Can you clarify the confusion I have about country options and budget in UK/Ireland for a Master's?
Here's a clear comparison of your master's study options in the UK, Ireland, USA, and Canada, focusing on budget and key factors:
- UK: Tuition is typically £15,000 - £45,000/year. Living costs are about £900 - £1,400/month. Most master's programs are 1 year. You can work up to 20 hours/week during term.
- Ireland: Tuition is usually €10,000 - €35,000/year. Living costs range from €800 - €1,800/month. Programs are mostly 1 year. You can work up to 20 hours/week during term.
- USA: Tuition ranges from $25,000 - $70,000/year. Living costs are $1,500 - $2,500/month. Most programs are 2 years. F-1 visa holders can work up to 20 hours/week on campus.
