Pathways to your professional success
Your future, your decisions
Students are often unsure about which field of study to choose, considering they have never committed to more intensely specialized forms of education before. It is completely normal not to know what the right place to start is, because people are often not taught much about what happens after they leave school. On top of that, you are expected to know where you want to go to study and to know exactly how to take charge of all of your finances whilst there, even though you may not have previously had to do this very frequently in your life. One of the greatest opportunities that you can get in your life is the chance to study abroad. You might have all of these worries and more on your mind right now. We want you to know that we are here to help you with all of your concerns about your education and everything to do with it, because we understand what it is like to struggle when you are uncertain about what the right choice is for you personally.
Then there is the question of whether you want to study in the country that you grew up in or leave in order to learn more about other parts of the world, as well as getting involved in an educational experience unlike any you have known so far. This is of course one of the hardest choices you may have had to make so far, but it also yields the most qualification granting experiences. Stand out from your pears and improve your market worth by educating yourself abroad and learning the most important practical skills you will need for the rest of your life.
We do not want you to worry too much. That is why we want to let you know about a few things that can help you get an idea about where to begin your planning: Not every university in the USA and Canada requires you to have a TOEFL or IELTS certificate in order to enroll. Many of our partners accept our level 5 or 6 course completion certificates. This means that you will not need to take a language exam, depending which institution(s) you choose to apply for. It is necessary to take language exams or to have certification of the appropriate language skills in order to enter a university in Europe. If you want to keep your choices open in regards to which university you go for, rest assured that the IELTS, TOEFL, Test DAF or DELE test will give you a greater overall flexibility to pick your favorite from the large range of options.
Studying abroad
Advantages of studying abroad:
• Certificates and degrees are proof of distinctive job qualifications
• Studying whilst living in a different country is easier than trying to migrate without studying
• It is possible to transfer the credits to different institutions' grading systems, depending on the type of certification achieved
• Many colleges and universities offer the possibility of getting a job alongside your studies
