It depends on the country and program. Most master's programs abroad require a recognized bachelor's degree and proof of language proficiency (like IELTS or TOEFL). Work experience is usually not required for STEM or Arts programs, but business programs (such as MBAs) often prefer or require 2-5 years of professional experience.

- UK & Germany: Most master's programs do not require work experience, except some business or non-consecutive programs.
- UAE: MBA and similar business programs typically require at least 3 years of work experience.

With your academic background, you are well-qualified for most programs that do not require work experience. For programs that do, relevant internships or part-time roles can help.

If you need help identifying the right programs for your profile, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
