Why I Got My Master's in London 🎓🇬🇧

[@theamethyst93]

For me I like the fact that the programs are typically shorter and also cheaper. Plus you get to live overseas. What more could you ask for?

Good night I'm not feeling well today 😂

[@laprincessa7556]

Debating on whether on not to get my Masters in Spain and I'm so glad I came across your video. We have pretty much the exact same reasons for studying abroad. For me the cost is especially important. The cost of a Masters degree in America is disheartening and one of the main reasons I'm hesitant to get my degree. I've also been wanting to move abroad meet new people and immerse myself in other cultures. Now my main concern is getting older and settling down. I'm turning 30 and my biological clock is ticking, but if I want to settle down in the future it would be difficult to have a family and take on the amount of debt it takes to get a Masters degree here in the states. I don't think I'd be able to study abroad with a family although I'm sure it's possible. It's just one of those things I want to take on without the added baggage. A lot to think about - Thanks so much for uploading this!

I also did my MiM in London, but at LSE. London is such an amazing city that you can always have things to explore. The exposure is different compared to living in other cities in the UK.

@@lozr666 Hi there. I was 22 (thus took me 5 years to graduate instead of normal 4). Ask a lot before you decide to go (no matter how insignificant they seem) and ask who you are going to stay with while living there. If the agency gives you vague answer to your question that is a red flag to watch out.

Hi Kristina! I have a similar experience as you have. I am from China and I went to UC Berkeley for summer school when I was in my sophomore year in college.

I absolutely love having different life experience and enjoy building connections with people from diverse background. Thanks for making inspiring videos as always.

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm in the exact same position. I love london, and relocated there for 2 months last year (I'm self-employed so I could work remotely) and I've been considering doing a masters in england on and off for 8 years. Seems like a student visa is way easier than finding a brit to marry me, which seems the only other way to get employed. I studied abroad in germany in 2012 as part of undergrad for the life experience mostly (and my uni paid entirely for me to live their because of my financial aid), but now it's a mix of wanting the degree (at 1/2-1/5th the price of getting it in the US) and to live in London. I could do a masters in germany for free, but it's twice as long. Anyway, thanks a bunch. I'm saving cash like bananas right now and I think I would be able to move there by 2021 and pay for it in cash. This was such a helpful video!

[@eltayebelbakri5708]

Hey love your videos! beautiful content keep it up :) I'am a 20 years old Sudanese born and raised in Qatar and currently studying in BA Mass Comm and majoring in PR at Malaysia. I think what made me decide to study abroad is really getting out of my comfort zone to fully evolve I have always been sheltered and from a small town so I've always had the urge to live independently without relying on my parents. I guess as well for the fact that I'm a third culture kid so being around different cultures is the norm for me. Once again love your content.

Kchoi, Thaks for the video. I got my MBA outside of the United States...kind of. At the time I was in the Air Force, stationed in Japan, but going to the University of Maryland's MBA program. That school has a partnership with the DoD to set up campuses in different nations with DoD activities. There were students and faculty from a lot of countries. My MBA class had students from Isreal, Japan, Korea, United States, Germany, and Norway. Some were military members and their spouses, some were international professionals in Japan that wanted to complete an American MBA program. I am out of the Air Force now but still living in Japan, so I actually will run into them sometimes or meet up occasionally.

[@peachyj6887]

Love your videos, they’re very informative! I was wondering though for european grad school programs specifically, did you need work experience before applying that was related to the degree you were going to study in? I’m American and I also want to study abroad in Europe but many grad school programs require my undergrad or work experience to be the same field of study that I’m applying for, so I’m having trouble deciding if I should apply or if I can get in any programs.

[@bykchoi]

For my program in particular, you could have 0 years of work experience (straight from undergrad) or a few years (there were even a few people who had 5+ years of experience). We also had two “routes,” one for people who studied business in undergrad and one for people who didn’t (the required/elective course options were a little different). Most program descriptions should specify if work experience or previous study in the field is required or not!

hi, so just wanted to clarify that you got your masters in the UK and then returned to work in the states? if so, did you have any difficulties in your international masters degree transferring over to your prospects in the states? a lot of information i see tends to be for those who want to remain abroad and pursue work opportunities there. i am considering getting my masters in psychology abroad, but my plan would be to return to the states to pursue a PhD. the main reason i want to go abroad for my masters is to save costs & fulfill my dream of living abroad. thank you for this video btw! ☺️

yes i returned to work in the states! i had to send my transcripts to my employer as part of background checks when getting onboarded. when it comes to getting a master's abroad and then a PhD in the states, i'm not sure - i would look into the PhD program requirements or ask a counselor to be sure. good luck!!

Hey K! I'm thinking about getting a BA or the equivalent thereof abroad, specifically in France because i'll be working out there for a while and i figured i'd kill two birds with one stone.

They’re really two different things because a study abroad program through a US school would likely only be for a semester or a year! So it’s different than getting your entire degree abroad. So many factors to consider like cost, job options, etc.!

I congratulate you for receiving your Master's degree in London. Are you planning to do a PhD or are you done studying? I live in Ottawa, Canada and I did my MA in Classical Studies through Distance Learning at the Open University for two years from 2015 to 2017. I went to the Open University because it was the only university which excepted all students and they did not ask for too much to enter in such as letter of recommendations from your professors, a letter of intent, a resume, and a piece of work which you done. Furthermore you do not need a high mark to pass your Master's degree in Classical Studies at the Open University. You can get as low as 40% which is considered a pass there. It costed over 2,000 euros for my MA in Classical Studies Part 1 and over 5,000 euros for my MA in Classical Studies Part 2 which costed over $11,000 in Canadian money. I did the MA in Classical Studies just for general interest. I was still living in Ottawa, Canada. I was doing my degree through Distance Learning on my laptop.
