Yes, you can apply for a PhD abroad after completing an MS in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Most universities accept applications from candidates with a relevant master's degree for direct entry into their PhD programs.

Applying for a PhD with only a diploma (without a bachelor's degree) is generally not accepted by most institutions.

With your four-year bachelor's degree, MS, and 48 months of work experience, you are well-qualified to pursue a PhD abroad. If you need help identifying universities or understanding specific admission requirements, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
