Expert Answers
How long can I work after my MS in the USA, Canada, the UK or Australia?
→Post-study work options after an MS typically include up to 36 months of STEM OPT in the USA, up to 3 years of PGWP in Canada, an 18-month post-study work visa in the UK (expected), and 2 to 3 years of post-study work rights in Australia. Check official pages.
Can I renew my Marshall Scholarship, and how would a third-year extension work for my DPhil?
→The Marshall Scholarship is not renewed annually. A one-year award cannot be renewed, while a two-year award can continue for another year after a first year of study. Two-year DPhil or PhD scholars may request a third year, but it is limited and not guaranteed.

Should I choose the March intake in the UK as an Indian student, and what are its pros and cons?
→The March intake in the UK is not better or worse than other intakes; it simply suits fewer students. It can mean an earlier start and works well for PhD and block-start courses, but very few universities offer it and timelines are tight. Check course pages.
