Start with what you want to study
Students who pick a country first often end up on a course that does not suit them. Work in the other order: subject, then destination, then university. This page covers the study levels available and who each one is for.
Study levels
Six routes, depending on where you are now
How to decide
Three questions, in this order
Answer them out of order and you will end up rewriting your shortlist twice.
What do I want to study?
Start from the subjects you performed well in and the work you want to be doing in five years. If those two point in different directions, that is the first conversation to have.
Where is it taught well?
Some fields are strongly associated with particular countries — engineering in Germany and Sweden, nursing in Australia, one-year business master’s in the UK. Reputation at department level matters more than the university’s overall ranking.
Which university will accept me?
Now the shortlist gets practical: entry requirements against your actual grades, total cost against your actual budget, and intake dates against when you can realistically be ready.
