We offer a FREE one-on-one counselling session to help you assess your goals, figure out your options, and come up with a game-plan.
But even before we help you, there are things that you can do – like deciding which country you should choose, to pursue your studies abroad.
We suggest the following framework to help you do your research, and pick the right country for you and your goals.
Read on to learn more!
1. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO STUDY?
The first thing to do is to figure out the field you are passionate about and want to specialise in. As an experienced Overseas Study Consultant, we know that the overseas education process is smoothest when students have a clear picture of their goals and passions. Some of the most popular programmes amongst our students include PG programmes in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Engineering and MBA.
Find out about the various kinds of programmes available in your chosen field, and figure out which programmes would be best suited to your particular goals.
Should you take up a 6 month-certificate course, or a 2-year Master’s degree?
Would you benefit from a hands-on, work-oriented sandwich programme, or is a research-intensive programme more appropriate for you?
What do each of these involve and what are the career prospects that follow?
2. IN WHICH COUNTRY SHOULD YOU THIS SUBJECT / PROGRAMME?
There are several countries abroad where you could study your chosen subject – universities across the world offer a wide range of programmes. But you must narrow it down to those countries which are best suited for you!
The first thing you must consider is – which country is particularly well-known for the subject/programme you want to study? For instance, Germany offers some of the world’s best programmes in Engineering, while the USA is an international favourite to pursue an MBA.
Online databases such as QS Rankings Top Universities, and THE’s World University Rankings are some handy resources to help you identify the best countries for your subject.
3. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COUNTRY
Besides figuring out which country is the best for you, career-wise, you must learn more about what your life would look like in any potential country. Having an idea of the rules, lifestyle and culture, will help you pick the country that you will feel comfortable living, studying and working in.
- Does the country offer programmes in English, or would you be required to learn a different language?
- What are the basic visa requirements to enter the country – such as language proficiency tests and so on?
- What is the average cost of living in this country?
- What is the culture like in this country? What is the language spoken?
- What are the work opportunities available in this country, if this is a requirement for your study abroad plans?
4. WHICH UNIVERSITIES CAN YOU STUDY IN?
Find out about the Top 10 Universities to study abroad for your particular subject in your potential chosen countries.
For instance, if you want to pursue a Master’s in Data Science in the UK, some of your top choices include the University of Edinburgh, King’s College London and the University of Southampton in the UK; or if Australia is your preferred destination, your options include the University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney and RMIT in Australia.
Where are these universities located – in big cities or small university towns? What are the living and working opportunities available in that location? What are the living expenses like? What kind of facilities does the university offer for international students? Is there an Indian student organisation there?
5. WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?
While our job as your Overseas Study Consultant is to help you clarify your credentials and organise your required documents and certificates, you will benefit most from having a clear picture of what you need.
What are the various requirements for the particular programme you want to pursue, in that particular country?
What prior degrees do you need? What subjects/modules must you have covered during your undergraduate programme? Do you require work experience or a portfolio? What are the standardised tests you are required to take and the minimum scores – such as English language proficiency tests like IELTS or PTE, or graduate exams like GRE or GMAT?
