Study overseas is all about decisions. The right ones, that is.
When you begin exploring options for study in abroad after 12th, time taken for proper research always pays in the long run.
To begin with, there are some basic criteria that you must have perfect clarity on.
Why do I want to study abroad?
At times, even if the same course is available in our home country, we would rather study overseas instead.
We can have an enriched experience by studying in a different culture. With access to better quality of education, we can greatly expand our professional network, becoming global citizens in the process.
What should I study abroad?
This requires careful thought.
When choosing the course for overseas enrollment, you must try and strike a balance between your tools and resources on one hand, and your passion on the other.
At times, students end up taking courses that their friends might have opted for, regretting the decision later on when they realize that they lack the aptitude for the same.
Also, be very clear as to your ultimate aim in studying abroad. If you have Permanent Residency on your mind, it is better to choose courses that qualify you for a PR later on.
Australia lets you apply for a post-study work visa after the successful completion of your studies. You can Apply for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) which comes under the Post-Study Work stream.
If getting an Australian PR eventually is on your mind, there are certain courses that can greatly enhance your prospects for the same. Courses that can help you with getting Australian PR include – Engineering, Accountancy, Education and Teaching, Nursing, as well as Computer and Information Technology (IT).
In a major boost to Indians students planning on studying and working in the U.K. post-study, the U.K. has announced a 2-years’ Post-Study work visa for international students on September 11, 2019.
Once you are perfectly clear on the ‘what’, it is time to explore the ‘where’.
