1. What students should know
about studying abroad?
Where should I study?
When selecting a country for further studies,
several factors play a deciding role. If you have
family and/or friends in that country, the job
opportunities, the costs associated with tuition and
living, ease of application process, safety and
security, the lifestyle you would like to have, etc.
Some of the most popular education destinations

2. include Australia, the United States, United
Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand. Ireland,
Germany, France and Switzerland for subjects like
engineering, technology, business and hospitality.
Some emerging study destinations which are
cheaper due to proximity include Singapore and
Dubai.
Should I apply for undergraduate or
postgraduate?
It is highly recommended you study abroad as an
undergraduate. Such a degree provides early
exposure to high quality teaching, world-class
facilities and further specialisations. However,
consider expenses related to a longer study
duration and the ability to live independently so
young.
When should I start applying?
Your application to study abroad should start 12-18

3. months in advance so that you have time to do
in-depth research on the course and the country of
your choosing. Parents who want to send their
children abroad also need to think of planning
their finances.
What are the steps involved?
Shortlist the countries and the universities you’d
want to apply to. Based on the country’s or the
institution’s requirements, you may need to appear
for additional examinations (SAT, for UG studies in
the US.) You will need to submit your application
with marksheets, transcripts, Statement of Purpose,
essays, recommendation letters, work experience
and extracurricular certificates if applicable. You
can complete your visa formalities once you have
received the letter from your university. Visa
application may include partial payment of your
tuition fees and undertaking a medical check-up.
Need I learn a foreign language?

4. A foreign language may be handy but is not
necessary unless required by the course selected.
Can I work while studying?
You may work part-time for up to 20 hours a week
on-campus, or off-campus as specified by the
country and full time in vacations.
Are there campus placements?
Most international universities support campus
placements through bi-annual/annual fairs and
have their own placement cells. International
students can apply for a work permit or a
residency visa that allows them to work after their
course is over.
What are the available accomodation options?
International students can choose from
on-campus accomidation, rented apartments or

5. paying guest options. You can select catered or
self-catered accommodation with what shared
facilities you are okay with (common room,
bathroom, kitchen etc.) Living on-campus is
usually very convenient and specifically
recommended to undergraduate students who
may need additional support. However, this can be
expensive as compared to living in rented
apartments where costs will be shared by all
roommates.
