Is it better to try for German public universities or Ireland universities for my course for a Master's?
Germany is generally the more cost-effective choice for a Master's in Computer Science, especially if you have a strong academic background like your 8.9 CGPA.
- Germany: Minimal tuition fees at public universities, 2-year programs, and an 18-month post-study work visa (subject to change). Many programs are in English, but some may require basic German skills.
- Ireland: 1-year programs, all taught in English, but higher tuition fees (€16,000 - €26,000/year, subject to change) and living costs. Offers a 2-year post-study work visa (subject to change).
If affordability and longer job search time matter most, Germany is recommended. If you prefer a shorter program and English-speaking environment and are comfortable with higher costs, Ireland is also a strong option.
