rankings. If you know what subject you want to study, the QS World University Rankings by Subject may also be useful.
Which Country? Fundamental to studying abroad must be the desire to spend time in another country. If you can shortlist or identify your country, then you have a starting point for identifying possible universities to apply to.
Once you have selected a list of countries, you can identify some of the national organizations, such as UCAS in the UK, who can point you in the right direction for providers of scholarships and further information to refine your search.
Face-to-Face When searching worldwide for a university that is right for you, there is no substitute for coming face-to-face with people from that university. Clearly it will often not be feasible to actually visit the university before applying. However, each university has an
alumni association, often with an international network, so try to identify alumni who may be willing and able to meet you closer to home and give you that all-important feel of what it’s like to actually study at their university.
The QS World University Tour and World Grad School Tour also provide opportunities to meet a broad selection of university representatives from around the world, in a location close to you.
Open Mind Finally, essential to finding the university and course which are right for you is to keep an open mind. Identify your priorities, research your options and talk to people - but always stay open to new suggestions, just in case there’s something you missed. You are about to embark on one of the most exciting and important experiences of your life. Let the search begin!
