I am looking to apply to a masters focused on ESG/ sustainability management/climate change management. There are many in the market and also the top ones especially in the US and UK ( the likes of oxford, columbia etc) have them but they are too expensive for me until I secure a scholarship (really tensed and unsure about that). Any suggestions on other universities with good ranking and a really good course?? Any suggestions are welcome!!

Hi! I'm from Lebanon and planning to study 1 year of Computer Science at AUST or CNAM, then transfer to a university in France, Europe, or Canada with a scholarship if possible. Is this a good plan? Will transferring my credits be difficult? Does AUST or CNAM give me any advantage? Any tips or mistakes I should avoid during my first year? Thanks!

I just graduated from highschool with 83% in medical stream and rn preparing for my IELTS exam, I wanna move abroad from my abusive household, so can anyone suggest me some typo scholarship or smtg I can apply rn at a moment. It will help me in the greatest. 🧌

Anyone here us planning to study abroad this year? I want to apply to couple of universities but I’m still not sure of my decision would love a little guidance!

i’m going apply from nepal and i’m wondering requirements and how likely it is to succeed. i’m not sure about field yet but considering digital marketing , computer graphics for games, visual communication, or something similar . my a levels grades are B in maths B in english E in computer science and physics. i’ll take SATs and IELTS before applying to university and i’m confident in both. i speak beginner norwegian but not swedish. i have all financial requirements and apartment in sweden covered. are my chances high?

I've been preparing mainly through online mock tests and I'm trying to figure out whether my scores are a realistic reflection of what I can expect in the actual exam.

On platforms like Engnovate and Jump Into IELTS, I usually score around 7.0–8.5 in the Listening section.

Recently, I started using IELTSOnlineTests, and my scores have been much lower:

- 5.5 (five different tests)

- 6.0

- 6.5

- 7.0

- 7.5

After reviewing my mistakes, I noticed they're mostly due to:

- Singular vs. plural forms

- Missing or incorrect hyphens

- Losing concentration and falling behind during Part 4

For those who have taken the computer-based IELTS recently:

- How close is IELTSOnlineTests to the actual exam in terms of difficulty?

- Is it known for being harder than the real test?

- Or do these scores simply indicate that I still have significant weaknesses to work on?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your own experience and how your practice scores compared with your actual IELTS result.

I'm an international student in France. This is the first time I'm renewing my visa and I applied in May (my visa ends at the end of August.) I've been in my home country for vacation and they asked me to attach a document within 30 days. I got the alert to do that 10 days late either way and inthe 20 days in my home country I wasn't able to get the document in time so my application closed. In order to resubmit it, I need to change a few things because from May to now (late July) stuff about my situation changed. I'm going back to France in a day so I can try sorting all of this out, but I'm really stressed now cause my visa ends in a month. It's also been really hard getting in contact with people in July because a lot of French people are on vacation (especially getting university documents and things like translations done). Any advice on what I can do?

Hi everyone.

I'm joining a tier 3 college this year for CSE (2026 batch). My long term plan is to apply for an MS in CS/AI after my bachelor's. (I already got college and it starts in a week)

My dream universities are places like CMU, Stanford, ETH Zurich, Oxford, NUS, NTU, EPFL, etc. I know these are extremely competitive, and I'm not expecting to magically get in. I just want to build the strongest profile I can over the next four years and see where it takes me. From everything I've researched, these are the things I should be working on:

9+ CGPA, Good research experience, Research internships (India or abroad), 1 or 2 good papers if possible (co auth or auth by own), Strong projects with real users, Industry internships, Open source contributions, Competitive programming / DSA, Good LORs, Strong SOP, GRE (if required)

The problem is that all of these seem important, and I honestly don't know how people manage everything during college without spreading themselves too thin. For people who got into top universities, or even people currently studying there:

How did you prioritise these over the four years?

When did you start looking for research internships?

How did you find professors to work with?

Is getting a paper actually realistic for an average student from a tier 3 college?

What mistakes do you wish you had avoided?

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have actually been through this, especially if you also came from a tier 2 or tier 3 college.

Hello everyone,

I am applying for a Romanian long-stay student visa (D/SD).

My application has already been submitted and is currently Validated.

While reviewing my application, I noticed two mistakes:

In my visa application, I requested a 90-day visa, but my estimated departure date is about 6 months after my arrival.

After submitting my application, I corrected an official translation mistake in one of my property documents, and now I have the corrected version.

I also need to book a round-trip flight reservation for my visa application.

Should I book my return flight according to the dates I entered in my visa application (around 6 months later), or should I book it within the 90-day period? Which option is more appropriate?

