What Questions Should You Ask Your Study Abroad Advisor?
Why Should one Study Abroad?
There are various benefits to studying abroad. You will
acquire more experience the more you explore. And when you choose to study
abroad, there is so much to discover. You learn about another country's
culture, encounter hardships, and create worldwide friendships. One of the key
benefits of studying abroad is that it strengthens your portfolio as you seek
the job you desire.
When is it appropriate to submit an application
to a university?
Every international institute has admissions throughout the
year. During the school year, some have two openings, while others have 3, one,
or a continuous entry. Most of the institutions in a country have the same
admission. As a result, you should start the admissions procedure at least a
year ahead of time for the desired intake. You might start these procedures 3-4
months ahead of time in some circumstances.
What are the prerequisites for enrolling in a
course?
Every institution has its own set of prerequisites, which
typically contain basic academic qualifications, English language, admission
exam criteria, relevant job experience, and so on. Your study abroad advisor can
assist you in identifying programs that are appropriate for your needs.
What if you don't meet the minimal entrance
requirements?
If a student lacks official requirements for the
undergraduate program, he or she might enroll in a Foundation program, which
can last one school year (2 semesters). Many institutions, as well as many
colleges, offer Foundation programs.
For Postgraduate Research Students who do not have a
professional education or appropriate job expertise but have proven to the
course teacher that they have a passion for the subject matter may be accepted
into a Postgraduate Certificate program. The first semester of the required
master's degree is commonly covered by a PG Certificate program, which lasts
six months. Without wasting time, one can claim admission to a postgraduate
diploma and then a master's degree after demonstrating strong performance in
the postgraduate certificate program.
Is it possible to work while studying abroad?
It is dependent on the duration and type of program you are
enrolled in. The immigration stamp in your passport will indicate if you are
eligible to work. International students are permitted to work 20 hours per
week during the school year and full-time during the summer vacation. Many
colleges and universities provide a 'Job shop' to assist students in finding
part-time work. Newspapers and the internet are also used to publicize job
openings. There are also several states and international employment agencies,
both government and commercial, that may provide guidance on the wide range of
possibilities accessible to their clients' enterprises and industries. Most
companies will want to examine your CV and, in certain cases, will conduct an
interview before making a hiring decision.
A student's scores in high school or college
are below average. Will he/she be accepted?
Yes, even if one's school grades are below average, one can
get admitted. There are some reputable universities overseas that recognize
that students lose concentration and do not focus on their academics from time
to time. They even have a good understanding of the Indian educational system
because they work closely with us. These institutions will be willing to offer
you a second opportunity.
What are Sandwich and Foundation programs?
Sandwich programs combine periods of education with time
spent working in the industry. For all bachelor's courses, the duration is
extended to four years rather than the typical three. Foundation programs are
one-year long and are designed to help students bridge the gap between their
current qualifications and those necessary for admittance into a degree program
at an international university or college.
Can I study in Canada for free as an
international student?
Even for Canadian students, there are no tuition-free
universities. You can, however, study without paying tuition by receiving full
tuition or even a fully-funded scholarship. A study abroad advisor can guide
you better on whether or not you should study in Canada.
What is RA(Research Assistantship)?
A research fellowship or assistantship is a grant that
permits you to work as an assistant to a lecturer on a research topic that has
been assigned to him. As a research assistant, the student is eligible for a
tuition waiver or pays in-state tuition rates while also earning money to help
them pay for their study.
What kind of challenges can one face?
When you leave your hometown behind and move to a new location,
you could find it difficult to adapt since you are out of your normal routine.
While living abroad, you may experience homesickness or loneliness, as well as
language barriers and financial difficulties. And you must view these
difficulties as opportunities for self-improvement.
