Career Paths

Why Study Health & Healthcare Abroad Instead of India?

Key advantages that an international Health & Healthcare degree provides for Indian students

💰

Significantly Higher Graduate Salary

Health & Healthcare graduates from overseas universities earn $72K–$90K per year internationally — approximately ₹60L–₹76L per year. This typically represents a 3–5× premium over a comparable Indian degree after 3–5 years of work experience.

🌐

Global Brand Recognition & Alumni Network

Degrees from top-ranked universities in Australia and UK are recognised by employers worldwide. An international Health & Healthcare credential opens doors at global MNCs, research institutions, and startups that a domestic degree alone may not unlock.

🛂

Post-Study Work Rights & Immigration Pathway

Countries like Canada (PGWP up to 3 years → Express Entry PR), Australia (Temporary Graduate Visa 2–4 years), and the UK (Graduate Route 2 years) let you work — and potentially settle — after your Health & Healthcare degree. This immigration advantage is unavailable with an Indian degree.

🔬

Better Research Infrastructure & Industry Access

The best global universities for Health & Healthcare are directly embedded in their industries. Internships, paid placements, research labs, and live project collaborations with top employers are built into most programs. This produces a much stronger CV before graduation than most Indian institutions offer.

🎓

Scholarships & Positive ROI Within 2–3 Years

While tuition appears high, scholarships, part-time work (20 hrs/week during term), and competitive post-study salaries mean most international Health & Healthcare students recover their full investment within 2–3 years of graduating. Jaivik Overseas helps every student identify and apply for relevant scholarships before committing to a program.
