Do I get good job packages after investing in a master's abroad or is it a loss of money in UK?
25 Jun 2026 · Answered by Mahalakshmi K · 1 min read
A Master's in Computer Science abroad, especially in the UK, usually leads to strong job prospects and higher starting salaries compared to India.
- UK starting salaries: £35,000 - £60,000/year for roles like Software Developer, Data Scientist, and Machine Learning Engineer (subject to change).
- India starting salaries: ₹4 - 12 lakh/year, depending on the institution and job role (subject to change).
With your strong academic background, pursuing a Master's abroad can offer better career opportunities and a solid return on investment. If you need guidance on next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
