Study Overseas
Top Tips
- Outside the European Union, this is an expensive option, as you are less likely to receive the subsidised education of a home student and financial help with fees and expenses. You will need to plan ahead and start your enquiries well in advance, usually 12-18 months;
- Applications for courses and funding can be complex. Use the internet and email correspondence whenever possible, for speed and efficiency.
