Hi, I’m Eishanth, studying BTech in Computer Science with Data Science at VIT, Vellore. Can you provide essential details about studying abroad in my field?
Asked by Eishanth P over 2 years ago
Hi Eishanth. It’s good that you are looking for study details abroad right now before the end of your bachelors. Many students get started on this later after their undergrad and in many cases they have to wait for a whole year or just to get into any university. If you are well informed now, you will easily be getting into your dream school later after your bachelors.
The first thing you need to know is where to study abroad. See, there are a lot of good countries that you can choose here. The top names in this game are USA, UK, Canada and Australia. Each country is good for some reasons. Like the USA has the best science and engineering course, the UK offers a one-year long master degree, Canada is a bit more affordable with high ROI while Australia a the cheapest option here with a lot of employment.
These are just one of the things that make a specific place better for studying abroad. You will need to know a lot more here. Since you are a BTech student, I want to recommend you accordingly. For master courses after BTech, your best options are going to be either the USA or the UK. Both of these countries are filled with top-tier technical master programs. You will have a wide range of selections to choose from.
The typical average salary of a computer science graduate in the USA is above 85 lakhs annually. By targeting the right universities, you can get big packages in the CS field. In the UK, the average CS graduate salary is around 40-50 lakhs annually. With time and experience this figure can go above 80 or even 90 lakhs.
Since you are doing a BTech in computer science, I would only recommend going for a MS degree in computer science (MSCS degree). It is most suited and complements your background best.

Hi Eishanth!
As you’re considering studying abroad for your Master's, here are several key points to guide your planning:
- Selection of Country and Program: Start by identifying countries known for excellence in Computer Science and Data Science, such as the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. Consider the academic reputation of universities, the technologies and facilities provided, and the research opportunities available.
- Admission Requirements: Admission to top programs typically requires a strong academic record, GRE scores, language proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS), and compelling letters of recommendation and personal statements. Your application should reflect both your past achievements and your future potential.
- Financial Planning: Understanding the financial aspect is crucial. This includes tuition and living expenses. Explore scholarships, such as Fulbright, Chevening, or DAAD, which could significantly reduce your financial burden.
- Visa Process: Familiarize yourself with the visa requirements for your chosen country. This usually involves proving your financial independence, intention of study, and plans after graduation.
- Career Prospects: Consider how studying abroad will impact your career. Many countries offer post-study work rights that can allow you to gain international work experience.
