Manchester's old textile mills line the Merrimack River, and UNH Manchester teaches inside one of them. It's the urban campus of the University of New Hampshire, focused on computing, analytics, biotechnology and business. Tech companies in the Millyard sit next door, which makes internships easier to find. Boston is about an hour south.

UNH Manchester reviews most applications on a rolling basis. MS Analytics has earlier deadlines, so check the programme page first.
Most programmes start in the fall, and several also admit in spring. The MS Analytics cohort starts once a year.
You'll need an F-1 visa. Once you accept your offer and send proof of funding, University of New Hampshire issues the Form I-20. After that it's the SEVIS fee, the DS-160 form and an interview at a US embassy or consulate.
Information technology, analytics, computer science and biotechnology are popular. Master's applicants need a bachelor's degree and IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 80.
UNH offers merit scholarships to some international undergraduates. Graduate funding is limited, so ask the programme directly.
