FAQs

The academic requirements (including evidence of English language skills) you need to study abroad will depend on the level of education and course you want to pursue. All universities and schools can have different entry requirements, so read the course information carefully.

Your Vidyabroad counsellor will help you assess your eligibility for different programs and guide you on the courses and locations that best meet your preferences.

The costs associated with studying at a university or school abroad vary greatly. It solely depends on the nature of your program, the duration, the location and the kind of lifestyle you want to live there.

Some student visas require you to have a certain amount of funds available in your bank account when you arrive in your chosen country. It is best to speak to one of our counsellors and get a better idea.

Many students also choose to work part-time with their studies to support themselves.

As early as possible. This will give you enough time to think about your interests, personal and academic goals. Location, course duration, costs, accommodation, and living conditions are some of the other aspects that you need to figure out along with your program. Start planning at least a year or more in advance. Of course, we are here to help you through the entire process.

It takes a while. We recommend you begin your application process at least a year in advance so you have enough time for your applications to be processed. Remember, the academic year begins at different times of the year in different countries. 

Don’t worry, there are many scholarships available for international students to help them fund their studies. Since scholarships are competitive in nature, you will have to demonstrate exceptional academic achievements to earn them. Governments and other organisations also provide scholarships and awards to help international students fund their studies. Speak with your Vidyabroad counsellor for details of various scholarships available for your chosen course and university.

While you can apply to study directly to an institution, you may choose to use the expertise of a student counsellor to guide you through the process of choosing the right university or college and enrolling thereafter. Using an accredited and trusted agent, like Vidyabroad can help reduce the stress of choosing an institution in another country, applying and more. 

Our student counsellors are knowledgeable and up-to-date on curriculum changes, and most importantly, many of them have been international students themselves and can offer you first hand advice every step of the way.

Your experience of studying and living abroad will hugely benefit your career prospects, both in your home country and worldwide. You have an opportunity to develop a wealth of new skills, perspectives and seek work experience from the kind of employers you’d like to work for.
