Can I apply to multiple countries in parallel and how does that process work in UK/USA for a Master's?
Yes, you can apply to master's programs in multiple countries at the same time. This increases your chances of admission and lets you compare options for courses, costs, scholarships, and post-study work (PSW) opportunities.
For the USA and UK:
- USA: Apply directly to each university. You'll typically need transcripts, GRE scores (if required), a personal statement, CV, and recommendation letters. Deadlines are usually December - February for September intake, but vary by university.
- UK: Apply directly to each university for most master's programs. Requirements usually include transcripts, degree certificates, references, personal statement, and proof of English proficiency. Deadlines differ by university - some have set dates, others accept applications on a rolling basis.
Managing multiple applications requires careful organization of deadlines and documents for each university.
