About the Course
Students often feel that studying Science abroad as a major is not an option. However, from biology and chemistry to ecology and neuroscience, universities offer a wide range of courses in the sciences. Students can engage in rigorous academic coursework, and they will also engage with international faculty and students, expanding their global competency and cross-cultural skills. In today’s world, science students need international experience as field research, laboratories, and job opportunities are global. When you study sciences you’ll have the incredible opportunity to take your learning outside of the classroom and experience it within your host culture.
A Master of Science degree is based on research and scientific learning. For an MS degree, a bachelor's degree in a related field is always a prerequisite at almost all educational institutions offering master’s courses across the world. Master of Science degrees can be earned in physics, biology, chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, aviation, environmental studies and space studies. Most graduates, following a Master of Science degree, often prefer to go on to pursue a doctoral or a PhD program. Master's in most countries tend to combine an extension of undergraduate studies and advanced preparation for research. Therefore, students intending to pursue a doctorate often use the master's program to begin a research focus, wherein the majority of the program consists of independent studies, workshops and seminars. Some of the top universities abroad also offer undergraduate programs leading to master's degrees, often known as Integrated M.Sc. / B.S. + M.S. degrees.

Careers
The eligibility for a Science course is dependent on the country and institution. Most Science courses abroad require English Language Test scores such as IELTS, TOEFL or PTE. Students can study different science as a BSc over a minimum of three years. Most programs will have an integrated sandwich year between the second and final years of study so that students can gain hands-on industry experience. Therefore, bachelor’s degrees lasting four years are common. Studying science in combination with a related subject, like mathematics, statistics, computer science, finance, or economics, is also popular. These joint-honors courses are a useful way of tailoring your degree to reflect your interests and strengths.
While the USA and Canada are the favourite study-abroad destinations for Science graduates, most countries have universities that specialise in the particular subject. It is hence advised to speak to your counselor to ensure that you get the best university to pursue your interest.
Students who pass out with a degree in science can either pursue a masters and go on to do a PhD or work in companies where they can research and help humanity.
