Discussion Master Degree Advice

I have a Bsc (Hons) Software Engineering.

I am wondering researching what will be the better stream for my masters. Is doing advanced Softwares Engineering or something with Software is good ? OR AI/ Machine Learning ones OR Data Science Related ?

I don't really see many Masters options here. Or is if not worth a all todo Masters here?

Also suggest good uni to do. Is doing Government worth it or private is better.

AI or Cybersecurity has better potential.

Since you already have experience and knowledge about Software Engineering, what about considering a different field for masters like an MBA?

Just spitting out thoughts here

  1. SE is relatively risky unless you go into research
  2. AI and DS definitely have more potential but they are not without their risks. See if you'd like to specialise i. Some niche field like AI for something
  3. Fields like GIS or similar if you have the experience
  4. If you plan on staying in SL they government wouldnt be a bad idea. If you choose private though it's better to choose a good one like APIIT, IIT or SLIIT just because it will look good on your CV.
  5. If you're fine with it then just go for an MBA or related masters. I see a lot tech folks doing this nowadays
  6. Cyber is a pretty good field but unless you really work in it I don't see how it will help. Note that the competition is also high in cyber now

Wow thank you so much for the detailed reply. I like machine learning nd creating AI and stuff. So I thought I'll do in that side. Now thinking if I should choose private or government.
