Is an overseas graduate degree as good as one from the US?

It depends on the reputation of the institution. Some foreign universities are well respected. A degree from Cambridge University, for example, would be very well regarded. On the other hand, there are a lot of fly-by-night insitutitons that are basically diploma mills. A lot of medical schools in the Caribbean and Central America are jokes. \n\nThe most important thing to check is whether the insitution is accredited according to a valid agency recognized in the US.

Like the others said, it depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking to specialise in your undergraduate career, then you should choose a British University because American Universities tend to specialise later in the course and never gain quite as much detail. For postgraduate work, they're all much of a muchness (although American PhDs take MUCH longer, but funding's generally better) and you should go where the best scholars for your field are.  Hope this helps!

I doubt very much that you'll be able to find an overseas country to provide a loan for your UG studies. Loans are generally only permitted for local students. If your country has a very good relationship with another country this may be possible.\nNormally such a thing only occurs on the postgrad level as by that stage you might have enough academic standing for it to be worthwhile for a country to do that.\nIf however you get citizenship in the overseas country then there are many options open to you.

If u want to really study abroad, then y d online course?\nOfcourse its not really worth. \nDistance learning is useful only if its for ur knowledge upgradation. It doesnt fetch a good job. For that purpose take a TOEFL, IELTS, some GRE/GMAT for some masters / specializations!\nGood Luck!

Studying abroad is always a good thing, it gives you a wider background, apart from looking excellent on your resume.  I would say USA for chemical engineering, see the link below for the best USA Universities.\n\nI would definitely add, to be aware that since the 9/11 aftermath, there have been more background investigations on Student Visa--just be prepared to showcase your entire history when applying for a STUDENT VISA to the USA.\n\nGood Luck and Prosper...;*!*;...

If you can do it, the best options for you will be to get a Masters and/or PhD from a university in a country where the native language is English. In that way, you'll be truly fluent when you leave, and also have gained an in-depth understanding of the cultures that helped form the language. So, I'd look at schools in the US, in England, in Canada, and potentially even in Australia. \n\nA good resource that you can start with is the Peterson's Guide. I've provided a link, below. Click on the topic "grad school", and you'll be able to learn what qualifications and exams you'll need in order to be able to enter a graduate level program in the USA.

Thunderbird in Arizona has the best reputation for international business, but it is a very unique and specialized program and may not be ideal for everybody.  Harvard obviously has the best NAME for it, and is among the strongest, and a degree from there would certainly serve you well, but is very difficult to get into.  The same can be said for Wharton at Pennsylvania.  Perhaps South Carolina would be the best place for regular students to go.\n\nBest of luck to you.

The first question is, what country do you want to go for your graduate? Your own or a foreign country? If you are "remarkably intelligent," you should be able to figure that out. Usually, people go for "rich, developed countries" like US and UK. After that, find universities that give out financial aid for international students and have your majors or whatever it is you want to study, then try to meet their standards for a foreign student (again, you are intelligent, right?). Aim high, usually private and/or pricier schools have scholarships. When they accept and look at your income, which is low, I guess, they often will give you some kind of financial aid, such as scholarships, loan, in-campus jobs...\n\nGood luck,\n\nA foreign student currently studies in the US

The UK might be a good option since it's closer to India (if you still have your family and relatives there), but you could also consider Canada and the USA. It really depends on your interests, personality and your budget. Canada could be less expensive than the other two options, and also offers better employment opportunities after graduation - if that's your goal. The UK offers a very interesting environment, however in most situations studying in the UK could be more expensive than studying in the USA. The USA offers a lot of opportunities for research and state-of-the-art technology.

I disagree with the person who said the UK. It's the USA. MBAs from schools in the US - especially the top 25 MBA programs - hold huge cache outside the US. \n\nIn fact, working with some international MBA students, they've told me that it doesn't matter WHERE in the US you get your MBA, but that it is from a school in the US. I'm sure that depends on which country you're originally from, and where you plan to work. These students were from India, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Albania, Russia, China and the UAE.\n\nThere are certain exceptions. An MBA from the top European programs - say, INSEAD or the London School of Economics, will also open doors.

Usually universities in America or UK are really good.

PhD is fine. As long as it's understandble that's not a big deal which format you use. it's like U.S.A. vs USA, both are understanble, thus are fine.

Either - both degrees are comparible to the UK bachelors (honours) degree, which is what you want.\n\nPolish degrees tend to be four years long, whereas Irish degrees tend to last 3 years.\n\nIf you are going to spend 3-4 years in one of these places, I'd recommend doing some research into the locations of the universities, cost of living, tuition fees, scholarships, etc.  If English is your first language, at least in Ireland you won't need to learn a new language.  Though this might not be a concern.  \n\nDon't go to India as a previous reply stated - their bachelors degrees are equivalent to a british ordinary degree (eg the grade you get here if you don't get a third class degree!).

Depends on the country and the costs involved. There are certain specialist subjects that are considered better taught in countries outside of the UK and the USA but the funding and sponsorship these colleges and universities receive from governments and business is essential in maintaining an edge in the education market.

my mom is anurse so ill tell you what she said about that. she used to work in america she said it was very good and you get good experience. It doesnt really matter where you work but if you start out at the US you'll get a good a good reference on your resume. But she also said the work in america is hard, alot of physical work.

If you are Indian, studying in UK is likely to be expensive.   I doubt that the education is any better in UK than in India (given the level of the Indian engineers I used to meet in previous jobs) with the possible section of a very small number of centres of excellence, such as Cambridge for physics, Edinburgh for Artificial Intelligence.   But then I don't know the hot unis in India for these subjects.   \n\nHowever, if you're thinking of applying for a job in the UK, best to have a UK degree rather than an Indian one.   Apart from the general snootyness that you'll still find in UK, employers here like their recruits to come from somewhere they feel they know something about.\n\nThat aside, if your degree comes from one country and you come from another, that marks you out immediately as an international player - could be quite a strength in recruitment, regardless of the countries involved.

I have done the same in a way, Britsh degree from Edinburgh and applied for a US government job. I had to prove some kind of equivalence with a US university or get my degree accredited by an independent source. The second option costs around $150. I got a nice professor from the university of california to write a letter for me (they have an office in edinburgh) explaining that courses from edinburgh were interchangeable with those from california. I suspect  that this is just because it's a govt job. Any questions please contact me
