Applying to study abroad has never been this easy, just follow the steps mentioned below and you will not have to spend huge agent fees.
Make a List
You first have to search the universities and your preferred courses and make a list. Some of the countries to go for are Italy, France, Hungary, Netherlands, Malaysia, UK, USA, and Canada. These countries not only offer fully funded scholarships but also provide multiple assistance options.
You must consider the housing rent, living costs per month, and job opportunities in your selected countries as well.
Read out the Requirements
Now open the university’s website and read the eligibility criteria and documents required. This is the most crucial stage as fulfilling the documents required increases your admission chances. The most common requirements are letter of motivation, recommendation letters, English proficiency certificate / test (IELTS), ID card/passport, and latest diploma/degree.
Start preparing for IELTS or get English proficiency from your university. Letter of motivation includes answering questions like why you want to study this program and your motivation behind it. Start writing yours and get them reviewed by a senior or teacher.
Fill Online Application
Once you have completed all the requirements, you have to start completing the online application form which just takes 20 – 30 minutes. Some universities also have application fees. Send your application and wait to hear back from the university within 2 weeks.
Finance planning
Your next task is to plan finances. If you are applying for a scholarship, you do not have to worry about finances. However, self-funded students must start planning for bank statements. You can also search for regional scholarships on the university’s website.
Prepare for the interviews
You have to prepare for the interviews which involve questions about your motivation to study the specific programme and your educational background.
Visa process
When you receive acceptance from the university and have fulfilled all the related requirements, start your visa process. Check out all the requirements and start your student visa process.
It takes time and firm determination to follow these steps, but once done you will be studying in an advanced international environment and that too without spending huge agents’ fees.
