I'll be finishing my Bachelor's in Mathematics this year in Iran. After that, I'm considering Japan for my Master's studies, especially in AI/ML programs. One of the main reasons I'm thinking about Japan is the MEXT Scholarship. Besides that, I genuinely like the Japanese language and culture.
To be honest, I'm still not sure if studying in Japan is worth it. Due to the poor state of our currency, I don't have many options, and I’ve heard that fully funded scholarships for Master’s students are quite rare.
My main goal is to find a job after graduation—preferably in the country where I complete my studies—and eventually connect to the international tech market.
Right now, I’m working for a tech company in Iran, and I’m planning to leave the country because of the unstable economy, high inflation, and low purchasing power (even the highest salaries in Iran market barely reach $2000 per month).
Is Japan a good place to study AI/ML? Are there job opportunities after graduation? And can I connect to the global tech industry from there?
