Student Poll

Should you study abroad during a recession?

A global financial crisis. Mass unemployment. International firms closing their doors.

In this current economic climate, it’s not surprising that many students are reluctant to pay for international study.

But a recession can be the perfect time to take on a new degree. An education will only make you more employable when things pick up. Because things always do pick up.

Why study abroad now?

It’s a safe place to be
Higher education is a good place to be while the rest of the world falls apart. Be part of the solution, not part of the stress and panic! Just study while you wait for the market to improve – then make your move as a graduate with global experience.

Expand your network
You’ll be able to tap into a new alumni network while you study abroad, and network with industry leaders and academics. Make the most of internships, even if they aren’t paid. It all helps recession-proof your CV

Pick up new skills
An extra language, vocational skills, leadership abilities –you can learn all these things while you study abroad. It may lead you into a completely new career path!

Currency advantages
Make the most of currency swings in your favour. It has never been more affordable to study in New Zealand or Australia. Even the UK currently offers value for money – especially with the option of shorter degrees such as a one-year MBA.

Stay awhile
New visa rules in some countries also make it easier to stay after graduation and look for work. The UK has recently introduced its new Tier 4 visa, which lets you work a year after graduation. New Zealand offers bonus migration points for graduates. Even France provides a six-month ‘job search’ visa for international graduates.

So don’t put your international study off until things improve. After all, that’s when you’ll want to be out there, earning a great salary with your new degree!

Whatever ups and downs of the world's economic crisis, then overcome we all. Without this there no human.
Education is like the Sun never end.
The world will be brighter than ever before, take any chances when we still can.

Good Day

I am eager to study in abroad but the problem is I don't have enough money to achieve that plan.

I wish somebody will sponsor my financial problem to pursue my study in abroad. Thank You So Much
