What is studying abroad?

There’s a big difference between learning a skill from just anyone, and learning it from the masters. Learning a skill abroad from the masters is not only more efficient, it’s also more memorable so that skill will stick with you for years to come! Our study trips around the globe involve learning from people where that skill is a part of their culture. Whether it’s cooking or learning a new language, studying abroad will help broaden your perspectives and your mind as you’ll adopt new learning styles, meet people from all backgrounds, become more independent, and maybe even discover hidden talents that you wouldn’t try at home. You’re not just learning a skill, you’re also learning a lifestyle much foreign from your own.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I study abroad?

Studying abroad offers a life-changing experience that goes beyond academics. It allows you to immerse yourself in a new culture, develop a global perspective, and gain a deeper understanding of the world. Whether it's making friends from different backgrounds, learning a new language, or building your independence, studying abroad fosters personal growth in ways a traditional education can't. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to enhance your CV, giving you an edge in the global job market.

Where should I study abroad?

Choosing where to study abroad depends on your academic goals, cultural interests, and career plans. If you’re interested in business or technology, countries like the US and the UK are home to world-renowned universities. For those passionate about arts and culture, Italy or France offers a rich historical backdrop. Meanwhile, Australia and New Zealand are perfect for students looking to balance academics with outdoor adventures. The best location is where you’ll thrive academically while enjoying the local culture.

How long can I study abroad for?

The duration of your study abroad experience can vary greatly. You could enrol in a semester or year-long programme or even pursue your full degree at an international university. Some students opt for short-term courses, lasting from a few weeks to a summer term, while others might spend several years abroad completing undergraduate or postgraduate degrees. The length of your stay will depend on the programme you choose and the academic credits you want to earn.

What type of study options are available abroad?

Studying abroad offers a wide range of academic options. You can enrol in exchange programmes, where you spend a semester or a year at a partner university. Alternatively, you can complete an entire degree abroad, from undergraduate to postgraduate courses. There are also short-term programmes, summer schools, internships, or language immersion courses that focus on enhancing specific skills. Whether you’re looking for a degree or a unique learning experience, there’s a study option to suit your needs.

How does studying abroad work?

Studying abroad typically involves selecting a university or programme that aligns with your academic goals. Once accepted, you’ll work with both your home institution (if applicable) and the foreign university to transfer credits and ensure a smooth transition. You’ll also need to arrange accommodation, apply for a student visa, and make travel plans. Throughout your studies, you’ll attend classes just like any other student, but with the added excitement of exploring a new culture and environment.

How much does studying abroad cost?

The cost of studying abroad varies depending on the country, institution, and duration of your stay. Tuition fees can range from EUR 3,000 to 18,000 per year, while living expenses will depend on the city and lifestyle. European countries often have lower tuition costs compared to places like the US or Australia. Additionally, many countries offer scholarships or financial aid to international students, which can help offset the expenses. It’s important to budget for other costs such as travel, visas, and insurance.

What do I need to do if I want to study abroad?

To study abroad, start by researching programmes or universities that fit your academic goals and interests. Once you find the right fit, submit your application and ensure you meet any language proficiency requirements. After acceptance, you’ll need to organise your student visa, accommodation, and travel arrangements. It’s also a good idea to check if your home institution offers credit transfers so your studies abroad count towards your degree. Don’t forget to arrange health insurance and budget for living expenses.

What are the best countries to study abroad?

The best countries to study abroad vary based on your field of study and personal preferences. The US, UK, and Canada are popular for their prestigious universities and diverse course offerings. Australia and New Zealand are known for their high-quality education and vibrant student life. For those interested in the arts, history, and culture, studying in Italy, France, or Spain offers an enriching experience. Each country has its unique advantages, so it’s essential to choose one that aligns with your academic and lifestyle goals.
