Pick a side: one-year UK master's or two-year US master's?

While in 2026, both sides just got weaker. What are your thoughts on this?


Some of you swear by the one-year UK route. Others say only the two-year US degree is "real." So let's actually fight about it.


Team UK says: Cheaper. Faster. You're earning a full year sooner while the US crowd is still paying rent. 



Team US says: That summer internship (CPT) is what actually gets you hired. One-year programs don't have one.
