Is it better to do a diploma related to my job or a second master's abroad given I have only two years of work experience?
A second master's abroad is best if you want to specialize further or change fields. Choose a diploma if you prefer a faster, more affordable way to gain practical skills related to your current job.
- Diploma: Shorter (usually 1 - 2 years), lower cost, focused on job-ready skills, helps you re-enter the workforce quickly.
- Second master's abroad: Deeper knowledge, international exposure, broader career options, but higher cost and longer time away from work.
Pick the option that best fits your career goals, budget, and how much time you can commit. If you need help deciding, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
