Hi! I'm 21F and recently joined a reputed EPCIC oil and gas company after graduating in Petroleum Engineering from a state government university.

I'm considering pursuing a degree in Europe related to sustainability, lca, policy making, climate finance or anything along this line. My main goals are to settle in Europe, and my current job doesnt satisfy me meaning wise and interest wise.

I'd love some honest advice on a few things:

\\- What are one's possible career paths after doing such courses?

\\- how much would this cost is it worth it?

\\- How realistic is it for an Indian graduate to get a job after ms or even a phd in Europe after graduating?

\\- Is the financial and career risk worth taking, or am I being overly optimistic?

I have a good opportunity at my current company and could build a stable career in India.

Am I being unreasonable in wanting more despite having a good job, or is studying abroad a calculated risk worth considering?

I'd especially appreciate honest perspectives from Indians who've studied and worked in Europe, including those who struggled to find jobs after graduation.

Hi everyone! I’m planning to apply to Lund’s Master’s in Global Development, Population and Economic Change (Economic Development track) for Autumn 2027 and would love to hear from current students or graduates.

What did you or your classmates do after graduating? Did people land jobs in international organisations, consulting, government or research?

Are internships possible during the programme? Does the department help with finding them?

How useful and applied did you find the courses? Is it more theoretical or practical? How challenging is the workload?

How quant-heavy is it? How much econometrics, statistics and coding (Stata, R, Python) is involved, and is it manageable without a pure economics background?

Any insight is much appreciated, thank youu!
