What is the "right" country for studying abroad?
The "right" country is a state that will give the student exactly what he is looking for - it can be more in-depth study of a subject, research opportunities, employment prospects or a more simplified procedure for obtaining a permanent residence permit.
Choosing a destination that perfectly suits your needs will make it easy for you to start your studies and adjust to life abroad.
Factors that will help you choose the best country to study abroad
Choose the desired discipline
So you have an idea of what you want to study and you need to find a place that will give you the training you need. You may find places that offer interesting interdisciplinary bachelor's or master's programs or specializations that you may not have even considered.
We offer you a list of the most popular disciplines available in some of the most popular countries. You can study finance in France, economics in Germany, healthcare in the UK, marketing in Spain or health sciences in the US.
Explore the student visa process
Another important stage of preparation for studying abroad is the visa application procedure. Before deciding on a destination, make sure that the country offers a student visa and that the application process is valid.
The process of applying for a student visa to study abroad can be confusing as it differs from country to country.
It is much easier to get a student visa in countries like Canada, Australia, Germany or New Zealand. Canada also has a separate study permit program that is favorable to immigration, as well as a post-graduation work permit program.
How affordable is education in the country
Studying abroad can be quite expensive, so it's important to calculate the total costs before enrolling. To do this, you need to take into account: the cost of tuition fees, accommodation and food costs, fees for taking entrance tests/exams (GRE, TOEFL, GMAT, IELTS), transport costs, other costs such as the cost of buying books, paying for Wi-Fi -Fi, laundry bills etc.
The cost of studying abroad in a particular country depends on the location, the courses and the university you choose.
Are scholarship programs developed
Many scholarships have been developed in the world for which foreign students in any country can apply. But the best ones are those offered by the country's government. These scholarships can cover your entire tuition fees, living expenses, etc. So be sure to explore your options with this factor in mind.
How safe is the country
With crime rates rising around the world, parents are concerned about the well-being of their children. Choose a country with a lower crime rate and choose universities in safer areas. Universities have on-campus housing that provides an increased level of security for students. Chat with students who have traveled to your desired destination and learn more about safety.
When planning to move abroad to study, be sure to take care of reliable insurance for foreign students. The policy meets all the requirements for a student visa, provides you with medical care and guarantees a peaceful study. For your convenience, there are four levels of coverage and various monthly payment options.
Language barrier
English is the most widely spoken language in the world, both by native and non-native speakers. However, considering only native speakers, Chinese is the most widely spoken language. It is important to understand the language of the country in which you are going to be - whether it is France, Norway, Spain or Sweden. Learning the basics of the language is important when traveling outside of college or when you decide to get a job.
Find out about employment opportunities
The ultimate goal of applying to study abroad is personal and professional development, so students should choose a country that supports long-term professional growth and offers them career prospects
University rankings
There are many different ranking systems created by several organizations that use different metrics to compile lists of the best universities.
They measure academic and educational performance, as well as the educational environment of the institution. Major ranking systems are data-driven hierarchies that determine competition between major universities around the world.
To begin the selection process, start by choosing the course that best suits your future goals. Don't forget to research the best universities in the countries you've chosen for your course. This will help you narrow down the countries in which you can study.
