In order for the journey to study overseas to be smoothly and successfully, EduMatch counsels students and their families to carefully prepare at least the following 5 key factors: comprehensive knowledge, foreign language ability, financial stability, essential soft skills and proactive attitude.
1. Comprehensive Knowledge
In order to integrate quickly and avoid unnecessary surprises, it is extremely important to prepare a solid foundation of knowledge. In addition to professional knowledge, you should learn about the culture, history, geography, laws, and education system of the country you plan to study abroad. EduMatch will provide useful information and valuable reference resources for you to confidently explore a new environment.
2. Improve foreign language proficiency:
Good foreign language skills are the key to studying effectively and communicating confidently abroad. EduMatch will help you determine the language proficiency requirements of schools and programs, as well as certificate requirements (e.g. PTE Academic, IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, GRE, GMAT, etc.). We will advise you on the appropriate study path and assist you in registering for the necessary exams. In case you do not have a certificate, EduMatch can arrange for you to take the school’s entrance test to be placed in the appropriate English class.
3. Financial stability:
The ability to cover tuition fees and living expenses throughout your study abroad journey is a prerequisite. While some countries facilitate part-time work for students, this income often doesn’t cover the full cost. However, you can rest assured that tuition fees are usually paid annually or in installments, and students over the age of 18 can proactively manage their living expenses, making financial planning more feasible. EduMatch will advise in detail on the specific financial requirements of each country and institution.
4. Practice essential soft skills:
Soft skills play an important role in helping you adapt and succeed in a new learning and living environment. EduMatch will advise and guide you to develop skills such as: computer, internet, effective communication, time and work management, spending management, self-care skills and many other necessary skills.
5. Proactive attitude:
Envision studying abroad as an enriching journey, encompassing both opportunities and challenges. To be successful, you need to practice your ability to solve problems on your own, adapt to new environments, and face difficulties positively. In fact, life as an international student often demands significantly more independence than living at home. EduMatch will share practical experiences and useful advice for you to build a strong mentality and confidently face any situation.
Important Notes:
- Preparation time: Allocate sufficient time for study abroad preparation, especially for developing foreign language skills (typically 1-2 years). Regarding finances, it’s advisable to gather information and plan your preparations 3-6 months in advance. EduMatch will always accompany and provide detailed information on the preparation time and process for each country.
- Independence and support: Studying abroad requires you to solve problems on your own, however, don’t hesitate to share your difficulties with your family and EduMatch. We are always ready to listen and support you throughout your study abroad journey.
EduMatch believes that with thorough preparation and our dedicated support, you will confidently achieve your study abroad aspirations and succeed in your international academic pursuits!
