Education is very much global today. All the renowned universities being interlinked under the
international education organizations, students can select any country to complete their education.
There are several reasons why students move abroad for studies; it can be financial, social, status
related, professionalism etc certain countries are so backward in education and people who opt for
quality education may fly abroad.
Certain students move abroad as the job opportunities are higher aboard than the native country. Yet another group of people select a foreign nation for education because of the financial status.
The fees structure for the same course in different countries may differ largely. There are some facts and tips every student who dreams of studying abroad should consider.
How to select the right college and university?
Selecting the right college or university is most important as an unwise choice may cause in irrevocable loss of money, time and energy. When you select a college or university abroad to continue your studies make sure that the university is approved worldwide or at least in the countries you are planning to work in future.
Websites, counselors etc… may help you with this regard. Make a detailed study of the
course, curricular and syllabus of the college which you are planning to enter. The fees paid once may
not be refunded which makes it impossible for a person to quit a college and join another one. Be clear about the accommodation facilities, class timings etc… before you board the flight to the country.
Financial aids for foreign study
For a typical Indian student, foreign study can be steeply expensive as when compared with the global education costs, education India is quite cheaper. Yet people consider foreign education aiming at the possible high returns and the global exposure.
I just thought I should share this small bit of interesting fact that I learn about India. Though the normal trend of all Indian parents is to make their child an engineer or doctor, they also look into the Rashi or rather the Horoscope of the person in question.
There are several options a student can rely upon for finance to purse foreign education. Family funds, bank loans, scholarships, bursaries, sponsorships etc…are the common source of income for a foreign scholar.
Many countries permit the students to work for designated hours a week. But expecting to earn from the part time work alone is a stupidity as if you fail to get a job, then you may run out for financial aids. Possessing a bank loan is good option and if you get some part time jobs the income would be sufficient to meet the living expenses.
Consider your personal interests
Selecting a renowned university and country of your dream is only secondary when certain other
personal interests are considered. Make a study of the nature of the course offered in different
countries.
For example, the same course may take different time periods in different countries. If you
can complete the course in one year in UK, moving to US where it may take two years is not advised.
See if the country is friendly with your nation and the university welcomes foreign students without
hesitation. Less complex visa processing is to be preferred as a minor issue in your permit may end up with deportation.
Fulfill the eligibility criteria before you move abroad
Each course and each country demands certain eligibility levels from every foreign student. Though, the university provides you with the student visa, be careful to cross check the demands of the country before you take the flight. Certain language certificates like TOFEL, IELTS etc… are mandatory for English speaking countries. Possess the certificates before you apply for the course in foreign universities.
Be careful that your eligibility matches perfectly with university criteria and requirements of the particular country.
Know international laws and practices
Having basis knowledge of the laws of the country you are planning to move into may help you to be
safe and hassle-free. There can arise several issues regarding the accommodation, part time job,
vacations etc… if you are not aware of the laws of the country.
Also you may be denied of certain privileges every country offers to foreign students. Know your rights as well duties as a foreign student.
Most countries offer the privilege of working for a year or two after completing the course. Availing this option may help you to attain enough work experience and also help you earn handsome income soon after completing the course.
