I previously applied for UK but did not go; can you help me explore other countries for a one-year master's degree in computer science or data science in Australia/Canada?

Yes, several countries offer one-year Master's programs in Computer Science or Data Science outside the UK.

- United States: Some universities have accelerated one-year options, but most programs are two years and tuition is typically higher.
- Canada: Select universities offer one-year master's programs, especially for students with strong academic backgrounds. Canada is known for favorable immigration policies and a robust job market.
- Australia: Programs usually range from one to two years. Some universities offer one-year options and provide post-study work visa (PSW) opportunities.
- Europe: Countries like Germany, France, and the Netherlands have reputable one-year master's programs, often with lower tuition fees at public universities.
- Singapore: Offers intensive one-year programs with strong industry connections in technology.

Program availability, fees, and post-study work options are subject to change. If you’d like help finding programs that match your profile and goals, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
