Language skills can be honed, regional cuisines sampled, and local nightlife explored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are loads of benefits to studying abroad but there are some hurdles to overcome before you get there. We\u2019ve put together our ultimate list of tips for studying abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll cover all the touchpoints of how to study abroad including funding headaches, the hassle of accommodation, and how to secure visas without the stress…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Studying mechanics from a beachside bar in Byron Bay with a cold Victoria Bitter in hand\u2026 Some students have a very clear idea of how to study abroad. And sunny Australia is a popular choice<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re overwhelmed by options and asking yourself \u201cwhere can I study?\u201d, a good place to start is brainstorming which subjects you currently like or excel in. Also, factor into your thinking any hobbies you have – you\u2019ll want to pick a university that supports these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, consider what career you\u2019d like to go into. Combining your favourite subject, hobby, and career will help you get specific. Suddenly you know that what you\u2019re looking for is a university that offers an English Literature course, has a theatre club, and is close to the local newspaper that accepts student interns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On that note, it\u2019s important to look at your choice holistically. The course is important, but the location also needs to be appropriately situated for the things you love – be it a city centre for socialising, a running track for athletic enthusiasts, or a vibrant music scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, you\u2019ll need to think about the course type. The most popular choice for those studying abroad from the UK is an Undergraduate degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This usually takes around three to four years to complete. If you\u2019re interested in studying abroad for a year there are shorter courses on offer like Foundation and Sandwich courses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These can be a good option if you want to test the waters before doing a Masters abroad. Once you\u2019ve got a better idea about the course type and length, check the rankings of the universities you\u2019re interested in. It might help you to decide if one particular uni comes out on top for your course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
