Can you suggest if I should take a one-year course in the UK or Dubai for a Master's?

A one-year master's in the UK is generally the better choice if you want strong global recognition and wider post-study work options.

- UK: Highly respected degrees, access to the Graduate Visa (lets you stay and work for up to 2 years after your course, subject to change), but higher tuition and living costs.
- Dubai: Lower overall costs, strong Indian community, and a six-month Job Seeker Visa after graduation. Longer-term work visas (like the Green Visa) are available for skilled professionals.

If your priority is international work experience and a globally recognized qualification, the UK is recommended. If cost and cultural familiarity matter more, Dubai is a good alternative.
