You have several strong options for a master's in computer science outside the UK, especially with your work experience:

- Germany: Low or no tuition fees at many public universities, strong tech sector, and you can stay up to 18 months post-graduation on a job seeker visa.
- Canada: High-quality education, welcoming for international students, and a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) lets you work up to 3 years after your degree.
- Australia: Practical, industry-focused programs, and post-study work visas allow 2 - 4 years of stay, depending on your qualification.
- United States: Top-ranked universities and tech hubs, with up to 3 years of work under Optional Practical Training (OPT) for STEM graduates.
- Netherlands: English-taught programs, growing tech industry, and a 1-year Orientation Year permit for job seeking after graduation.
- Ireland: Strong tech sector, post-study work visas for up to 2 years, and multinational company presence.
- Singapore: Tech-driven economy, top universities, and post-study work permits for up to 3 years.

Your work experience will strengthen your applications in these countries.
