Yes, it is possible to switch domains for a master’s degree abroad, but the flexibility depends on the course and university requirements. Some programs are open to students from diverse academic backgrounds, while others require prerequisite subjects or technical knowledge. For example, biology graduates may transition into areas like biotechnology, healthcare management, bioinformatics, public health, business analytics, or management-related programs. Completely unrelated technical fields may require additional preparation or prior exposure
