These days, universities worldwide are competing globally for the brightest students. Given the growing array of options, how do school-leavers and teenagers planning a career path identify the one that best meets their needs, and how can expatriate students who are considering international options prepare most effectively? Anne Keeling asked international admissions experts from universities around the world for their tips.
pplying for a university place has never been so competitive, or on such a global scale. Universities in the UK and the US are particularly sought after by students the world over, thanks to their reputation for enhancing career potential and their language of instruction. But just as students are competing for the best universities, so more universities around the world are enticing able students. Competition is no longer just from universities and colleges in English-speaking countries. Today, a growing number of non-English-speaking countries are offering degree courses using English as the language of learning, in order to compete for students on the global stage. Although US and UK universities still host the largest percentage of students from overseas, their share is being eroded was competition increases from universities around the world. With the increasing number of global options, how do high-school students make the right choice of college or university, and how can expatriate students who are considering international options best prepare?
A PLAN EARLY “ 7
Start planning your university options up to two years before finishing school,” recommends Danette Anderson, director of marketing and enrolment at John Cabot University, in Rome. “The application process is a very time-consuming, sequential one. You need to think about best fit and affordability, and it takes time to sift through the huge maze of university options.”

David Thornber, regional manager for East and South East Asia at the UK’s Durham University, says, “If I only had one piece of advice for students considering their overseas study options, it would be to do your research. Studying overseas can be life changing. It also represents a not inconsiderable investment of time and resources, so it is important to ensure you are making an informed decision.”
DO YOUR RESEARCH R
esearch thoroughly, advise all the experts. “You can learn a lot about the institution by viewing its webpages and associated media to explore universities that will be a good fit,” says Patricia Croom, associate director for international admissions at Michigan State University, in the United States.
