UK: Think Big, Dream Big

February 2019

UK is a land where dreams of many have come true. It is among the top 5 popular study destinations in the world. Studying in the UK offers students the opportunity to be taught by world renowned academics. The teaching and studying methodology here builds upon one's confidence and thrives on a candidate's existing skill set. UK institutions are valued and recognised across the globe, and have consistently ranked amongst the best in the world.

Shorter Course Programs

UK's impressive list of available programs and quality education makes it a popular choice for international candidates. Every student here is sure to find the program/course of his/her choice. In addition to this, the course programs offered by the universities in the UK tend to be shorter than most other countries, thereby reducing overall tuition costs and living expenses of those who choose to pursue a degree here. Thus, education in the UK is also quiet affordable than most other countries.

Develop Language Skills

The father of English language, William Shakespeare hails from this land. This is strongly indicative of UK being rich in its language. Studying in the UK develops excellent language skills. One of the greatest benefits is the exposure to an array of English accents and dialects. Socialising with the locals encourages students and provides them with consolidation on what they've been learning outside of the classroom.

Multiculturism

UK plays home to innumerable people coming from different backgrounds and nationalities. UK's long and successful history of welcoming students from all over the world makes it an ideal place for candidates from different backgrounds. This multicultural atmosphere exhibits creativity in a candidate, makes the newbies comfortable and allows one to keep an open mind.

Scholarships and Bursaries

Scholarships and bursaries are primary sources of funding for students looking to pursue an international degree. Most UK institutes offer merit based scholarships to international students based on their academic success and extra-curricular activities. However, in order to apply for a scholarship, one needs to first gain acceptance to a study program.

Work Opportunities

With the increase in competition in today's job markets, acquiring pre-eminent skills is of utmost importance. UK's large economy assists students in defining their career choices. Candidates are permitted to work for 20 hours per week during the term and full time during the holidays.

India and Overseas Education

February 2019

As per the UNESCO’s Institute of Statistics, the number of Indian students studying abroad is approximately above 3, 00,000. India is the second largest source of international students after China. Apart from USA, UK, and Canada, Indian students are now increasingly choosing to study in Australia, New Zealand, France and Germany as well. The most applied for courses include Business Management and Engineering which is then followed by Computer Science and IT.

India has seen an immense increase in the number of students flying abroad to pursue higher education in the recent years. The reasons for this are varied and differ from person to person.

Innumerable Options To Study Abroad Rather than In India:

One of the major reasons why Indian students choose to study abroad is because they fail to find a course/program that best suits their interest back here in India. There are many courses which aren’t available in the country. However, there are nth number of courses and programs available abroad. Every Indian student is sure to find a course of his/her choice in different countries. This is why Indian students search for the course available outside of India.

Top Quality Education:

As some of the best and top ranking universities of the world known for providing high quality education are situated outside the nation, students aspire to study abroad. Most of the universities abroad offer rich, in-depth knowledge to its students making them career ready. Such universities churn out intellects and opens up brighter avenues for them. This is one of the many crucial reasons why Indian students choose to study abroad.

Global Exposure:

Studying abroad enables students to meet new people from different backgrounds providing exposure to the Indian students. Gaining exposure is very important for an overall personality development. It helps students in broadening their vision and mind set. By studying abroad, Indian students will be able to study and understand the global scenario from various perspectives. As many students belonging to different nationalities meet each other in a foreign land, exchange of ideas, opinions, and culture takes place. Global exposure also exposes students to ample amount of opportunities.

High Employment Prospects:

Achieving a degree from abroad not just increases but boosts your job and career prospects to greater heights thereby providing higher salaries. Recruiters these days are willing to appoint those holding rich educational qualification. Your international degree thus has immense potential in adding high value and weightage to your resume which in turn increases job prospects. This is another reason why studying abroad can be beneficial.

Working and Living Abroad:

Another reason why Indian students today are choosing to study abroad is to gain international work experience. Some countries enable their international students to work for a period ranging from 1-3 years to gain hands on industry work experience after the completion of their course. For this though, students must make sure they comply with the visa rules of the particular countries they are studying in. Many a times it so happens that these Indian students decide to stay back in the country and live there after acquiring the PR (Permanent Residency) Visa.

Intensive Research Opportunities:

Research opportunities are abundant in foreign countries. Those wanting to study subjects that involve carrying out research, must definitely go abroad to study as the universities provide the apt infrastructure such as lab facilities, better prospects and also the faculty of these international universities provides immense support and assistance to its students.

Self-Growth and Development:

Above all, studying abroad in a foreign land fosters one’s personal development. By meeting new people, studying in a new environment, adopting ethics, values and culture of new people and place, working and adapting to a complete new atmosphere, a person is bound to grow and develop. Studying abroad boosts one’s confidence, makes one not just educated but also literate, teaches one to groom and conduct self in competitive and professional spaces.

Importance of Active Participation in Class

February 2019

As an international student, trying to adapt to new surroundings, new teaching and studying methods, new class environment, new people, etc. can become quiet daunting. Nevertheless, until and unless you don’t mix around and interact with people, you won’t be able to adapt. Most of the interaction and bonding takes place in the college, during classes and in the campus. Make sure to make the most of it. 

Class participation, thus is an important aspect of adapting to the new lifestyle. When students speak up in class, they learn to express their ideas in a way that others can understand. When they ask questions, they learn how to obtain information to enhance their own understanding of a topic.

Just as speaking in front of a group doesn't come easily to many adults; similarly, speaking up in class is a struggle for many students. That struggle might manifest itself in the classroom in a variety of ways -- not volunteering to answer questions, not asking for help, not speaking up in small-group activities, even not talking in class at all.