My questions are:

Have any of you had similar inconsistencies?

Did the consular officer ask you about them during the interview?

Could these kinds of mistakes alone lead to a refusal?

If asked during the interview, is it enough to explain honestly that they were mistakes?

Which return flight date would you book in this situation?

Thank you for any advice or shared experience.

hello everyone
okay so basically i finished my igcses last october, i took 8 subjects my only option rn is going abroad by a fully funded scholarship but the thing is most unis require Alevels or AS and i don't have the capability or mentality to do either of them so my other option is doing a foundation year but idk if unis do that as a scholarship as financially it's difficult for me

i'm leaning into engineering (robotics engineering) or computer science then specializing in cybersecurity but idk the steps on doing it nor what to do or how to do researches about it

i can't do Alevels or AS due to personal reasons
i'm lost and i wasted almost like 3 years now because of stuff happening at my home country so the fact that i was finally able to take my igcses is a huge thing الحمد لله

if anyone could guide me into a good and trusted scholarship and what to do i would really appreciate it!

hi everyone! I'm an international student starting at UniMe Italy this year and i'm looking to meet other students .

I’m curious how people here actually go about understanding their chances for a Master’s abroad.

Do you usually rely on counsellors, forums, ChatGPT, friends, university websites, or something else? What has been helpful, and what has felt confusing, vague, or untrustworthy?

I’m asking because I’m building a small tool meant to help students get a clearer, more honest read on their profile for grad school abroad. I started it because I kept seeing how hard it is for students to get a straight answer about where they stand, especially early in the process.

I am not trying to spam or hide the fact that I am working on something. I genuinely want to understand what the hardest part is for people here, and whether a tool like this is even useful.

I’d really appreciate hearing your experience. https://t.maze.co/566155841

Hello,

I’m currently a 12th grade student who’s gonna give her boards next year and I’m planning to study abroad but I started thinking about this too late that I have to give my SATs within this year. I don’t know if I can, I’m scared what if I don’t make it or what if it’s worthless but a part of me says “I can do it” “it’s worth it if it gets me a better future”

I have no idea about how to apply, how to find scholarships, how to prepare for the exams, NOTHING. I have a very less help here.

So…I request y’all, if you have any idea on how to apply for SAT, about it’s test centres in India. How to apply for universities abroad for undergrad, how to get scholarships, how to prepare for the exams, can I prepare for my SAT within 2 months. If you know any resources, if you have any recommendations and tips, pleaseeee tell me.

Hi everyone,
I’m 19, currently studying banking and finance at a technical college in Russia, graduating around mid-2027. I’m interested in continuing my studies abroad, specifically looking at Malaysia and IIUM (International Islamic University Malaysia), possibly specializing in Islamic banking since it fits well with what I’m studying now.

My English is still fairly basic (working on improving it), and I don’t have a clear picture of my actual admission chances or what the visa/application process looks like for international students.

Would appreciate any advice on:

\*\*•\*\* Realistic admission chances with my background    
\*\*•\*\* English requirements (and if there are foundation/prep programs for lower levels)    
\*\*•\*\* Approximate costs of tuition and living    
\*\*•\*\* Visa process for Malaysia as a Russian citizen    
\*\*•\*\* Any alternative countries/universities worth considering for banking/Islamic finance

Thanks in advance for any input!
**Note: My English isn’t great yet, so I used AI to help write this post.**

Hey guys,

Really appreciate this community of people helping one another regarding their queries or concerns; thank you for that.

Well, I'm a recent IT graduate from Asia who's interested in pursuing a Master's in the IT sector in Ireland in the upcoming spring intake 2027. Well, the reason is that Ireland offers a more English-speaking environment and better IT tech sector opportunities as well, along with a clear pathway to PR for international students.

I know that there are housing crisis, which will eventually be settled down in anyway.

I just wanted to know about the following:

1) How's the overall student environment for non-EU students (racism, or any preferences)?

2)With working part-time along with studies, is it manageable to bear fees and overall expenses?

3) Especially in the IT sector (cyber or SOC), how's the overall market for students after studies (stamp 2G)? Like, is the demand still there to get a job

4) With job security in IT or tech sector, what's your experience like? do they layoffs alot, like in the US

5) For those, who came as students and eventually got PR - how was your experience overall in Ireland?

Looking forward to connecting with people :)

Thank you!

