forward to connecting with fellow students who also got admitted to UTA for the Spring '25 intake. It would be great to interact, share information, and plan ahead.

Additionally, I’d love to connect with seniors who can provide some guidance and tips on academics, housing, or any other aspect of student life at UTA.

Looking forward to your responses!

Best,

Hey there!

I am an international student and want to carry up a masters in business/ analysis/ data related field. I come from a top school in my country (Third world), my work experience and extra curriculars are great but my gpa is quite low (2.2/4). In my school that's average but I see most europeen unis requiring 2.7+ or even 3+.

Do you know any schools/ countries where I can find cheap masters with not much focus on GPA? I am planning to take GMAT and hope to score high.

By cheap I mean preferably less than 3500e a year, or with scholarships focused on overall merit.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to go back to school for either a masters or phd program in Ecology in the near future and a good friend of mine also suggested looking at international programs. As someone who has also had an interest in living overseas at some point in my life this seems appealing at first glance.

I am still new to the graduate school process let alone the prospect of finding an international program, what are the first steps that I would need to take to begin this search and process?

Some background on myself. I am m31 with a bachelor's degree in Biology. I have worked various jobs since graduating but I have spent the last 6 years primarily working for USGS in an Aquatic Foodbase department. I have spent months in the field as well as years in the lab processing samples and training others to do so. I also helped design and lead the field and lab components of a leaf decompostion study which was published recently.

Any help with this or related information that might be useful is very appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello! I'm developing a note service that uses AI to automatically take notes, capture and summarize YouTube videos or audio files. Our product can free you from the difficulties of note-taking by creating truly human-level notes, not crappy summaries. It also translates for you, which is great for international students who are unfamiliar with the language. I'd like people on this reddit to try the product and give me feedback. It's free and ad-free, just leave a comment below and I'll send you a link!

If I am applying to masters scholarships in public health / mental health / psychology, would founding a club that’s verified by national youth platform increase my chances?

I have already founded it and I am passionate it but I am asking to know if founding a club matter for such admissions , I also have extensive extracurricular activities and I have worked on 2 research projects and now doing the third without any publications, my GPA is high very good (82%) and I have done 3 years of clinical internship.

Can you tell me if founding the club would cover my GPA Can you suggest public health scholarships in any part of the world I can apply for that care about extracurricular activities?

Hi, I am recent bachelor engineering graduate from Tribhuvan University, Nepal with about 74% aggregate. I want to pursue my masters in Data Science or Analytics. I wont be able to pay for my masters and need scholarship or funded programme. What might be the countries or unis that can help me ?

My profile

Do we have any universities in USA which offers specialization in robotics as a choice for masters in computer science?

I am looking forward to apply for Masters in Artificial Intelligence or Robotics for spring but i am really confused and concerned about job opportunity after my graduation. I kindly request whoever completed Masters or perusing masters now could suggest some good university with available level of job opportunity.

Many of my peers have told me that this may not be a good time for doing masters if your goal is to earn more money eventually because of the US Canada economy being down and the job markets being bad for atleast next 2-3 years. Then taking up a huge education loan with the very high interest rate currently, is gonna put up a lot of financial pressure if it you don't get a good job after graduating.

Also, US elections are coming up in November which will affect the visa and immigration laws.

I have already given my GRE and TOEFL exams and was planning for January 2025 intake. My reason for doing masters is that I've always wanted to gain deeper knowledge (since my Bachelors was in Electrical, not CS) and do research and if all goes well I would wanna do a PhD eventually as well. Also, I have been working professionally for 4 years now, and I wanna make a bigger career jump next, both in terms of designation and income. So I thought getting a Masters degree will help with that as well, increase my skills and credibility if in future I decide to start a venture.

I don't understand economics and markets and all very well. So that's why I'm putting a post up here.

I have given my GRE and got a score of 312 (153 Verbal + 159 Quant + 3.5 Analytical). My TOEFL exam is in a few days.

I am not happy with my GRE scores and would like to give the exam again, mostly by the end of June. I wanted to know if it would be too late to start sending out applications to Universities by then or not. I know that for Spring 2025 (Jan 2025) intake, applications have started in June.

Anyone has used WES and had their documents sent by email? My university doesn't have any agreement with WES for any of the electronic methods they mention (SFTP, API, etc.) so email is the only option in my case (postal mail is expensive and slow). However, I have been looking for the WES' email address that my university should send the documents to and I haven't found any address so far, not even in the FAQ. Does anyone know what is their address?

I'm from India. My_qualifications: Completed first year of MSc physics, BSc physics with 8.357 CGPA, both at the same central university. Completed 6 month intern project, 1 paper may get published soon (in condensed matter physics).

My question is, should I apply for MS this year or wait and apply for PhD next year? (In context of job, seats availability, scholarships...)

Which is easier to get?

Which will cost more? (Do even PhD cost money?)

I am a 3rd year Computer Engineering student at a tier 2 or 3 college in India

• 1 normal or a good LOR.

I am applying in this September for FALL 2025 admission.

Review my profile and suggest me for development.

I am opting for cybersecurity or related domains since it is what I like and second is general Software engineering domain.

Please someone guide me towards getting myself on a right track or improve my position from here onwards. I do have my dream to go to Standford for MS, and I want that your guidance might help me achieve it. I know my profile isn't great for getting accepted into Standford but it's important that I try my best to hold no regrets. Also suggest me some colleges that would be fit for my profile if possible.

:) :) Thank you <3 <3

So I am nearing the end of my senior year. I am graduating from a top 20 university in the U.S. and I am considering going to the UK for law school. I was just wondering how people who were on financial aid afford to live though? All of my undergraduate studies were covered by grants and scholarships but I do not know the process of how it works abroad. Does anyone have any idea? Or experience?

Greetings r/gradadmissions_intl,

I am an international student that got into a few US (Georgia Tech, Purdue, UT Dallas, Boston University) and a few Canadian (University of Toronto, UBC etc.) universities for my physics undergrad (Applied Physics at Purdue and GT).

​

I currently have enough money to fund at most 50k USD (~67k CAD) per year (quite the stretch but yes), and am very worried for the future: i.e. can I get a job in Canada/US as an international with a bachelors in Physics?

​

If I do indeed need a PhD in a specific field, it might be incredibly hard for me to fund that too.

​

Would appreciate inputs from anyone on this, and any advice you'd have for me on the college search. Cheers!

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).
