Can you provide me an overall brief about the estimated budget and process for doing a master's abroad so that I can discuss it with my parents in UK/Ireland?

Here's a clear overview of the estimated budget and process for a master's in the UK or Ireland:

- Tuition fees: UK: £12,000 - £30,000/year; Ireland: €12,000 - €20,000/year (subject to change by university and course).
- Living expenses: UK: £900 - £1,400/month; Ireland: €600 - €1,500/month, higher in major cities.
- Visa and health insurance: UK: visa fee £558 and Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) £776/year (subject to change). Ireland: visa fees vary.
- Total annual cost: UK: £22,000 - £56,000; Ireland: €22,300 - €46,500 (including tuition and living).
- Post-study work visa (PSW): Both countries allow up to 2 years after graduation to work.

Application is usually direct to universities (Ireland) or via UCAS/direct (UK), with main intake in September. Costs and policies are subject to change.
