Hey guys , I’m a 21M student doing a bachelors of Political Science major with a double minor in Psychology and Geography. I have a heavy interest in geopolitical analysis/media (currently building a YouTube channel). I’m planning my move to Europe for Master's intake. My primary goal is absolute independence from family and building a Sovereign Backup (PR/Passport) while transitioning into a career that is lucrative and interesting for masters. Not exactly sure what I want to pursue for my masters. I care about what happens in the world and want to make meaningful positive changes in it. My Situation & Constraints: * Academic: Strong leadership background, but I am looking for Action-Based/Capstone programs. I want to avoid the sitting tax of a traditional 20,000-word research thesis. * Medical/Physical: I have a 44 - 53 degree thoracic scoliosis c curve and left SI joint degeneration due to it. Accessibility is very important for me . Asthmatic as well. * Personality: Vata personality + ENFP-T + Libra , I thrive in high-intellect environments. I dislike "hollow" social performances like you have to do in london ; I'm looking for ambitious and serious peers. I’m considering these countries: Netherlands (Amsterdam - UvA): Sweden (Stockholm): Concern: How hard is it for a South Asian student to build a friends + solid network here? Like to socially integrate in society. Italy (Milan - Bocconi): * Concern: A long 10-year path to citizenship. Plus not enough pay. Denmark (Copenhagen): * Concern: Very strict PR rules (8 years + Language); is it worth it for the people you meet and the studies, is it a good country for masters? Main Questions: * Are there specific Professional Track Master's in the EU that actually allow you to swap a thesis for a Capstone Project or high-level internship? I’m looking for a comfortable environment so that I can focus on my studies without constantly worrying about my health. I want to do masters abroad in a place where I can get my freedom and autonomy, not a conservative place. Also what’s it like living in these countries, will language barrier pose an issue? Any advice from you guys would be huge. Thank you very much for reading submitted by /u/Oliverqueen627 [link] [comments]
