Scored Low In Your Board Exams? It's Not The End Of The World

November 2018

Have you ever scored low in any of your board exam and immediately saw your world coming crashing down? If yes, then you should definitely continue reading this. Even if quotes like “Failure is the stepping stone to success” or “Even the word Impossible has 'I' 'am' possible in it” or “We learn from failure not from success” etc might sound cliche, they still hold immense accuracy and relevance.

In the contemporary world, a lot of new careers and professions have come into existence. Each of these careers and professions require and demand specific kind of qualifications which are offered by educational institutions worldwide.

In order to lead a luxurious, lavish and most importantly a secured life, the demand for rich quality education has reached its highest peak. Every young individual today strives to get into a topmost university to gain the best education.To reach to this level, one has to surpass numerous challenges. The most important challenge one has to face is to secure high scores.

Don't let low scores come in the way of your dreams. The youth today has variety of options. Field of study is no more narrow.

There are various options you can look at:

• Pleathora of Courses:

With courses available for all fields, you can choose any one which best suits your interest. Courses like Fashion Designing, Music, Photography, Acting and Theatre, Mass Communication and Media, etc can be considered.

• Entrance Exam Based Courses:

There are many courses that require one to give entrance exams. Such courses do not give much prominence to the grades you have scored in your past examinations. One's application in such courses is purely based on how one performs in the entrance test. Courses such as Design, Management, Mass Media Communication, Journalism, Law, etc are all entrance exam based courses. Thus dont bother yourself with unnecessary stress.

• Join a Community College:

Community colleges are higher education institutions that offer diploma and transfer degree courses of short duration. Usually of two years. Low scores dont matter much as they readily admit students with low GPA. The reason for this is because, pursuing a course from a community college is just a kick start to your higher education.

• Engage in Extra-curricular Activities:

Specialising in extra curricular activies like sports, music, arts and theatre, dance, etc increases your chances of getting admitted into the desired college and university. Working for a reputed club or organisation or even starting with a business of your own can get one shortlisted.

• Ask for Recommendation:

This is one of the smartest way one can adopt in order to increase the chances of getting admitted. Ask your school and college teachers, your coach, work colleague, and your boss to draft letters of recommendation for you. Their words might speak louder than your scores.

• Powerful Statement of Purpose:

Its an essay that gives you a chance to write and explain in detail about yourself and about your dreams and aspirations. Through this essay you can try your level best to convince the admission committee why you should be and are apt to be admitted to the university, irrespective of your low grades. How you tell your story holds the power to change the admission officer's mind and make him/her consider your application.

• Don't Restrict Your Thoughts:

Universities in different countries offer different courses. Dont restrict your research only till well known countries and university/colleges. Try looking out for next best institutions. Not getting into a reputed college doesnt mean that there are no other ways of succeeding. Very often, the less known educational institutes offer the best quality education. Hence, do an indepth research.

• Career counseling:

Things clearly haven't worked out for you due to low scores. Your old plan has gone for a toss. This might leave you in the midddle of nowhere. If this has happened, then there is no need to worry. You can always seek help from a counselor. A counselor acts like a fire brigade who comes to your rescue. Consult him/her and get the right guidance.

Top 5 Reasons to Study in the UK

November 2018

From being the land of the British Empire to the land of one of the highest numbers of inventions, The United Kingdom has come a long way. It is currently the 8th largest economy in terms of (PPP) purchasing power parity, contributing majorly to the global economy. 

United Kingdom due to its abundance of rich knowledge is a home to inventions such as the steam engine, telephone, photography, passenger railway, and also the World Wide Web. As interesting as this sounds, it is even more enthralling to know that greatest personalities of all times like Isaac Newton (greatest scientist who developed theories like gravity), William Shakespeare (father of English literature), Stephen Hawking (a scientist born in Oxford itself, who developed theories around black holes, stars, and universe), J.K. Rowling (author of the very famous Harry Potter series), Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the World Wide Web), and so many more hail from this kingdom. 

Considering this, why should any person aspiring to pursue higher education from abroad not think of studying in the UK? 

Still if you require more concrete reasons to study in the United Kingdom; mentioned below are few crucial reasons to look at:

• World's Best Universities:

The world's most well-known universities, the University of Oxford and Cambridge resides in here. This just proves the quality of education UK offers to its students. The popular publications of university rankings like Times' Higher Education Rankings and QS World Rankings always rank the universities of UK in the top 10 universities of the world due to their academic reputation. Not only is UK a home to world's best universities but it also offers certificates degrees and qualifications which are internationally recognized. A degree from UK creates a great impression and reputation of you on the recruiters. Thus studying in UK adds a great value to your future as well as life.

• Affordable Destination to Study:

Even though UK might sounds like an expensive destination to study in, it is really not.

The scholarships and bursaries offered by the institutions make education affordable. One of the major reasons why UK is a cheap and affordable destination as compared to other countries is because it offers short duration courses (3 years of under-graduate program and 1year for a master's degree). Furthermore, student discount facilities are also provided through National Union of Students.

• Large Student Population:

UK from many other countries is the most attractive and favored study destination among students from across the globe. Every year the number of students entering the nation is increasing rapidly. Currently there are half a million international students studying in the UK. Studying along with people of different nations exposes one to a number of cultures, ideas and opinions which further expands the individual's capacity of understanding and sharpens one's thought processes.

• Work Opportunity While Studying:

Institutions of UK allow students to work part time for 20 hours a week during term time and full time during vacation. This enables students to gain hands on industry experience. Students can earn around £5 - £7 per hour i.e. approximately £375 - £525 per month during the term.

• Free Healthcare During the Course of Your Education / Program:

If the duration of your course is of more than 6 months, you are entitled to the NHS (National Health Service, a publicly funded national healthcare system). As per the NHS, if any medical emergency or for that matter even a requirement arises, one does not have to worry about the financial aspect. Under this service, everything related to your health is taking care of.

