As someone studying engineering and also looking for a way out, what all options have you looked into? Immigration seems to be both expensive and competitive in most places, and those are two things I don't know that I'm prepared for.

My advisor got her PhD in England, so I've been trying to get her help in navigating this. I specifically want to do a research PhD, so that narrows my choices a little. Something I don't see mentioned much is networking. I've read a few studies that I can see myself doing, so I'm going to reach out to those researchers because my undergraduate research compliments their research.

There's an exchange program called Erasmus that will provide a monthly living allowance. I saw another one that offered help with employment after completing the degree but I can't find it now. That might have been university-specific.
