Which visa option would be better for me, student visa or opportunity visa in UK/New Zealand for a Master's?

A student visa is the better option for you if your primary goal is to pursue a master's degree abroad. This visa allows you to enroll in your chosen program, legally reside in the country during your studies, and often permits part-time work.

After graduation, each country you are interested in offers specific post-study work visas (such as the PSW in the UK and New Zealand, or the Job Search Visa in Germany) that let you gain work experience and may lead to longer-term opportunities.

If your main focus is higher education, start with a student visa. For guidance on post-study work pathways, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
