where would u chose to continue ur masters degree ?

[kalel]

i am a Electrical engineering student and i intend to also get my BE in CCE (it will only take me 1 semester afte i graduate) but i surely want to continue my masters abroad . but i have no idea where . i guess some of u have finished or are currently undergoing their masters abroad any advice or help ?

btw i would really want to do a master in either :

network and wireless systems or robotics communications control.

Few criterias to consider :

-Where did you graduate from ? Did you major in English or in French ? Are you fluent in both or other ?
-Do you hold any foreign passport ?
-Did you graduate with honors ? What was your GPA ?
-Does your university has any contacts or mutual agreements abroad ?
etc.

Maybe if you elaborate a little bit more, we could help you out.

havent graduated yet.
i m in ndu right now i have a 3.2 gpa
and no i dont have any other nationality other than the lebanese one
and i m fluent in 4 different languages but im considering a english based program

[shevchenco]

I just started my grad studies this september (also in electrical engineering)

1. for the gpa, is it 3.2/4.0? or what?
2. usually grad school entrance requires at least 76% average (all 4 years or 3&4 th)
3. tuition fees would be an issue for you as you'll be considered an international student

tuition fees i get it but can t i get some kind of financial help ?

tuition fees depend whether the university is public or private. as for financial assistance (whether it's a scholarship or a bursary) differs from one country to another and it even differs between universities in the same country.
for better information, just check the universities' websites one by one.

in a recession, the best thing you can do is to continue your studies.

if you want to stay in the middle east, without any hesitation, Sherif University of Iran. it beats israeli universities ( at least in electrical engineering and nano technology to be more specific). just go to any top university in the world and you'll find a really big number of faculty and students that graduated from sherif. (that's why I understand farsi ). Anyways, for the US, there are tens of schools: MIT, stanford, UCLA, UC- berkley, U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor , Purdue University , Georgia Institute of Technology, .... and many many more. for Canada: U of Toronto, Waterloo, U of Alberta,McGill, U of British Columbia (2nd in canada and 34-35 in the world I know this because that's where I study). Also there are some really good universities in europe but I don't really know which are the best.


One really important thing, the most important step in applying to a grad school is to talk to a professor because even if your average is 100% and you have all the best skills in the world and you didn't find a professor to work with, you'll not be accepted.
