Yes, besides the UK, Ireland, and Germany, several other countries are strong choices for studying artificial intelligence (AI) and data science:

- United States: Leading AI research, top universities, up to 3 years post-study work (OPT), but high costs and competitive visas.
- Canada: Growing AI sector, up to 3 years post-study work (PGWP), more affordable tuition, and a clear path to permanent residency.
- Australia: Quality programs, up to 4 years post-study work visa, multicultural environment, but higher tuition.
- Netherlands: Innovative education, English-taught programs, 1-year job search visa, expanding tech sector.
- Singapore: Top Asian tech hub, strong AI programs, post-study work options, but competitive job market and high living costs.
- China, South Korea, Israel, Switzerland: Each offers good AI research and post-study work options, but language or cultural factors may apply.

Each country offers different advantages in education quality, industry exposure, and post-study work visas (subject to change). If you want to explore these options further, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
