Seize the advantage when you
pursue your bachelor’s degree abroad.
If you want to relish new experiences and uncover fresh international perspectives, then studying abroad is for you. For many students, it is an adventure that is once-in-a-lifetime, an exciting chapter with a host of benefits that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
For diploma holders, your certificate can grant you credit exemptions in an overseas university, shaving one to two years off your undergraduate studies based on the institution’s requirements
There are also opportunities for students who do not qualify for direct entry into an overseas institution. The foundation program is a popular pathway that preps and leads students to their dream undergraduate course - with the quickest program being as short as eight months.
If you’re still wondering whether to chase your goals overseas, we’ve put together some of the perks of studying abroad - and why it’ll help you stand out
Opportunities for personal growth
As you’d expect, apart from just hitting the books and preparing for exams, studying abroad entails having to manage your day-to-day activities. This includes having to prep your own meals, getting groceries, tidying up the apartment, as well as doing laundry and even fixing a faulty lightbulb.
These are essential life skills that will stand you in good stead, building up independence and your ability to cope with issues and setbacks.
Employability and post-study work rights
When you study abroad, chances are, there’ll be post-study work opportunities. It’s available in countries like Australia, New Zealand and Canada, as well as the UK - which recently announced that starting 2021, graduates from British universities are eligible for a two-year post-study work visa.
The exposure that you get as an international student is also an attractive trait to future employers. The fact that you’ve gone abroad reflects not only your willingness to adapt to new challenges but also your experience of having communicated and worked with people of different nationalities.
