This program gives you an early exposure to living abroad. A common trend among seniors, the high school study abroad program serves as a ‘trial session’ for those who still have dilemmas about getting their degree abroad.
Studying abroad in your high school years gives you a peek into international education, cultural differences, and independent living. The experience gives you a better perspective of the world which helps in your personal development. You also have the advantage of establishing connections with people who can assist in your application to pursue your tertiary education abroad.
The student exchange program offers you a chance to study overseas for up to a year. Here’s how it works: You will swap places with a student from the country of your choice. You will then live with a host family and learn about their traditions and customs to settle in, while the international student does the same in your home country.
This program is popular among first-year and second-year college students. Many applicants are students who want to experience studying overseas, but don’t have the budget or desire to migrate or commit staying there for too long. Yet, several of them came back satisfied, mature and independent from their experience from staying abroad. Some popular destinations are the UK, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.
If you wish to study abroad after this brief experience, you can switch to a twinning program to spend your remaining college years abroad. This program typically allows students to spend 1 to 2 years abroad, depending on the length of their course. Keep in mind that some universities only allow students to apply for a twinning program at the beginning of their enrolment. So, make sure to do your research thoroughly!
From university applications to submitting documents for your Student Visa, the entire migrating process can be lengthy and confusing. Once you’ve decided where and what to study for your degree, it’s time think about your application. Some countries require international students to submit two applications: one for the university, and one for the course. You can find the application details on their official website, or contact the administrators for help.
As we all know, your Visa application can take months to be approved. We suggest compiling all documents in advance to avoid delays. Below are common documents you need to apply for a Student Visa:
*You may need a language certificate if you’re studying abroad at places that require you to speak their native language. As students are required to go through a language test to obtain the certificate, it is best for you to research and prepare ahead of time.
If you’re planning to study in Malaysia, this article shows how to get your Visa approved quickly.
There are plenty of scholarships and grants for international students that can save you lots of money.
As there will be a tight competition for academic scholarships, it is best for you to get better grades to increase your chances of getting selected. Writing an impressive personal essay also helps you stand out better than other applicants. One good tip to nail your essay is by personalizing it instead of copying most of the content from the Internet.
Going through a study abroad agency eases the application and enrolment process.
Applying to universities yourself can be time-consuming and troublesome, as we’ve highlighted in an article here. Hence, an agency can get it done for you quickly and efficiently.
