After completing my degree in 2024, where should I study further to get a career advantage in UK/USA for a Master's?
27 Jul 2026 · Answered by Saru Sharma · 1 min read
For a strong career advantage after your 2024 degree, pursuing a Master's in Computer Science in the UK or USA is highly recommended.
- UK: Offers 1-year Master's programs, which are cost-effective and provide a PSW (post-study work visa) for up to 2 years after graduation.
- USA: Programs typically last 2 years, with a strong focus on research and industry connections. The OPT (Optional Practical Training) allows up to 3 years of work after STEM degrees.
Choose the UK for a faster path to work and lower overall cost. Choose the USA for longer study, more research opportunities, and a larger tech industry.
