How to Pick Your University Abroad in 2021

Deciding on which Bachelor’s or Master’s degree to opt for especially when having too many options to think of, has always been a complicated one. The major obstacle standing between you and your desired study programme abroad is having to pick it from the others.

You have to begin the process of deciding a place soon. The following are the major criterias to look for when deciding your future university to study abroad:

#1 Select your desired discipline

You always know about the course you want to study and you have to choose the right place that provides the training you want. You may find a lot of places that offer interesting interdisciplinary Bachelor’s or Master’s programmes, or specialisations you have not thought of. Yet on the basis of getting a job after graduation, you need to have a look at some of the most popular disciplines that are available in top destinations, like:

  • Study Finance in France
  • Economics in Germany
  • Public Health in the UK
  • Marketing in Spain
  • Health Sciences in the US

#2 Decide where you’d like to study

You would have already thought about an ideal destination that you prefer to move and study. Even if you aren’t sure about where to start from, you can always do some research, check countries and cities having the most or all the desired traits, that includes the type of study programme, the facilities, the transport, living cost, or weather etc.

If one of your key criterias is geography, you should narrow it down using other major factors, including career opportunities, financial options or application requirements. You can always begin with:

  • Student cities in Asia
  • Student cities in North America
  • Student cities in the UK

#3 Use the best search engines for international degrees

As there are some major factors to consider (and many small ones) while making a decision on your desired university to enroll in, you have to concentrate on the ideal option for what you wish for. To overcome this lengthy and frustrating process you can rely on a well-informed professional platform for higher education.

#4 Check the International University Rankings

Another efficient way to decide is to ask “Which are the best universities?”, but things ain’t quite easy. There are various types of ranking systems, put forth by several organizations that use different measures to rank their top university lists.

They may consider academic and educational performance or the teaching environment and the internationality of the institution. The major ranking systems that outline the competition between top universities across the world are:

  • Times Higher Education World University Rankings
  • Shanghai University Academic Ranking of World Universities
  • QS World University Rankings
  • S. News Global Universities Rankings

There are also many non-official rankings such as the one on Wikipedia which reflects the perceived impact and reputation of these institutions, among potential students.

#5 Research the most affordable degrees

It is obvious that studying abroad can be expensive. Hence you have to also focus on the overall fee structure of the study programmes available. This includes the tuition fees. There are some programmes that demand minimum or no tuition fees, and also few institutions that will ensure you the best quality and most reputable degree you can find for a substantial amount of money.

You can always consider the following places:

  • Tuition fees and living costs in Denmark
  • Tuition fees and living costs in the Netherlands
  • Tuition fees and living costs in the USA
  • Tuition fees and living costs in Australia

#6 Find out others experience on studying abroad

If you still have doubts on opting for study programmes and universities, you can always check with the previous international students who were in a similar position. It may be helpful for you to understand how they dealt with common cultural shocks, misconceptions, and challenges. They can give you the needed tips and advice.

Client Testimonial

MBBS Abroad is a big decision and your success depends upon the honesty of your consultant. It is a long process starting from choosing the right college to reaching there at college door step and finally studying there for next 5-6 years. You are in a new country without many old friends. We were sure to approach a consultant who is based out of our district only so that not only during admission but for next 6 years, we can have smooth interactions. So, we approached GKWorks as they have a branch in Saharanpur. As we anticipated, there are lot of things to be done during admission process that goes for 3-4 months. At every step, it was useful for us to have our consultant who was only 20 minutes’ drive from our home. We were able to discuss everything face to face any day and thus were able to have easy process.
