Pursuing higher education abroad? The complete list of prerequisites.

Pursuing higher education abroad is a wholly new experience for any candidate. And what do you do before taking the plunge? Yes, research thoroughly.  It is crucial to consider all the merits and demerits of higher education in a country. The process could be a bit long drawn, but worry not, as our career consultants are here to answer you questions and guides you to make the right decision for your career.

The course

Firstly, one has to identify the course of preference by listing their career interests and aspirations.

One has to be mindful of the employment opportunities and the long term benefits of the course in the home country and the migrating country as well.

The scope prerequisite

Understanding the prospective industries that could provide employment opportunities once the program is completed. For e.g., Ireland offers data science courses and the country also boasts many companies’ headquarters. Thus, Ireland could be a proper destination for you to study Data Science. Similarly, New Zealand is popular for Civil Engineering and there is a lot of demand qualified civil engineers in the country, with the development of construction projects across the country. 

One should also be aware of the opportunities back in India for all these courses.

Entry requirements

One should always choose the right consultant (and of course, do their research) to study the entry requirements for the courses available in their desired destination. Does it offer a full course/degree at your level or is it a diploma? Candidates must be aware of their preference to select the course accordingly. For instance, several universities might offer a PG diploma and not a Master’s degree. Similarly, the UK offers two kinds of master’s – taught and research.

Some FAQs

  • The tests that one should take apart from the usual English proficiency test
  • The marks that are required to apply
  • Would you need work experience for a particular course? Or would work experience be an additional point for your candidature?

The cost of studying and living abroad is as imperative as choosing the course and doing ground work. The overall expenses involved in studying at a particular destination will be available with your career consultant at Echoes Global Education. We also help you in calculating your costs, by considering supplementary expenses such as accommodation, utilities, transportation, etc. The duration of course will also have a major impact on your overall cost of studying abroad.

Our educational consultants can also find out if there are any scholarships available to study in your desired destination. Scholarships can help decrease the overall cost of your course considerably. Check if you’ll also be able to work part-time while studying so you can manage your daily expenses easily and also gain some professional experience. Of course, part time jobs also play a role in bringing down the costs as students can earn while studying.
