Germany is the best overall choice for a master's if you want low tuition fees and strong job prospects, especially in STEM fields.

- Germany: Public universities usually charge little or no tuition, with only a small semester fee. You get an 18-month post-study job seeker visa to find work. - Ireland: Higher tuition fees, but a strong tech/pharma job market and a 2-year post-study work visa (Graduate Route). - UAE: Moderate tuition, growing job market, but shorter post-study options (60-120 day Job Seeker Visa). Longer stays depend on employer sponsorship or special visas.

If affordability and stay-back are key, Germany leads. Ireland offers a longer post-study visa but at a higher cost. UAE is best for immediate job access but has limited automatic stay-back.
