Australia

Hi Ram,
It is very difficult for someone to pinpoint on particular universities which can accept your profile. It will be a challenging in Canada since they need more percentage and for MS admissions are very competitive. You can try in Concordia, Simon Fraser, etc. but there is no guarantee. You will have better chance in Australia from top ranked to mediocre ones. You should retake your IELTS more than 6.5 is generally required by universities for PG courses.

Applicants must have a Bachelor of Social Work or equivalent qualification recognized by the Australian Association of Social Workers and have been in full-time employment (or equivalent) in social work for at least one year. Students who successfully complete the Graduate in Human and Community Services (GradCertH&CS) are eligible to apply for credit towards either level of the MSW programme.

US is not the best option currently, but Australia job market is also competitive. However, they will allow you to apply for work permit, and you can look for job. It is more flexible than current USA.

Jessica, first you have to decide your course. What you want to study is your choice.
Decide which area of architecture you like, what kind of job you want. Check related careers and compare.
For the country choice, you can compare the admission requirements, match it with your profile, check fees and budget, and pick the country accordingly.

IELTS is a must for studying in Australia and Canada.

Dear Aman, Could you please tell me as to what course you intend to apply for so that I can be more specific, otherwise the GPA required for any PG in most Universities is a minimum of an equivalent of 65% to 70%. Hope this answers your query, if not please let me know as to the course you are looking at and I can give a more specific answer. The IELTS score required is around 6.5 tp 6 bands overall with no band less than 6. All the best.

For management courses abroad, you should have a strong financial background. You will have to apply to a private university. The fee and accommodation will be quite high.

Hi,
Mechanical engineers are included in the job shortage list, so of you pursue youth Masters from a good university with good grades you will have a chance, Australia is very competitive and you being and international student must work extra hard, network with people, build your profile, get into a good internship position etc. for job opportunities.

Grades are very important in a foreign university. Even if u get admission, the scholarship is tough.
If you can afford to pay fees, apply to a bottom-ranked university.

The budget may vary from one university to the other depending on the requirements.
