Admission and job placement rates for international master's students vary by country and program.
- USA: Average acceptance rate for master's programs is about 45%, but top universities can be as low as 8%. Around 85% of master's graduates secure full-time jobs within six months.
- UK: Acceptance rates for international postgraduates are typically 40 - 70% at major universities. About 87% of graduates are in work or further study, with 57% in full-time jobs.
Outcomes depend on your field, work experience, and the job market. With your strong academic record and experience in Computer Science, you are well-positioned for both admission and employment in the USA or UK.
