HOW TO APPROACH AN EDUCATIONAL FAIR FOR STUDY ABROAD

How to Approach an Educational Fair for Study Abroad

Apply through Educational Fair

Educational Fairs are places where different Universities congregate at one place and showcase their colleges, campuses, course curriculum, faculty and infrastructure to prospective students. Campus tours are an integral part of deciding on which university the student chooses to complete his degree from. Many a time students who wish to pursue their education overseas are hampered by the fact that they are not able to visit their shortlisted colleges before taking a decision. Education fairs provide a fun way for students to learn about colleges and universities from other countries without actually visiting the campus. During an education fair, delegates or admission officials from a number of universities are generally available to give an introductory session on the college and its courses and to answer any queries that the students may have. Education fairs are great places to learn more about getting into colleges and pursuing an overseas education. Of course, you could just walk into an education fair and learn something from it, but you can immensely multiply the benefits of visiting the fair if you implement the following step

  1. Research the Website

The first step you should take before going to an educational fair is determined a few colleges from the list that you would be interested in and run through their website, you do not need to research the whole website just a cursory look through is enough.

Most asked questions on Google

The common notion is that foreign universities are expensive, although with scholarships this is an exaggerated issue. What many fail to consider are time and effort. Studying in an Indian college leads to a lower average salary than earned by our western counterparts. This salary sets the tone for all future promotions since companies often look at your previous salaries during compensation appraisals. Additionally, most senior positions tend to be scooped up by individuals who have an international outlook through global exposure.  Finally, studying in a foreign country is an incredible learning experience helping students get a better academic as well as soft skill development.

Canada has been one of the market leaders in education for decades. However, what currently sets Maple Country apart is immigration. Canada is wholeheartedly inviting students to study in their universities to fill job vacancies that are always growing in the country. Students who study in Canada (especially a Master’s Degree) are practically assured of a Permanent Residency Visa.

A good score doesn’t automatically qualify a candidate for a scholarship, however, it is one of the primary factors that the admissions department looks for in a scholarship application. There are other attributes such as a candidate’s academics, extra-curricular, financial background, and application essays (SOPs).

We get this question a lot. Many candidates know which career path they want to take, but are at a loss for how to take that journey. Understanding the job role and the industry that you want to get into is the first step to picking the right university.

Carefully consider the immigration options of the country that the university that you are considering is in. This is more important when you intend to stay back in the country after the completion of your course.

Also, review the placement history of the university as well.

The first step is to list your preferences. By listing your preferences and strengths, describe your course of preference. Extensive research on the modules, software and its length for your preferred subject is necessary.
