The long-term intent after completing studies abroad typically includes building a successful career in your field, gaining international work experience, and potentially settling in the host country or returning home with advanced skills.

For a Master's in Pharmaceutical Sciences in New Zealand, graduates often aim for roles in research, pharmaceutical development, quality control, or policy analysis. Some also pursue leadership or managerial positions in the industry, or consider further academic research.

If you have a specific long-term goal in mind, share it with your LeapScholar counsellor to receive tailored guidance.

It depends on your career goals and personal preferences.

If you want to work in New Zealand after your master's, you may be eligible for a Post Study Work Visa (PSW) for up to three years (subject to change), which lets you gain international work experience and potentially explore long-term opportunities there.

Returning to India with an international master's can also boost your job prospects, especially with employers who value global exposure. However, recognition and salary may vary depending on your field.

Consider your career objectives, lifestyle preferences, and long-term plans before deciding. If you need personalized guidance, your LeapScholar counsellor can help you explore your options.