However, taking active part in the class is of utmost importance. Major reasons to support the mentioned statement are as follows

1.To Develop Confidence In Self:

Confidence is the most important accessory one should wear. This is why one should participate in the class. It helps develop confidence in self. Most of the students have the fear of speaking in a group or before people. This fear goes ignored and they never really overcome it. Having the quality of being able to speak confidently before a group of people, holds immense importance when you enter the real world. For this, students push themselves and learn to speak up in class as this is the right place and time to overcome your fear. When you start actively participating, you develop a sense of confidence that guarantees you a comfort of speaking before people in the near future.

2.Increase Attention Span:

Sitting through long lectures can get monotonous. Listening to one person talk for hours can lead to one losing interest. It so happens that the students paying attention in the class. This is the reason why students must participate and interact with the professor as well as the classmates in order to keep the environment of the class active. When students raise doubts, discuss and interact, the lecture doesn’t get monotonous and help students in focusing more thereby increasing the attention span.

3.To Keep One Engaged:

Even if a question gets raised in the class, it piques everyone’s interest. This helps the students to stay engaged. It propels students to think about the question asked, its possible answers, connect dots, etc. This leads to the development of thinking and analytical skills of students. Thus participating in class not only keeps you engaged but also the rest of the classmates.

4.To Be Able To Openly Put Forth Opinions:

When you participate in the class and start paying attention, by default you start thinking and analysing about what is being told to you and taught. You start putting your own thoughts into what is being taught. When you feel that your thoughts differ from that of the professor or fellow mates, you feel the need to express your opinions. In this contemporary world, having an opinion of your own is absolutely necessary to be able to survive in a competitive industry and not be gullible. Taking active part in the class prepares you to openly and fearlessly express your opinions.

5.Wide Exchange Of Ideas:

Raising questions and sharing thoughts with each other generates various ideas. Listening to and sharing your own thoughts with classmates helps in understanding how various individuals think. It also enables exchanging of interesting facts, information and knowledge that can help in the future.

Student Testimonials:

I had a great experience with Edwise and its counselor who explained to me everything in an easy subtle way which made my admission a success.

Your US Visa Acquisition Checklist

February 2019

Every country has its own rules regarding the issue of visas and their duration. Every year thousands of students apply to American universities in the hope of getting a chance to get an entry into this technologically advanced country. The first step towards your goal is the application to American universities and if you are lucky you’ll get into one or two. But that’s not all. The biggest challenge is getting an American visa. A visa is your license to stay and study in America.

The first step is to find out your visa type. To study in America there are two type of student visas: F1 and M1. F1 visa is the most common type of student visa and is issued to students pursuing any kind of academic degree in America. M1 visa is issued to those who would be in America for non-academic or vocational study or trainings. Every visa type has its own application guidelines and qualification. Find the one that suits you the best and apply for student visa.

You should have the following documents ready when you apply for student visa:

• Passport that would be valid for your entire stay in the USA


• Financial documents demonstrating your ability to fund your studies and life in USA


• In case you have availed a loan, keep the loan sanction letter ready. Documents related to scholarships or tuition fee waivers (if applicable)


• Documents that show strong financial, social or family ties to your home country. (This helps to assure that you would be returning to your home country after your studies in USA)


• All the original bank statements along with their photocopies


• TOEFL/IELTS language certificates


• Marksheets of all the previous examinations that you’ve taken along with their photocopies

Once you know the type of visa that you wish to apply for, you’ll have to fill the visa application form called DS-160. Go through the guidelines provided for filling up the form. All the information entered in the visa application form should be accurate. Make sure you have all the supporting documents that prove the accuracy of the information entered on the form. Once you submit the form you would not be allowed to make any changes to it, so see to it that you get everything right on the first go.

You are now set to schedule an appointment for visa interview. You have to use the same login details that you used while paying the application fee. On the dashboard you’ll find an option to Schedule Appointment. Make sure to schedule the appointment in the same city where you have filled your form. Two appointments have to be made: one with the Visa Application Center and the other one for a visa interview at the American Embassy or Consulate. At the Visa Application center your fingerprints and photo would be added to their system. You will require your passport, the date you paid your application fee and the ten digit bar code that you’ll receive along with the DS-160 Form. These are few of the easy ways to get the US Visas as the earliest.

Once you decide on a university, connecting yourself with the alumni will provide you with a deeper insight about the university, its faculty, study methods, syllabus (if your choice of program matches with that of the alumni), extra-curricular activities, etc. This helps you in preparing yourself to study in the university as you get a holistic understanding of the student life in the university and also how the specific university functions through an alumnus himself/herself.

Job Opportunities Available:

As the alumni spend more than a year studying abroad, they gain not just information about the job opportunities available but also the experience of working on a foreign land. Due to this experience gained, they are in a position to narrate to you clearly and in detail about how you can search and apply for jobs, which jobs can you apply for and where, how will it help, how much will you earn, and most importantly what it is like to work and earn in an unknown destination. Thinking one step further, if you happen to get into the same country and university, previously created connection with the alumni might also help you in finding and securing a job.

Basic Understanding of Conducting Yourself in a Foreign Environment:

Interacting with the alumni will also help you gain the basic knowledge and trivia about the destination you plan to study in like the local culture, language, common food, stores to buy regular requirements from, sources to collect notes and buy books from, etc. Additionally, they also help you understand the rules and regulation of the country/city and the basic ethics and values that you might be required to follow.

Learn from Their Mistakes:

Though there are many other ways to carry out your research and find out about the universities and the country you decide to study in, you must always consider connecting and talking with the alumni to get a closer all round perspective of the student life abroad.

We at Edwise also enable our students to meet our alumni and give them a chance to interact with them during the pre-departure event. Here the alumni come forward to help the next batch of students flying abroad and throw light on various topics discussed above.
