Decide Your Subject Based on your previous education and your recent experience, you should choose a line that suits your interest best. It could be a general degree or a specialized one. Also, make sure the subject aligns with what you want to pursue in the future and should also provide you with usable skills.
Be True to Your Passion
It is utmost essential that you select a foreign university or study something that you are completely sure about and have the will and desire to successfully complete it.
- You should be invested in studying that subject abroad with all your heart and soul.
Attend Education Fairs and University Open Days
Once you have decided on your requirements and have done substantial research you should be able to formulate either a longlist or a shortlist of universities.
- You can also attend University open days where you can go around the university and speak with the people inside to learn more.
Interact with Students and Alumni
This can be done both online and offline
- Online you can use platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, StudentRoom, etc.
- Offline you can visit the university’s international office and connect with the alumni or the country representative to know more
Conduct extensive research
Before finalizing the university, you should thoroughly research it via all sources and means available like the internet, brochures, international offices or, if possible, even by visiting the university.
- This not only allows you to understand your choice better but also to understand other factors like university costs, location, ranking, teaching quality and so on.
Identify Your Personal Requirements
Personal requirements could be anything from university ranking, geography, country, financial options, tuition fees, scholarships, living costs, application requirements or placement opportunities. Find out and shortlist these requirements one by one with help of the research you will conduct to arrive at your desired list of universities.
