You need to first choose the country of preference by the reputation of the university, facilities available for research, course content, course cost and cost of living. You have to apply to various universities and find out if they will accept research scholars. You will need a guide and along with the guide a mutually accepted topic will be determined for your research project. Some universities may offer some funding. You will therefore have to a lot of spade work to do before you can shortlist some universities. Also you need to be aware of the visa rules for each country, though it may not be difficult to get a study/student visa, some countries are known to have refused visa to students also.
