Tips for Studying Abroad

Things you should understand for studying abroad!

Tip: 1
Choose the University that Suits You Best
There's no such thing as the 'best' university. Look for the university that fits your preference instead.
Tip: 2
Rankings Are Not the Most Important Factor
Rankings do carry weight but they are not the most important factor. Every institution has unique programs and different emphasis.
Tip: 3
Choose the Course You Are Truly Interested In
Ask yourself. Which industry attracts you? Do you want to be in that industry? Which role do you want to play? Listen to yourself. If you're still lost, we are here to help.
Tip: 4
University Facilities Are Important
Some universities have collaboration with the industry to equip the future force with the latest technology, tools & equipment. This adds advantages to your overall learning experience.
Tip: 5
Things to Be Aware Of (Part 1)
Besides course structure and duration, do look into opportunities, such as internship, industrial collaborations or career placement opportunities. This helps to enhance your experience and personal network before graduation.
Tip: 6
Things to Be Aware Of (Part 2)
Look at the recognition body. For professional courses, it's best to have the course recognised by your home country.
Tip: 7
Message for Undergraduate Seekers
Interdisciplinary is the recent trend. Industries are requiring more multi-vast skillsets. Your education will give you a set of knowledge to begin, but crossing profession will give you competitive advantages to shine among the others.
Tip: 8
Message for Master Students
Upon completion of Master study in Australia, students are entitled for a 2 (+1) years working opportunity in Australia. This will help to improve your profile (resume).
Tip: 9
