Is it feasible to pursue both masters and PhD abroad, and what are the options in UK/New Zealand for a Master's?
Yes, it is feasible to pursue both a Master's and a PhD abroad through integrated or sequential programs.
- UK: Many universities offer integrated PhD programs, where you complete a one-year Master's followed by a three-year PhD. Some also offer dual award PhDs with partner institutions.
- New Zealand: Master's programs with research components can lead to a PhD; direct integrated programs are less common, but transitions are supported.
- Italy and Spain: Options include double or dual Master's degree programs, sometimes in partnership with other universities, which can provide strong preparation for PhD studies.
Funding opportunities and program structures vary by country and university, and are subject to change.
