Choosing a country is the first and most important decision of your study abroad journey. Here are five questions to ask before you decide.
1. What is your total budget?
Add tuition, living costs, visa fees and flights. Malaysia and parts of Europe are the most affordable; the USA and Australia usually cost the most.
2. How long is the course?
A one-year Masters in the UK or Ireland saves a full year of living costs compared with a two-year program.
3. Can you work during and after study?
Part-time work helps with living costs, and post-study work visas let you gain international experience after graduation.
4. What are the entry requirements?
Check English test scores, academic results and any study gap rules for each country.
5. What are your long-term plans?
If you want to settle abroad, look at countries with clear pathways from study to work and residence.
