Is there any better country option than New Zealand for my studies abroad in UK/Sweden?

There’s no single “best” country for your master’s - it depends on your goals, budget, and priorities.

- New Zealand: Strong for post-study work (up to 3 years open work visa after a master’s), welcoming for international students. - UK: Offers a 2-year post-study work visa (Graduate Route) after a master’s, with options to switch to a work visa later. - Sweden: Allows a 6-month stay after graduation to look for work or start a business.

All three are solid options for civil engineering with good post-study work rights. Your choice should depend on your career plans, financial situation, and preferred lifestyle.
