A
Picking a destination may be the hardest part of getting ready to study abroad. It’s hard to pick just one to be your home. We are here to help you narrow it down, with a complete guide to the top four studying abroad destinations.
Number 4: Australia
Australia is a country where strong programs seem a bit obvious based on the location itself. Anything dealing with the environment is a natural choice of study, because Australia has such a unique climate across the country. You’ll need a student visa to study in Australia. Most universities will send you an official form along with more information about the visa process once you’ve met these requirements.
Number 3: China
Some fields like business or economics stand out just because of the nature of the country itself as an economic superpower. Other areas like cultural studies might give you more options to pursue programs that would help you get a better feel of what life is like in less developed areas. You’ll need a visa for any program you decide to do in China. You’ll also need to make sure your passport is valid for at least six months after your planned departure date. Be sure to pay attention to different entry and exit requirements too if you plan to do any side traveling to places like Hong Kong.
Number 2: France
Aside from studying the French language, France is a great place for students, who are interested in art, literature, music, history, architecture, or a combination of any of the above. If you’re planning to be in France for more than 90 days, you’ll need a visa. This process can take a long time (think two months or more), so be sure to start early.
Number 1: The United Kingdom
The UK is home to some of the oldest, most respected universities on the planet. You’re almost guaranteed to find an incredible program for any subject you could possibly think of. You’ll need one of two types of visas depending on how long you plan to study there and what you’ll be doing.
