Is it better to explore countries other than the USA due to high living costs in UK/Germany for a Master's?
Yes, exploring countries other than the USA can be a more cost-effective option due to high tuition and living costs in the USA.
- Germany: Public universities often have little to no tuition fees for international students. Annual living costs typically range from €11,000 to €15,000.
- UK: Tuition fees for international students are generally £11,000 - £38,000/year, with total annual costs (including living expenses) around £22,000 - £58,800.
Germany is usually the most affordable for Indian students, while the UK can also be cost-effective, especially for shorter master's programs. Consider program quality and post-study work visa (PSW) opportunities as well, as these vary by country.
