বিদেশে পড়তে চাই??? কিসু আইডিয়া - 1. Select the purpose - why to go abroad for study? - for research? PhD? / to get degree? / finally to stay there? immigration?/ to get job after study in BD?/ etc.??? After selecting your purport - then move on ____ 2. Source of FUND - do you hv enough money to study self-finance? / you will go there with some money and then find part-time job and take the challange like many people? [you hv to be extremely hard-working and courageous in this case]/ you will try for Lab/univeristy research fund - through your Professor or University [need good academic and research result in most of the cases, but lets try - do not upset!] ? / you will get FULL scholarship through AUSAID or IPRS in Australia, Monobosho in Japan, ORS or Commonwealth in England, Fullbrigtht sc for few subjects in USA, and so on_____________??? 3. Study area or research area??? Period?? ---- it depends on your interest. Anything is alright - as long as you work hard and learn from the courses, as switching from one area to another is pretty common though I do not recommend to move from Bangla to Info. Tech?!! But keeping track is the best but near-by field to switch is not a problem and it is common to many. Now, course work or research??? -- most of the cases - it depneds on the univ where you will study. Think first - - in USA, Canada - most of the cases - Masters course contains research, - in Japan - masters has some courses to take and then mostly almost 1.5 yrs - it is research - and the course is 2 yrs long. No 1 yr Master course usually. - in Australia - 1yr, 1.5yr, 2 yrs Master course - all are course work mainly, and another 2 yrs Master by research. - in UK - simi to Aus as I know. - in EU - same - varies from palce to place. ------------------------more in future. Hope that these info might be helpful for few of you. BeJust
