Can you guide me on countries where I can work while studying and get a degree or scholarship suitable for someone with 15 years of work experience in UK/Ireland for a Master's?
Ireland, Canada, Australia, and the UK are strong options where you can work while studying and pursue degrees or scholarships that value extensive work experience.
- Ireland: Work up to 20 hours/week during term, full-time on holidays. Eligible for a 24-month post-study work visa (PSW) after a master's. Scholarships like the Government of Ireland International Education Scholarship often consider professional backgrounds.
- Canada: Work 20 hours/week during term, full-time during breaks. Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) up to 3 years. Many scholarships and programs value experienced professionals.
- Australia: Work up to 48 hours/fortnight during term, unlimited during breaks. Temporary Graduate visa offers up to 4 years post-study. Scholarships often factor in work experience.
- UK: Work 20 hours/week during term, full-time during vacations. Graduate Route visa allows 2 years post-study. Scholarships such as Chevening value leadership and experience.
English proficiency (IELTS/PTE) is required. Your 15 years of experience is a strong advantage for scholarships and job opportunities.
