Can I show my professional experience despite gaps and short durations in UK/New Zealand for a Master's?
Yes, you can include your professional experience, even if there are gaps or short durations, when applying for master's programs in the UK or New Zealand. Admissions committees often value relevant work experience, especially if it aligns with your chosen field.
Universities may consider your overall profile, including your work history and how it supports your application. Explaining any employment gaps and highlighting skills gained during your career can strengthen your application.
Each university sets its own criteria, so requirements may vary. For tailored advice on presenting your experience, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
