Studying abroad is an exciting and life-changing experience. It can open up a world of possibilities, from discovering new cultures to expanding your educational and career opportunities. But with so many different countries and universities to choose from, how do you know which destination is right for you?

You should think about the following question when deciding where to study:

  • What language do you want to study?
  • How difficult will it be to get a visa?
  • What are the university entry requirements?
  • Is the university suitable for the course you wish to study?
  • What is the cost of living and education?
  • Are there any employment opportunities after study?
  • Will you be able to adjust to the culture of the country or not?

Researching potential destinations

The first step in the process of choosing a study abroad destination is to research all the available options. This is a very important step even if you have a country in mind already. We would suggest keeping your option open because what is best in one country can be average in another. What we mean to say is that some countries are renowned around the world for their STEM program while some are renowned for their arts and humanities programs. So, it is important that you choose the country that is popular in the course you want to study. We will list down some countries that students prefer for pursuing higher education.

Now that you have an idea of what different countries are famous for, there are some factors you should consider before choosing the study abroad destination for yourself

choose right destination for study abroad

1. What course do you want to pursue?

Your academic goals should be the main factor in determining where you decide to pursue your study abroad experience. Now comes the part where you have to research. Consider what type, of course, you wish to take, the difficulty of the courses and the quality of academic resources available in the country. Check the modules, program and duration for your subject. And while you are in it, ensure to explore the employment prospects and long-term benefits of the course.

After that check the destination that is famous for the course you have chosen. For example, if you have chosen computer science as the course you want to pursue then the USA will have a plethora of options for you as it is the home to tech hubs. Or if you are considering an engineering course, then Germany is one of the best study-abroad destinations for you.

2. University Entry Requirements

The entry requirements for your chosen program will be different in different countries. So, check for the academic scores that are required or if they are asking for prior work experience. What are the English language requirements or if they ask for additional tests such as GMAT, GRE or SAT? 

3. Assessing the Cost of Living and Expenses

The cost of studying abroad varies from country to country. It is important to research the cost of living in the country, as well as tuition and other fees and expenses such as health services and insurance. Compare the tuition fees of the universities you are considering as well as the cost of the countries those universities are situated in. You may also want to consider the cost of visas and tickets. For instance, if finance is an issue you can look into different aids and scholarships or you can apply to public universities in Germany as they are free for both national and international students.

4. Considering the Culture and Language 

Think about the culture and language of the country you are considering. If you are considering a country where English is not the primary language, let’s take Germany. For example, there are several English Taught programs but many natives don’t speak English so knowing a little German will help you feel more at home in a foreign country. Therefore, make sure to research the language and learn enough so that you can survive there. 

If you are choosing an English-speaking destination, you will probably be interested in the USA, UK, Australia and Canada. Each country is regarded as a student’s favourite and is home to top-ranking universities.

Also, it is important to consider what you would like to achieve personally during your study abroad experience. Evaluate what type of cultural experience and the type of environment you would like to be in, and consider the cultural norms and traditions of the country. 

5. Reviewing the Safety and Security of the Destination

Fourth, consider the safety and security of the country you choose to study in. Different countries have different levels of safety, so it is important to research the country’s political and social climate as well as its laws and regulations before making a final decision. For example, Canada has a crime rate of 1.68 and is deemed one of the safest countries in the world, so if safety and security are your priority (and they should be) then choosing Canada will be the best option for you. 

6. Determining the Availability of Support Services for International Student

It can be immensely challenging living and studying in a country that has a different academic environment, language and culture. However, many countries have laws regarding providing support services to international students to help them study and adapt to their new home. These services are designed to make the study abroad experience as easy and enjoyable as possible, from application to all the way through graduation. And as you will probably be needing help so it’s better if you check if the university you are wanting to apply to has international student support. 

Study Abroad Destination

7. Does your Destination offer Employment Opportunities?

The course you have chosen should help you grow professionally and provide you with various employment opportunities before and after graduation. Consider a study abroad destination that offers multiple employment opportunities for your respective course. For example, if you are someone who is going for a master’s in Computer Science, then the US has endless avenues as it is known as the home of tech hubs.

8. Check the Visa Regulations

Once you have narrowed down your options based on the above-listed factors it is time to consider the factors that are out of your control. One such factor is student visas. It is an important document that you can not leave your home without. Visa regulation varies from country to country, depending on your citizenship and your intended course of study. you might want to choose a country that has a cheap and straightforward process or you can pay a little extra to study in the country you really want to live and study in.

If that is what you want, you will need to include the cost of a visa in your budget and consider the time schedule as well. If you require help with the visa process, our consultant can help understand it with ease.

Conclusion

Choosing the right destination for studying abroad is an important decision. It’s important to consider all of the factors mentioned above before making a final decision. With careful research and an open mind, you’ll be able to find the perfect destination to pursue your academic dreams. And if you are still confused about which destination will be the best for you, you can always turn to Edvise Hub for help.
