The answer

It is advised not to travel to non-Muslim countries for study, especially for women, due to the risks this poses to one's religion and self. One should emigrate to a Muslim country if they fear for their religion. However, if there is a compelling need to travel, such as for a specialization unavailable elsewhere, and you hope for safety for yourself, then there is no harm, provided you do not lie or approve of forbidden acts, and you travel with a mahram.
