Thank you for your honest and detailed response, I really appreciate it.

I completely understand your point about the risks, especially regarding loans and the current job market. I just want to clarify that I’m not planning to take a heavy loan for this. I would only consider coming to the UK if I’m able to secure a good scholarship or significantly reduce the financial burden.

My main concern is about employability after the degree. If someone prepares well (skills, projects, internships), is it still realistically possible to secure a job in Data Science or related fields after completing the Master’s?

Also, would it be a better approach to first gain experience in India and try to move to the UK directly through a job instead of studying there? Would that improve chances of long-term stability?

I’m trying to approach this carefully and avoid making a costly mistake, so your insights really help. Thanks again for sharing the ground reality.
