With education being global now, it becomes also necessary that students can go across the globe to pursue a course of their choice. In this article I have discussed some questions to help students willing to study abroad. I hope students and their parents will be helped by this article.

(Q: 1)What are the documents required for the application process?

Answer: The following documents need to be ready to start with the application process

• The completed application form (contact us for the form) 
• Your 10th, 12th (for Bachelors courses) + graduation mark sheets (for post graduate courses) 
• Two academic reference letters

Or 
• One academic reference letter and one employment reference letter 
• Work Experience certificate (if required) 
• A Statement of Purpose (SOP)

(Q: 2)When is the right time for submitting the Application?

Answer: The foreign admission process is lengthy. For UK admissions send the application at least 3-4 months prior to the intake date. For admissions in Australia send the application at least 6 months prior to the intake date. If you send your documents well before the deadlines, it can only benefit you. You will have better chances of getting admission as well as get priority for housing, bursaries and even Scholarships.

(Q: 3)Are UK degrees recognized in India?

Answer: All UK Universities are members of Association of Common Wealth Universities (ACU) which make the degree awarded by them an accepted degree in India.

(Q: 4)Is IELTS mandatory for an Admission in UK?

Answer: IELTS is not mandatory for every University / College. It depends on the University / College you apply. For whom English is not their 1st language, they must provide evidence of logistic ability by gaining an IELTS or TOEFL or Pre Masters Programme (NCUK)

(Q: 5)How can I finance my studies?

Answer: Going abroad can seem to be steeply expensive when compared to the cost of studies in India. However one must keep the possible returns in mind which are in the form of quality of education, international exposure and boost to ones career when evaluating the costs of studying abroad. A student can rely on sources like family funds, bank loans, scholarships, bursaries, sponsorships etc to provide for funds required by him. 
• Self 
• Bank Loan 
• Parents 
• Relatives (should prove the relation with documentary evidence) 
• Employer

(Q: 6)Can my overseas relatives sponsor my studies in the UK?

Answer: Yes. You should get a sponsorship letter from them indicating the relationship and the extent to which they are prepared to fund your studies. Besides this, they would also be required to show evidence of financial support (bank statements, salary certificate, a statement from the Chartered Accountant, their source of income etc.)

(Q: 7)Should I pay a deposit?

Answer: Yes, most Universities require the students to pay part of the tuition fees in advance in order to reserve a place for them in the university. In any case we recommend that all students should make a deposit payment as it facilitates in getting a student visa as well us bursaries from the Universities.

(Q: 8)Can I take up a part time job whilst studying in UK? What is the amount I am likely to earn and can I sustain myself on it?

Answer: Yes, any student visa holder is permitted to work up to 20 hours a week during term time and 40 hours a week during holidays. You can earn £ 4 and above per hour depending on the kind of job. This can cover up an average level of living expense of a student. However, when applying for a visa, students must show evidence of full financial support from other sources to cover their tuition and living costs. Students are always advised not to depend on part time jobs.

(Q: 9)What will be the cost of Living in UK?

Answer: We advise students to budget a minimum of £7,000 for undergraduate and postgraduate study, in addition to tuition fees. This amount should cover accommodation, food, entertainment, transport, insurance, laundry etc. Some students will require more than this amount, some less - much depends on lifestyle.

(Q: 10)Can I stay back and work in UK after completion of my studies?

Answer: Yes, you can. The International Graduates Scheme (IGS) allows international students to remain in the country for one year after graduation and gain valuable work experience. The Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme allows students to apply to stay and work in Scotland for two years after the end of their course without the need for a work permit. This will apply to people who have been living in Scotland and studying at a Scottish college or university. Those who have graduated with a Higher National Diploma from a Scottish Further Education College or a first degree, Master’s degree or Ph.D. from a Scottish Higher Education Institution are eligible under the FTWiS Scheme.

There are times when you are studying in college when you need a change of pace. This can be for any number of reasons. Perhaps you have studied only in North American schools where subjects are taught in a particular way, and you desire to experience your educational focus from a different perspective. You might be wondering how you can set your resume out ahead of other college graduates. You may just want to explore the world and go to school at the same time. No matter what the reason, you will find a wealth of opportunities to explore study abroad Asia programs online.

There are many ways to study abroad in Asia. You could select a year-long study abroad China program, or a shorter semester abroad Japan program. In either example, a quality educational liaison will help you enroll in a university located in China, Japan, Singapore, Thailand or other Asian countries. Classes for foreign exchange students participating in a study abroad Asia program are occasionally offered in English, with intensive language studies in the host country language available if you choose to partake.

The courses that you take overseas as part of a study abroad China or Japan program, because they are university credits, should transfer to your current college or university. It does make sense to check with your home university academic guidance counselor to ensure that credits earned in a study Abroad Asia program will apply to your degree program back home.

Good study abroad China programs will also ensure that you are comfortable and safe while studying away from home. You will want to seek out a program that offers guaranteed housing in your host country. It is also helpful if there is some kind of introductory period when you first arrive in the host country, so that the program advisors can offer tips and help you make the successful transition to living and studying in a different culture. For your safety, day and night emergency help should be available to not only you but also your parents and the advisors of your foreign exchange program while you are in country.

Financing a trip on a Study Abroad Asia program is not all that difficult. You may find that you can use student aid from your home university to help pay for the foreign study experience.

It is always wise to talk to students who have gone on the semester abroad Japan program, or other Asian destination program, that you might be considering. Alumni of the Asian study program should be able to share their experiences and offer good advice about the program and how it helped them after they returned home.