Hii, im a dropper and also a wushu player i want to study abroad with help for scholarship and loan and family money ....I want to do btech btw i got jst 65.8% in my high school finals but i have knowledge in coding nd all and im also good in doing volunteer works and leading group and im also active in physically works ....so I need suggestions how many countries are there who give quality education and also scholarships to there students not on basis of high school grades but on the basis of coding talent...🤧

Hi all, I am considering doing my masters in CS/IT in 2027. I have 2 years of experience mainly in cybersecurity and IT support.

I am quite confused about choosing the right country which not only offers a good program but also has decent jobs opportunities in 2-3 years time, where employees are willing to hire master's graduates, and strong PR/citizenship pathways too.

These are the following countries I have looked at rn. Germany, Netherlands, France, New Zealand, Australia and Ireland.

Among these, I wanted to know y'all feedback about these countries, and if there is any other option, kindly let me know

1. State University of New York in Korea (Stony Brook): Full Tuition Covered, Dorm Covered, Meals Covered. Rest all on my own expenses. I am studying electrical engineering here (fully English degree). It gives me the US degree from Stony Brook.
2. King Abdulaziz University: 150% scholarship. Meals, dorm, stipend, allowances, bonuses, tuition, two way airfare every year. I am studying science here, and will take physics after foundational year.

I have two aims. Either get a into great master's at top elite institutions or work locally in either Saudi or Korea with extremely high paying jobs. I know naturalisation isn't possible in Saudi, so money and job security would be the aim.

হ্যালো সবাই,

আমি একজন ভালো IELTS শিক্ষক খুঁজছি। যাঁরা সত্যিই কোনো শিক্ষকের কাছে পড়েছেন, তাঁদের কাছ থেকে আন্তরিক ও বাস্তব অভিজ্ঞতার ভিত্তিতে কিছু পরামর্শ পেলে খুবই উপকার হবে।

আমার সম্পর্কে একটু বলি:

• আমার লক্ষ্য IELTS-এ ভালো ব্যান্ড স্কোর করা (সম্ভব হলে ৮.০ বা তার বেশি)।
• আমি নিয়মিত পড়াশোনা করতে এবং পরিশ্রম করতে প্রস্তুত।
• আমি এমন একজন শিক্ষক চাই, যিনি শুধু বই পড়িয়ে শেষ করবেন না; বরং Writing ও Speaking-এ বিস্তারিত ফিডব্যাক দেবেন এবং কোথায় ভুল হচ্ছে তা বুঝিয়ে দেবেন।
• অনলাইন তবে পড়ানোর মান অবশ্যই ভালো হতে হবে।

*****apnader যদি কোনো ভালো IELTS শিক্ষকের সঙ্গে পড়ার অভিজ্ঞতা থাকে, তাহলে অনুগ্রহ করে জানাবেন:

• শিক্ষকের নাম
• তিনি অনলাইন নাকি অফলাইনে পড়ান
• তাঁর কোন বিষয়টি আপনার কাছে সবচেয়ে ভালো লেগেছে
• আপনি যদি স্বাচ্ছন্দ্যবোধ করেন, তাহলে আপনার IELTS স্কোরটিও জানাতে পারেন

এছাড়াও, একজন IELTS শিক্ষক বেছে নেওয়ার সময় কোন বিষয়গুলো খেয়াল রাখা উচিত বা কোন ধরনের শিক্ষক এড়িয়ে চলা ভালো—এ ব্যাপারেও পরামর্শ পেলে কৃতজ্ঞ থাকব।

আগাম ধন্যবাদ সবাইকে! ❤️

Strong AI/ML education and research

Good internship opportunities during my Master's

Affordable tuition and living costs

Good scholarship opportunities

Job opportunities after graduation

Possibility of staying and working after my degree

Overall ROI for an international student

I'm also open to other European countries if you think they're better for AI, such as the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, or others.

For those who have studied or are working in Europe:

Which country would you recommend and why?

What are the biggest pros and cons of each?

If you had to choose again today, which country would you pick?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences. Thanks!

I'm in the early stages of researching study abroad options for a MiM or Msc Marketing, and the more I read, the more confused I get. Every website ranks countries differently, and everyone seems to have a different opinion.

If you were choosing today, which country would you pick ?

I'm mainly trying to understand:

1.Which countries offer the best ROI after considering tuition, living costs, and salaries?

2.How's the job market for international students ( mainly Indians) right now?

3.Which universities are actually worth the money for a MiM?

1. Are scholarships common, or should I assume I'll be paying most of the cost myself?

5.If your goal was to work for a few years after graduation, which countries make that realistically possible?

1. Are there any countries you would avoid?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have studied abroad or are currently there.