To provide you with more in-depth information about what UK has to offer to international students, we at Edwise International are bringing to you the International Education Exhibition from 23rd November - 3rd December, 2018 across various cities of India, where you can interact with the university representatives and get your questions answered.

Student Life In USA

November 2018

USA is the most powerful country in the world. It is developed and advanced in every sector. The education sector is no exception. It is growing exponentially day after day. Obvious reasons for these are many starting with high class education, existence of world's topmost universities, strong education system, stringent law system, security and safety, etc. USA was a home to approximately 1.23 million international students as of 2017. USA, therefore is the most attractive study destination for all the students wishing to study abroad. Before you prep to fly to the USA, you should know what life is like for international students out there.

• Culture:

America is a blender of various cultures. Being the most developed country, it is a home to people from different nationalities and backgrounds. Hence studying in the US enables international students to interact with people coming from completely different way of living. It teaches the students to co-operate and positively accept the cultures of all. Although the US allows one to promote their own culture, it has culture of its own. The Americans have strongly imbibed in them the concept of independence and individualism. They don’t like depending on anyone but take charge of their own lives. America is a free country believes in equality for all. They also a have an informal behaviour.

• Recreational Activities and Places to Visit:

People of America are social and love to interact with each other. For recreational purpose international students like other Americans, can indulge in activities like partying in the clubs, attend live events and fun festivals, hit the beach, enjoy outdoor sports, etc. There are many places that are worth visiting like the New Orleans, Louisiana, Washington, District of Columbia (D.C), Las Vegas, Nevada, The Grand Canyon, Arizona, New York City and many more.

• Housing / Accommodation:

There are a number of options available with the students which include On-Campus and Off-Campus housing, and homestays. Many universities offer on-campus housing facilities in areas within the universities which become like a small town on their own. US universities also have dormitories where students can reside. Here students can also meet other students and engage themselves in activities. For off-campus housing, the off-campus housing office will help you find an apartment. You can also ask your friends if they have any suggestions or can also take help of the real estate agents. If you are not comfortable to stay alone then the option of homestay is always open.

• Safety:

The USA is a safe nation to study in with its law and regulations well in place. Still, one should be alert and careful. One must have a vigilant eye capable enough to suspect the wrong activities happening around, and also take proper care of your belongings. Surround yourself with people who you can count as trustworthy. One most important thing one must do before leaving to study in the US is to a detailed research about the campus and residence life of the university you have opted for.

• Food / Cuisines:

American food has spread all over the world. USA is the land that serves one of the most delicious dishes in the world. Hence it is very less likely for one to go to sleep empty stomach.

• Expenses:

Without any doubt, quality education in the US is expensive but the investment one makes now is sure to give higher returns in the future. Nevertheless, plan your expenses strategically. Cut down the cost where it is possible. Do not carry large amount of cash and try to keep transactions as digital as possible.

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.

Why You Need To Study Abroad In Ireland ?

November 2018

Ireland is a part of European Union and is a very dynamic and modern country with 40% of its population below the age of 25 years. It is also one of the fastest growing economies in the world, with the population of 6.2 million.

Ireland, since the past twenty years has developed magnificiently in many sectors, be it agriculture, construction, pharmaceuticals, technology, etc. Its education sector is one such sector that has boomed at an unprecedented rate. It contributes majorly to the economy of the country.

The education system of Ireland is considered to be one of the best with all the Irish universities ranking in the top 5% globally. This is a clear result of the Irish governments investing large amount of resources into the education sector to improvise its quality year after year. The Irish education system has always believed in adopting the heuristic method of learning rather that the pedagogy method. This enbles the system to carve out individuals who not just posses strong theoritical knowledge but also powerful pragmatics.

An impregnable and concrete sytem of education is the most crucial point of attraction for all those international students who wish to pursue higher education from Ireland. An estimate of 200,000 students hop into Ireland to acquire higher education every year and the number just keeps increasing. Indian students form a major part of the estimate and mostly opt for subjects like literature, technology, communications, history, and environmental studies.

Ireland offers a vast variety of programs. A student can find almost any program he/she wishes to study. Although it offers all possible courses, it excels in providing rich quality qualification in the field of pharmaceuticals, chemicals and technology. Ireland is known for conducting quality scientific researches as well which is another reasons why students aspiring to pursue research in the field of their choice, travel to the country.

Scholarships are also offered directly by many instituitions, but are difficult to obtain. Most Irish Universities also provide Application fee waiver of upto Rs. 17000.

Visa in Ireland normally takes upto 4-5 weeks time and it is best to apply well in advance. A Letter of Acceptance from the college, confirming you have been accepted and enrolled on a course of full-time education, involving a minimum of 15 hours organised daytime study each week and evidence of financial support for tuition fees and living expenses is required. Along with the visa form you need to submit personal information, academic qualifications, financial strengths equaling to €10,000 for each year as living expenses.

Students here can work part-time while studying in order to earn money and gain industry experience. The ones who attend full time course are eligble to take up part time employment of upto 20 hours per week and 40 hours per week during college break or vacations.

After the completion of the course/program, a student, under the country's Third Level Graduate Scheme, is eligible to work for a period of 24 months for upto 40 hours per week. A student can easily convert Post Study Work Permit to Greencard to PR.

Ireland currently is buzzing with entreprenuerial activities. As per the GEM report of 2018, it is among the top-most nations in Europe that highly supports entrepreneurship. The country is a home to giant MNCs and hosts main offices of Google, Facebook, HP, Apple, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pfizer, GSK, Genzyme, etc for European operations.

• Employment Opportunities

There is no denying the fact that studying abroad is an expensive affair.
