We went through the refusal letter with him. It had one cause: the funds were 5 days short of the 28-day rule.

Study data science abroad
Study data science abroad from Nepal, if you like maths and code.
Data science suits graduates who enjoy statistics and programming. 79.4% of our data science graduates surveyed were working in data roles within 6 months (27 of 34). Most studied a one-year MSc in the UK, or a master’s in Australia or Europe.

BeforeParents worried about the distance
MSc Data Science in Gothenburg, parents in the loop
His parents came to the second meeting, and got the same written plan he did.

BeforeAn Indian bachelor’s and no idea it needed APS
MSc in Berlin, with APS India done in time
Her degree is Indian, so APS India applies to her even though she is Nepali. Nationality doesn't decide it; the degree does.

Country by country
The best countries for data science, compared.
Data science is taught almost everywhere now. Start from the job you want, then find the country where this degree actually leads to it, and what it takes to get in.
| Country | Courses | Why |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | MSc Data Science, MSc Business Analytics | One year, then the Graduate visa |
| Australia | Master of Data Science, Master of Business Analytics | Strong job market, 2 years after on the 485 visa |
| Sweden | MSc Data Science and machine learning programmes | Strong universities; plan for the 15-hour work limit |
| Germany | MSc Data Science at public universities | No tuition at most public universities |
Entry requirements
Marks, tests and papers to have ready.
- A bachelor’s with maths or statistics: CSIT, BIT, engineering, BSc, some BBA with statistics
- IELTS 6.5 for most master’s on our shortlists
- Programming (Python or R) helps your application and your first semester
Diploma, bachelor or master
Pick the level that matches your marks.
- MSc Data Science after a bachelor's with maths, statistics or computing.
- MSc Business Analytics if your maths is lighter: more business, less programming.
- Data engineering for students who prefer building pipelines to building models.
Registration and language
The licence that comes after the degree.
Data roles don't need a licence. Employers look for Python, SQL, statistics and a portfolio of real projects.
In Germany and the Nordic countries, the local language matters less in data teams than elsewhere, but still helps.
After study
Jobs, honestly.
- Data analyst
- Data scientist
- Business intelligence analyst
- Machine learning engineer (with experience)
Data science is maths-heavy. If statistics was your weakest subject, a business analytics master’s may suit you better.

How we help
What we do on your data science file.
We check your bachelor's maths against each programme's requirement before you apply, so you don't pay application fees for courses that will reject you.
We shortlist both data science and analytics, so you choose on fit.
An honest note
Choose a different field if
- You want to avoid programming
- Your bachelor’s had no maths or statistics at all
- You need to start in less than 3 months: a good course choice takes planning.
FAQ
What students ask about data science abroad.
Can I study data science without a computer science degree?
Often yes, if your bachelor’s included maths or statistics. Business analytics programmes accept a wider range of graduates.
Is data science better in the UK or Australia?
The UK is faster (one year). Australia gives more time to work during and after study. Your written plan compares both in rupees.
How many data science graduates find jobs?
Of our graduates surveyed, 79.4% were working in data roles within 6 months.
What is the cost of a data science master’s in the UK?
Tuition was £15,500 to £26,000 on our UK shortlists; year 1 in total costs about Rs 62.7 to Rs 84 lakh.
