Are there options to do a master's only or should I go with a bachelor's if I want to study abroad?

Yes, you can apply directly for a master's degree abroad since you already have a bachelor's degree. This is the standard path for most students in your situation.

You only need to redo a bachelor's if you want to change fields completely or if a specific university requires it, which is uncommon. Doing a master's saves both time and money compared to starting over with a bachelor's.

Make sure your bachelor's degree and academic record meet the eligibility requirements for your chosen master's programs.
