Yes, you are eligible to pursue a PhD abroad. With your completed Master's degree and 36 months of work experience, you meet the typical requirements for many international PhD programs.

- Many countries like the USA, UK, Canada, and Germany offer PhD programs that combine coursework and research.
- Fully funded positions (covering tuition and a stipend) are often available, but are competitive and require a strong academic profile and research proposal.
- Standardized tests such as GRE, IELTS, or TOEFL may be required, depending on the country and university.

If you need help identifying suitable programs or preparing your application, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you through the process.
