Hi Tarun,
Data scientists are in high demand across all sectors, such as finance, consulting, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, government and education. You can work across a range of areas, including: business intelligence, data assurance, data quality, finance, higher education, marketing, sales etc. The top countries that provide the best education in data science include the USA, Canada, Germany, UK and Australia.

Return on investment - This is the single most important factor that dictates the choice of country and master's degree. Everyone wants a good payoff and great career in the years after they graduate. The USA offers the best bet in terms of this for Data Science degrees. The number of jobs is simply unparalleled in this field. American companies and institutions are at the forefront of innovation in the fields of AI, ML & DS. Naturally, there is a great demand for capable data scientists as a result. While the cost of most MS degrees in America is the highest in the world, the resultant pay scales are unparalleled as well for Data Scientists. Add in the STEM extension that will allow you to work for 3 years on your student visa and you have a safe investment even if the initial amount is high.

CGPA alone is not a deciding factor. With a strong GRE Score you can apply to good ranking universities. As for UK and Ireland, I would probably say UK considering it's 2 years PSW

Tarun Patangia · Answer

Thankyou Tilak for your guidance. I have a low CGPA and that's a worry sign to get into good University. So is Ireland and UK a good option along with USA.

Tarun Patangia · Answer

Hello Sanika thank you for your valuable feedback. I am preparing for Fall 23 batch . I have one concern that UK has recently increased the PSW timeline. What do you thin about the chance that UK will change it's policy back to 6 month PSW.
