What studying overseas does for your future
Topics covered
Earning an international degree will benefit your career and personal development for a number of different reasons.
1. You'll be more competitive
Earning a degree overseas signals to employers that you have courage, flexibility, cultural awareness, and an understanding of how other people work and think. This will put you ahead of others when it comes to internships and job applications.
2. You'll have an English advantage
Being surrounded by a language is the best way to become fluent. You'll interact with English speakers every day, using the language in the local cultural context.
Living, studying, and working in English can be challenging initially, but you'll be surprised at how quickly it feels natural. Communicating confidently in English will give you an edge over those who have not lived in an English-speaking country. It will also help you make new friends from around the world.
3. You'll enjoy a diverse curriculum and teaching styles
Students who study in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, or the USA often appreciate the diverse teaching styles. Some courses and modules may follow a traditional class-based approach, while others emphasize teamwork or include practical real-world work experience.
Consider what would suit you best, and we'll take this into consideration while researching course options with you.
4. You'll gain a global perspective
Students who study overseas return home with a rounded, informed, and worldly perspective toward other cultures and people.
As an international student, you will graduate with a diverse set of experiences that will enable you to think more openly and creatively. You'll also see your country and culture through the eyes of others.
5. You'll have stories for a lifetime
Your international study experience isn't restricted to your campus. During weekends and holidays, you'll have the chance to travel and explore your new city and country.
Capture memories by taking lots of photos and saving items like ticket stubs and brochures to keep a record of your adventures. This will remind you of how incredible your time was when you return home.
