Graduate School Abroad

By Austin, Peer Mentor

Have you ever thought of going to graduate school to get a Master’s degree? Have you thought about acquiring your Master’s degree in another country? Do you want to do that but have no idea how to start? Then this is the article for you. I have interviewed two people, one a current student who has applied to a few programs abroad and one who has already gotten their Master’s degree while abroad. I asked each of them the same questions.

What colleges did you apply for or go to?

Current student: University College of London (UCL), University of Birmingham and University of British Columbia Vancouver (UBC).

Former student: University of Nottingham

What are/were your living expenses?

CS: $800-900 monthly for rent in an apartment

FS: $7101.28 for a year
