Preparations

Dream Foundation

Going to study abroad is a big decision,

therefore people usually need time

and information to make it.

So, how can you prepare yourself and become an expert in this field?

Dream Foundation

Most important questions?

Usually the following questions arise

when talking about going abroad:

– which university/institution to choose?

– which course to choose?

– what about financing my studies abroad?

– where will I live (accommodation)?

– how will I manage with my English?

– what about my relatives, friends?

Dream Foundation

Don’t worry – this isn’t as hard as it seems.

And we will help you with all your questions.

Dream Foundation

Which institution to choose?

There are quite many higher education institutions in the world to choose from....just a little over 20,000 to

be more accurate.

The choice can’t be too hard or can it?

Dream Foundation

3 main criterias

When we choose our partner institutions we usually look for the following 3 things from which they should fill at least one.

The institution:

1. is innovative, uses new teaching methods and focuses on the personal development of students.

2. is among the best in its country.

3. is in the world’s TOP rankings - we are looking those who are ranked among the world’s TOP 1000 and even better if they take a position among the first 500.

Dream Foundation

What about courses?

We have prepared a career test on our homepage to help you choose the most suitable courses.

If you want to find out what could suit you just take the test.

Nearly 30 thousand people have already taken it.

Dream Foundation

Courses?

The choice of different courses is usually wider when going to study abroad.

You can take anything from business and law to design, architecture or environment.

Dream Foundation for example has over 1500 BA and MA courses available to choose from.

Dream Foundation

Finances?

One of the favourite topics and reasons why NOT go to study abroad – finances.

Usually people think that it’s expensive and they can’t afford it. And they don’t consider it as an

option.

In reality, there are numerous possibilities that can turn out to be financially better for you than

continuing your education in your home country.

Dream Foundation

Finances?

If finance topic is important for you:

– Find a place with a small tuition fee or without a tuition

fee. For example, Denmark or the Netherlands might

be a good choice.

– Be prepared to work during your studies. Usually 12-

15 hours/week is sufficient to cover all your costs.

Dream Foundation

Finances?

If finance topic is important:

– Try to find a study place in a bigger city where are better

student job possibilities.

– Negotiate with your parents and relatives for support. For

example in the UK nearly 65% of international students are

supported by their families.

– Look for student loan and scholarship possibilities!

Dream Foundation

Plan your budget

Make two budgets - if you go to study abroad and if you go to study to your local university.

• Cost of education (tuition fees)

• Cost of accommodation (dormitory, appartments)

• Cost of food and personal stuff

• Cost of transport

• Student work possiblities (minumum wage, jobs available)

Even if studying abroad seems to cost more at first, the situation can turn around when you look at the budgets.

Dream Foundation

Plan your budget

And even it it costs more - are you willing to invest the extra effort in your education, experience and connections?

Dream Foundation

Accommodation

Finding a place to live?

– Usually institutions help international students with accommodation.

– If not, you can search real estate pages to find something.

– There is accommodation information about our partner institutions also on Dream Foundation homepage

Dream Foundation

Language level?

My English isn’t that good?!

– Normally B2 is required for undergraduate (BA) level and C1 for postgraduate (MA) level

– Prepare yourself for the language test – don’t come just to try out your luck.

– If needed, take additional lessons to improve your language level

– You can also test yourself on our homepage to get the quick estimation of your current level of English.

Dream Foundation

Relatives and friends

Relatives and friends will stay in your home country and this means:– Managing all alone in a new country

– Making friends all over the world

– Becoming independant

– Finding your inner powers and yourself

This can’t be compared to anything else.

Don’t miss the opportunity!
