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?

Should I choose the March intake in the UK as an Indian student, and what are its pros and cons?
