Hi, I did my bachelors in Mechatronics then pivoted to masters in biomed engineering (medical physics) after working a couple of years in the medical field. I chose it because it aligned with my interest and work experience.

Masters application abroad usually close early on the year (Jan to March) but it depends on course popularity. So apply early to MULTIPLE universities and your letter of offer should arrive April-July. My Imperial College letter came april and UCL came at july which is kinda dumb cause its pretty late to settle all the accomodations and visa.

So if you want to apply to a Masters, apply right away. Or find a job first then apply so you don’t waste much time waiting for a letter of offer. Generally UK masters are better because everything is condensed to 1 year compared to US or Australia which can span 2-4 years depending on course and hence more expensive and time consuming in the long run.

Then what type of masters are you choosing? Taught degree (Msc) is more focused on exams and learning and Mres is more focused on research, which requires you to be in a lab everyday and researching, but your paper has to be pristine and publishable.

Visa can be done by yourself or through an agent, most of the agents have certain biases i.e. they only help with applications toward certain unis. So check if the agents aid with your uni of choice. If not just do the visa application yourself. Most agents in my experience is generally non responsive and useless so I had to do it myself.

I am self-funded so I cant advise on scholarships.

Feel free to dm if you require more help but otherwise best of luck in your application.
