Are you thinking of Studying Abroad?

You started thinking of moving to another country for studying and searching which country would be great for your future goals and from where you will get most benefits. Here are some steps or ideas which help you to decide.

1.       First think about what your future goals are and what you want to achieve in your life or where you want to be. Why you are thinking of going to another country for studies. What it is that you think you cannot achieve in your home country.

2.       After knowing the answer of the first step also discuss the same point with your family or your loved ones, maybe they have some ideas or somethings that they know on how you can achieve the same thing in your country.

3.       So now you finalized that you want to go study abroad. According to your previous stream or if you have anything different in your mind to pursue, search for good colleges and universities in that field and broaden your search to the whole world and do not only look at 3-4 top countries.

4.       Now you selected countries where you want to go for studies, maybe it will be USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe, or any other country. Select the best 2 countries and minimum 5-6 colleges/universities in those countries which are suitable and match all your requirements and needs.

5.       Ask your family to support you financially, maybe they already have savings for studies, or you can check for education loans with the banking institutions. While discussing educational loans ask about both the categories of loans.

·       Secured Loans – In this category we must show some collateral where we must show some asset or property and is pledged as security to the lender by the borrower against the borrowed amount.

·       Unsecured Loans – This category does not require you to pledge any security or collateral. Instead of relying on borrowers’ collateral, it is purely given based on student’s creditworthiness and employability potential.

6.       So now you know all the basic details and ready to apply to your selected Universities or colleges. Now you can do everything on your own or get help from a qualified and trustworthy consultant, there are many. After that start collecting your documents to apply.

 

What are the documents you need to apply?

1.       1. Passport Copy (Valid for at least 1 year from the date you applied or your whole course duration)

2.       2. All Academic documents

3.       3. English Proficiency Test (IELTS/TOEFL/Pearson PTE/Duolingo)

4.       4. Resume (with contact no. and email id)

5.       5. Letter of Recommendations – 3 (from academic and work institutions)

6.       6. Statement of Purpose (tell your story and thoughts about why you want to study at selected institutions)

7.       7. Gap justification documents (if you have any gap)

8.       8. Financials – Savings Account, FD, or Education Loans (any)

Now you are ready to apply in your selected Universities and Colleges!!

 

Positive Decision arrived!!

After receiving an offer letter from your preferred institution ask them or your consultant about further process. Now is the part where you must show your financial documents (which we discussed in the above part) to show that you are able to pay the tuition fees and living expenses for your entire duration of studies. After this step the institution will provide you further documents to apply for student visa in the selected country.

Prepare the documents you need at the embassy of that country.

Every country has different criteria to apply for student visa. You must ask your consultant about the documents you need or if you are doing on your own then you can ask your institution or search for resources on google (online).

Now you applied for student visa.

As soon as you receive a positive outcome, you need to book the tickets and accommodation where you live in that country, or many institutions provide housing and for that you need to consult your academics advisor of the institution. Some universities also provide airport pick-up services to international students. Please ask your academic advisor or your consultant for all the help, do not think or feel shy about it.

Now you are ready to fly high and achieve your dreams and shine in the whole world!!🚀
