Be specific about which science
Science is not one labour market. The demand is real, but it sits in named sectors and named occupations - and the lists are public, so you can plan against them.
Compare the top destinations
The right country depends on your budget, whether you want a three-year bachelor's or a one-year master's, and how much lab or field time the course carries. Here is how they compare for science.

UniXperts students studying abroad
“I had a great experience working with UniXperts throughout my New Zealand study visa process. The entire team was very supportive, professional, and guided me at every step with clear and accurate information.”
“My first visa application was rejected, and I even consulted a few immigration lawyers who told me to wait at least a year before reapplying. But UniXperts didn't give up on me. They reworked my case, and within just 2 months I got my visa approved.”
