YOU ARE WELCOME

If you are thinking of studying abroad - in America, Canada, Australia or Europe perhaps, then you have come to the right place!

Study abroad provides free university and college advice for students worldwide who are considering studying abroad for an international education. Please feel free to explore...
Before deciding to study abroad there are a few questions we will like you to ask your self, for this will enable you to make the right choices, they are:

» Why do I want to study abroad?
Studying abroad requires careful planning and preparation if you are to get the most out of it. This takes time. Ask yourself the question ‘Why do I want to study abroad?’ and look at what you expect to gain from it. As with any decision to undertake undergraduate or postgraduate study, it is important that you think carefully about what your options are, where you would like to study, the quality of the programme on offer and how you are going to fund it. Doing further study abroad may well require a significant personal and financial commitment and it’s important that you think through all the options, issues and practicalities.

» What are my options?
The availability of courses and qualifications overseas is broadly similar to the UK. This is particularly true of European and English-speaking countries. Management or business-related courses in Europe and the USA (for example, MBAs) have proved to be particularly popular, often as a springboard into management roles in internationally orientated organizations. Despite broad similarities in courses and qualifications, remember that the titles, content, entry requirements and duration of undergraduate programmes and funding can vary considerably. No one place will have all the information you need because of the range of options on offer. Familiarize yourself with the situation in a particular country before taking any action.

» Other issues to consider
The detail of the course and its contents - the titles and the duration of the course may be very different from what you are used to.
Remember that the range and quality of study available from country to country varies enormously. Institutions within countries may also have widely differing reputations and academic standards.
Assess the facilities and support for undergraduate study/research. Remember, too, that you are an international student.
Check the acceptability of your existing academic qualifications.
If you are interested in pursuing your particular research interest overseas, you should speak to a member of staff in your academic department who may be able to guide you on issues such as facilities, support, supervision and the viability of your proposed area of study.
You may also need to consider your ability to cope with the language in which the course is taught and perhaps even build in time to update your language skills.

Remember, choosing the right combination of course, college and country is probably one of the most important decisions any student who is considering studying abroad will ever have to face. So take your time to visit the different sections of this site, they are all very, very different and each includes a huge amount of information and advice.


Welcome !!!
welcome to the place where everybody is somebody and none is nobody
