UK is strongest for academic prestige, 1-year Master's duration, and careers in law or finance. Canada suits long-term PR goals. Australia offers longer post-study work rights. The best choice depends on your career and settlement plans.

Undergraduate: via UCAS (up to 5 universities, one application). Postgraduate: direct to each university's online portal. Abrodify manages both UCAS personal statements and postgraduate SOPs as part of its end-to-end service.
