Pursuing Masters outside CS
-
If you are graduating with a CS bachelors and would like to apply for masters in other fields such as finance or even philosophy, do you still have good chances of funding / scholarships? And are you at a disadvantage compared to other applicants?
- Most funded masters in the US / Canada are based on TA/RAship so those won't be accessible, so perhaps UK universities?
Is there precedence of someone who has done this so I can connect with them?

In general, Masters funding is very limited and in my experience, it is generally even lower outside CS and Engineering fields. However, scholarships can still work out, such as Erasmus Mundas in Europe, Commonwealth Scholarship in the UK and the Fulbright Scholarship for US. I don’t recall recent examples of students taking that path but will let you know if I find someone.

Thank you, will have a look at these.
