5 Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing an Overseas Education

November 2018

Studying abroad need not have to be expensive, especially when you know what you're dealing with upfront. Apart from asking yourself where you want to go and how much will it cost you, here's everything you need to consider for an overseas education.

• Program

While choosing a program is a relatively easy task for most candidates, there are still others that face a great deal of difficulty in choosing the right program. There are several factors that can help one decide on a program such as the cost, length of program and credits you wish to earn. Additionally, understanding the skills you will gain from a particular program is equally important.

• Country

Country selection is another important aspect when considering an overseas degree. Ask yourself where is it that you really wish to study? Would you rather experience snowy winters or cool and breezy summers. All of this will add perspective to your country choice and preference.

• Housing

Housing can play a critical role in promoting or hindering your cultural immersion.You want to find a place that is not just afforable, but one that is liveable too. Start looking for housing options as soon as you have confirmed your study destination. Speak to past veterans on living options, and choose an accomodation that will help you get the most out of your study abroad experience.

• Cost

The cost of studying abroad varies depending on the duration of the program, location and other miscellaneous course fees. However, there is a program out there to meet every budget. More so, there are also a variety of scholarships and bursaries available to help offset costs, thereby making an education overseas both cost-effective and reasonable. When looking for funding, start early and seek assistance from multiple sources.

• Cultural Sensitivity

Studying abroad is the ability to function within another culture. While it is important that you understand and follow the cultural norms of society, it is also important that you are respectful and sensitive toward the country you will be living in.
