How to choose an engineering master's degree abroad?
Hello!
I finished my 3rd year at the university and decided to enter a master's program abroad.
Which countries in Eurasia/North America offer free master's degrees in engineering?
Preferably with scholarships.
Areas of interest: aircraft engine design, aerospace engineering, fluid mechanics.
Also interesting is the list of documents, personal experience and valuable advice.
From the important thing about me: a citizen of Ukraine, not married.

As someone studying for an engineering master's degree in Europe, I'll give you some advice again for Europe. Other parts of the world may have their own troubles.
First of all, learn English and pass IELTS with at least 6.5 points. It is IELTS, not TOEFL, because with the latter, there are problems with sending the certificate (sometimes these problems turn out to be fatal).
Next, look for universities that provide scholarships, as well as scholarship funds for non-EU citizens. Offhand, this is the German DAAD Foundation, there used to be a scholarship at RWTH Aachen, the Swedish SI Institute also had scholarships, look at the Dutch technical universities (TU Twente, TU Delft, TU Eindhoven), in Switzerland there are two federal tech. schools, etc. In general, this is a big search work, here the situation changes from year to year.
Look for master's programs that match your specialty and that have funding.
Universities in Europe can be searched for example by QS ranking, by specific areas. Leading technical universities on the continent: ETH, EPFL, TU Delft, KTH, TU Munchen and so on in descending order.
Documents usually: translated diploma, resume, motivation letter, a couple of recommendations from professors, IELTS / TOELF certificate.
The process of entering the program and applying for a scholarship are separated from each other.
To health!
PS As an option, you can consider a PhD in the USA, where usually the master's course is integrated into graduate school and often graduate students are given funding.
