‘The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page’.

Saint Augustine seems to have hit the right note with this quote, folks. The thought of embarking on a new adventure, exploring the sights and sounds, gorging on local cuisine, and meeting people from different cultures is the stuff our bucket lists are made up of!

Imagine how thrilling it would be to pursue your higher education abroad? You wouldn’t just make memories and learn from new experiences, but it will also shape you as an individual. Networking and meeting people from different cultures will make you so much more receptive and open-minded, and enrich you in unimaginable ways. What’s more, you will expand your career prospects like never before.

No wonder - an increasing number of students are opting to study abroad. If numbers are to go by, more than six lakh Indian students are currently pursuing their higher education in a foreign country. That’s not all - if you plan to pursue courses in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, then you have options galore!

Unlike earlier, access to education loans is much simpler - whether a student needs financing for the course, accommodation expenses, study material or any other related costs, everything is available without a hassle. That means come what way, students can fulfil their dreams - there’s really no reason to give up! Zero in on a course and university, and let your biggest dreams take shape right in front of your eyes.

Speaking of foreign destinations, let’s explore the best destinations for Indian students:

USA

The very mention of USA conjures up images of skyscrapers, big tech giants and of course, some of the best universities in the world! Shreya was a bright student right from her early years - she knew she wanted to pursue an engineering degree, but was a little apprehensive if she could afford the course fees abroad. With the right guidance, not only did she fulfil her dreams; today, she works as a software engineer at a top tech company in New York.

While she was studying in the US, she got an opportunity to hone her skills, and gained exposure in ways she had never thought of! She also got to be a part of an exchange program and that changed her perspective even more.

The universities in the USA offer state-of-the-art facilities and world-class teaching faculty. Some of the popular courses in the US include MS in Computer Sciences, BTech, MBA, BSc, etc.

Canada

For Ankit, studying abroad was always a dream. While he wasn’t sure about what he wanted to pursue, he knew he wanted to go to a foreign university. With time, he realised he had strong communication skills - that’s when he decided to go for a course in Journalism and PR. He was weighing in on his options, when he zeroed in on Canada.

Statistics suggest that there are over half a million students studying there! Its location is a huge advantage, and so is its affordability - when it comes to cost of living, course fees or other expenses, Canada is relatively more economical than other countries.

Oh, and how can we forget the cherry on the cake - Canada has lenient entry procedures and allows students to stay back after their course! Now, that’s a win-win.

Germany

Think higher education opportunities, think Germany. The country has been ranked as the fourth most popular destination for international students, and for good reason. After all, some of the best colleges in the world are established here. Oh and that’s not it - after you’re done, you can also expand your horizons by working for some of the top companies here (and of course, guzzling the best beer after work).

There’s another surprise - international students are free from paying any tuition fees. You just have to pay some minimal administrative costs and take care of your travel expenses. Germany equals Ger – less – money.

Australia

If you wish to study abroad, you should hop (because, Kangaroos!) your way to Australia! The Land Down Under has some of the best universities, 8 of the top 100 to be precise, that provide high Koala-ty courses in Business Administration, Law, Accountancy, Agricultural Sciences, Logistics. Australia also pays well; part-time jobs are known to pay upwards of 17 or 18 dollars in some cities! This is perfect if you have a study abroad loan and wish to repay it while you study.

New Zealand

Avantika had gone to New Zealand for a holiday when she was in school, and fell in love with the place! She is an adventure junkie and as we all know, there’s no dearth of such experiences there. That’s when she decided to go abroad and study in New Zealand - little did she know that her wildest dreams would come true, and she’ll have a perfect life!
