Can you tell me more about the option of pursuing my masters in Italy and then keeping it as a backup or refresh option?

Yes, pursuing a master's in Italy is a strong backup or refresh option, offering recognized degrees and international exposure.

- Intake flexibility: Most Italian universities have a main intake in September, with some offering a January/February intake for select programs.
- Tuition fees: Typically range from €19,000 - €30,000, subject to change.
- Scholarships: Italian government scholarships are available for international students, often announced in spring.
- Post-study work visa: Italy offers a 12-month post-study work permit (PSW) after graduation, allowing you to gain work experience.

This route provides both academic and cultural benefits, making it a practical choice if you want to enhance your qualifications or keep career options open.
