Are Canada, Australia, and New Zealand good country options for my master's studies, and is Germany less preferred?
Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are all strong options for your master’s studies, each offering quality education, good post-study work visa (PSW) options, and pathways to permanent residency. Germany is also a good choice, especially if you prefer low tuition fees and are open to learning German.
