Advice needed. University of Leeds - Msc engineering geology

24M - I graduated last year (did a masters in core geology) and then worked at a hydrogeology firm for a few months and now applied for Msc engineering geology at Leeds. As an international student my fees is costing around 24k. I have an interest in geotechnical work and also have a research paper published in this domain. So here's the query:

* is it a wise step to take considering the roi.

* will it be hard to get sponsored.

* if not sponsored, will this degree get me a job elsewhere in the world (Oceania, Mid East).

* also have an offer from Portsmouth, same questions

Please i need genuine advice.
