The most important questions before you go abroad to pursue higher studies will always be:
What do you want to pursue?
Where (or in which country) do you want to study?
In which university/college/institute do you prefer to study?
How much are the fees for my study programme?
To answer these questions, the very first step should be:
Going miles away from your hometown is a huge leap. To ensure it’s worthwhile, do your homework well. Conduct a thorough research. Sticky notes, memos, everything should be filled with the utmost necessary information.
Find a course of study. Not just the core disciplines. Remember, countries abroad have more choices than you can even think of. Hence, explore every possible subfield of your core area of interest. After you have shortlisted a few courses of study, look for the universities and their respective countries. There’s no harm in shortlisting more than 1 course because you should always have a plan B when plan A doesn’t work out. Choose a country where you’d be comfortable with the culture and livelihood.
Join study abroad communities on social media platforms to have a brief idea about the scholarships, miscellaneous expenses, livelihood, and job prospects. This will further help you narrow down your choices.
Consult with our study abroad experts at Educafic, who will guide you in making the best choice for a rewarding career.
Have you chosen your preferred universities to study abroad? Great! It’s time to apply to the institutions one by one. Before applying, ensure you have qualified for the entrance examinations that each course deems fit for. One of the common eligibility requirements for any international course is the English Proficiency Test. It is mandatory to appear for one of these and qualify with a minimum of 70%:
IELTS
PTE
TOEFL
CPE
We recommend that you appear for IELTS as it is the most widely accepted English Proficiency Test in the world. More than 90% of universities accept IELTS scores as their entry requirements. You need to achieve a minimum of 7.5 band score in your IELTS exam to study abroad.
If you face any issues while sending out applications or are unsure about the right process, consult an overseas education consultant at Educafic. Our expert advisors will be able to file an application error-free on your behalf.
