What are the costs, IELTS band requirements, and scholarship processes for pursuing a double master's degree abroad in Europe?

It depends on the country and university, but double master's degrees abroad usually have higher costs and specific IELTS and scholarship requirements.

- Costs: You’ll typically pay tuition for both degrees, making total fees higher than a single master's. Tuition can range from $20,000 - $60,000/year (US) or be lower in Europe. Living expenses add $10,000 - $20,000/year, depending on city and lifestyle.

- IELTS band: Most programs require a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 - 7.0. Some competitive scholarships or top universities may need higher scores (up to 7.5 overall, with no band below 7.0).

- Scholarships: Fewer scholarships exist for double master's, but options like Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters do cover tuition, living, and travel. Scholarship applications usually need transcripts, IELTS proof, a statement of purpose, and references. Requirements and deadlines vary by program.
