Hi,
Many people who have financial problem go to Sweden for masters as it is free of cost and there is no tuition fee.

Area of interest during bachelors degree
Hello,
I am a final year student of electrical engg. in UET lhr. My main problem is i m not able to figure out my field of interest. i want to continue my studies further. What should i do?
Am i the only one, not able to figure it out?
regards
Should I go for an MBA or PhD?
My career path is as follows
- I have done my BS in Computer Software Engineering – 4 years degree from a reputed top Pakistani University. – GIKI. I am working for 1/2 an year as Software Engineer & Team Lead now at a Software house in Islamabad.
Team lead involves management as well, so i am thinking of pursuing MBA (probably MBA- IT) now along with job from NUST (as it’s close to my work place). I can do MS (CSE) as well from the same institution and pursue PHD. Later on and adopt teaching field as a career.
I am confused between the two. An year back I was never ever considering MBA as an option but now in the industry i feel that MBA can give me a jump in the corporate ladder.
One reason of MBA is also that i don’t like my field very (truly speaking) and i am always thinking of plans of smooth shift to some other field without any harm to my career. Other one is that i don’t see large multinational companies in software field here in Pakistan. All we have at many places is some people having 5-6 computers in a room and start a company which get’s closed down in less than 2 years (that is the upper limit as well 
)
What do you think that i should go for? and where i will end up in these fields. Will appreciate your sincere comments… thanks.

During my entire professional career, I have either worked for myself or for my family business. In that scenario, what/who is the best person to get the letter of recommendation from? I can manage the academic reference from my university but I am confused about the recommendation from work.
Thanks in advance.

How to get a foreign degree?
Hi,
I am 34 years old software engineer and web developer from Lahore. I did my BCS AND MCS from private institute in Pakistan, that became non-recognized by HEC.
I applied for study visa to improve my degree last year and got admission in University of Southampton, UK. But the uk Embassy rejected my visa saying that my university is non-recognized. I was not aware of his rule so now what do I do?
I want to get foreign degree to have a good job. I want to go to Australia , I want to work there and also want to support myself financially. But I cannot apply for immigration, work permit or student visa . I come from moderate family, so I don’t want to be a burden on my dad.
Now the only option left for me is to have paper marriage with some one living in Australia and get sponsorship, so that I can work and study.
Plz advice

MBA from UK or LUMS ?
I have just read the post regarding moving back to Pakistan, which provides a very good starting point. I’m in a similar position and have been thinking about the moving back to Pakistan for sometime.
The main driver for the move is coming back to my parents. I have a successful career here and am doing very well but just find that something is missing and would also like to contribute positively to Pakistan.
So i want my move to really work and am willing to give it all.
I graduated from the University of London and have been working in satellite communication for the last 5 years. I don’t know what Pakistan has to offer on that front so i am now thinking of starting something myself and also study when i get back to Pakistan.
I have decided on doing an MBA from LUMS to help diversify a bit and secondly ease myself back into the system as i have been away for quite a few years.
Is LUMS a good option to do my MBA from as i am planning to move back and stay there i don’t see the point in doing an MBA from the UK as the LUMS one is more tailored for Pakistan and has a very good reputation. Plus i might learn a bit about business as currently i work more on the technical side.
Or should i be thinking of doing an MBA from the UK and then come back? What should i do, i’m personally more inclined to go to LUMS as i can move sooner.
How should i approach this?
Thanks

Differences in duration of MS degrees
Hi
I would like to clear my confusion about the duration of Masters as same universities offers one year as well as two years Master program (of course the degree name would not be same) but I don’t understand the difference, I mean what impact doing one year degree make in ones career.
I have seen so many professionals who were never asked in their interview about their MS duration.
I’m currently working at Motorola Inc.
Could any comment on this..
Thanks in advance.

Please also consider that

I want to do MBA from UK on Scholarship
I graduated from FAST-NU in June 2003. I did my BS-CS from there. I secured a GPA of 2.9 there. I have pretty good communication skills too. At present I am working for a software house of a multinational company. I have a 1 year experience.
Now, i want to go for an MBA in UK. Here are my requirements and what i am looking for. Please help me in this regard.
Requirements:
=============
1. 1 year study within London, preferably high ranked universities like Oxford, UCL, Cambridge, LSE etc.
2. I need a full scholarship for it that especially covers my tuition fee, it may or may not include my accommodation and transport. But tuition fee is a must.
3. Most importantly, i want to get a scholarship before i get admitted. I do not want to go through the entire procedure of getting admitted into a university and finally getting an admission and in the end not getting the scholarship. e.g. The Rhodes Scholarship is signed before the admission so i want details for such scholarships.
3.The study program should start by January 2009 or at max no later than August/September 2009.
Please help me on what procedure i should follow for this, which scholarships i should apply for, which universities would best suit me and any more fruitful information in this regard.
Thank you.
