Can you first tell me about the single good option and then about Australia in UK for a Master's/PhD?

Yes, with your four-year bachelor's degree and no backlogs, the UK is a strong option for your master's. Most UK universities accept your academic background, and many may waive the IELTS requirement if your previous education was in English. The UK's Graduate Route visa lets you work in the UK for up to two years after completing your master's, offering valuable international experience.

Australia is another excellent choice. Australian universities require a recognized bachelor's degree and proof of English proficiency (usually IELTS or PTE). The post-study work visa (Temporary Graduate Visa, Subclass 485) allows you to stay and work in Australia for:
- 3 years after a master's degree
- 2 years after a bachelor's degree
- 4 years after a PhD

If you study in a regional area, you may be eligible for an extra 1-2 years on your post-study visa.

If you want to explore specific universities, courses, or scholarship options, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you further.
