Is it better to choose Dubai or UK for masters considering my CGPA and budget?
Dubai is likely a better fit for your master's studies given your CGPA of 6.5 and budget constraints.
- Admission: Dubai universities generally accept a 6.5 CGPA for master's programs, while UK universities often require a higher CGPA (typically 7.0 or above).
- Cost: Tuition and living expenses in Dubai are generally lower than in the UK.
- Post-study work: The UK offers a two-year post-study work visa (PSW), while Dubai's post-study work options are more limited and usually require a job offer.
If lower costs and easier admission are your priorities, Dubai is preferable. If post-study work opportunities are most important, consider the UK.
