The costs associated with studying at university or school overseas vary greatly. It depends on the nature of the program, the length of your stay, the distance you travel and the kind of lifestyle you want when you get there.Discuss your budget with your Rebirth Education Consultants counsellor and they’ll work with you to find an option that meets your needs.

When deciding what and where to study, start by thinking about your academic interests and your career goals. Take some time to research specific courses, subjects and options for internships or work placements. Look at the campus location, rankings, the amount of time you would like to spend away from home and the total cost of studying and living overseas. Studying overseas is about more than just the course. Think about what kind of lifestyle you prefer – do you want to be in a cosmopolitan city, or a quiet country town? Would you prefer to choose a city where there are other students from your nationality? Do you want to be close to the beach, the forest or the desert? Do you want to live on campus? If you would like to explore the option of staying in the country to work after your studies you will need to find out about the migration policies in place and also be aware that these government policies can change at any time.

Your career prospects will benefit hugely from your experience of studying, living and socialising overseas. It’s your opportunity to develop a wealth of new skills, perspectives and stronger English language skills and seek work experience from the sort of employers you’d like to work for.

The skills and qualifications employers and professional registration bodies require will vary from country to country. If, for example, you are working towards a career with strict entry requirements such as medicine, engineering, accounting or teaching, do some research with the relevant registration bodies in your home country for advice.

There is a limited number of partial scholarships and bursaries available for international students. The amount varies by level of study and by institution. These scholarships are competitive and you need to demonstrate exceptional academic achievements. Talk with you Rebirth Education Consultants about available partial scholarships.

Working while you study can help complement your study and living experience. If you pursue a course at degree level or above you may be permitted to work while on an international student visa.
Before you undertake any paid work, you need to make sure that your visa allows it. The opportunity for students to work part-time during their studies varies from country to country.
Many universities have a dedicated job centre on-campus for students that advertise job opportunities to help students develop skills. The university careers service is also a useful source of information..

While you can apply to study directly to an institution, you may choose to use the expertise of an agent to guide you through the process of choosing a university or school and enrolling. Using an accredited and trusted agent, like IDP, can help reduce the stress of choosing a school in another country, applying and preparing to leave.
Our student advisors (we call these student counsellors) are knowledgeable and up to date on curriculum changes, and have your best interests at heart. Most of them have studied overseas themselves so they have been in your shoes and can offer first hand advice every step of the way.
