Both New Zealand and Ireland are strong options for your master’s. If you value a longer post-study work visa and peaceful surroundings, New Zealand is a great fit. If you prefer a larger job market and vibrant culture, Ireland stands out. Consider your career goals and personal preferences to choose what’s best for you. Let me know your priorities, and I can help you decide.

Yes, Ireland is an excellent alternative for your Master's in Computer Science. With a 79% in your Bachelor's and 14 months of work experience, you meet the entry requirements for many Irish universities.

- Eligibility: Most Irish universities require at least a 2.1 honors degree (typically 60%+), so your profile is well-suited.
- English proficiency: You’ll need to take an English test like IELTS or PTE; most programs require IELTS 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0). Requirements may vary by university.
- Career prospects: Ireland offers strong academic programs and good post-study work opportunities.

If you need help with university options or the application process, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
