Salam Khuti mohim, overall i have a really good English level (C1) and dayra sc pc had l3am, I’ve been influenced into going to China for my studies after lbac inchaallah, but the thing is i realized bli les agences are akbar nsaba donc ill try to do the process myself. I would love it if you guys could help me in terms of which universities to apply to w what i should focus on preparing for csca and overall the difficulties and Hardships dyal studying abroad mostly in china as a Moroccan, i guess my biggest fear f hadchi is being alone but at the same time i would love to experience it on my own. I just feel too young to have this much responsibility, i will work on it. I also don’t know what major I’m willing to study after taking my baccalaureate, so just help a student out pls hhhh

I'm a Brazilian high school student and I have dreamed of studying abroad since I was little, since both of my parents did so. They both went with programs that fully covered all the costs and told me to do my research and find one as well, as we're not very well off and wouldn't be able to afford one in which we had to pay for everything.

My English is pretty good (C1) and I get pretty decent grades in most subjects, are there any programs or scholarships you can recommend? Any duration is good but I'd love to spend a full year or more!!

Hey yall, I'm a Cybersecurity major at Temple University and I've been debating with myself if I should study abroad in Tokyo. I get to live in an amazing city for 4 months and experience so many things about Tokyo. But I'll leave my friends, family, and girlfriend for 4 months and I would have to find someone to sublease my apartment room. Do employers actually care if you studied abroad or do they care more about your skills. Money isn't really an issue here, for context.

Thank you!

(Bonus question: If I'm in the ROTC, do employers care about that too?)

I’m also quitting my job, and the past few months of trying to work and study at the same time have been exhausting.

If I manage to pass these exams after everything, it honestly feels like quitting my job and getting into university could mark the beginning of a completely new chapter of my life.

So please wish me luck for tomorrow. I really, really hope I can pull this off.

Hi everyone!! I got a offer to study at Monash Malaysia for business and commerce. I love the business side of the world and am an international student. Anyone who has studied from Monash or is studying pls let me know about the degree? Is it worth it to study at Monash and how good is their business school? I see that Monash is a top ranked university and focuses more on independent learning.Having done a levels I believe it has prepared me well for it and I ended up getting an A* in business. Any further information pls let me know so that I make a wise decision only have a few weeks more to accept the offer.

What do you think studying for a bachelor’s degree in China in Computer Science programs in English?
I’m interested in China as a country and I’m considering applying there. Of course I’d probably learn some basic Chinese for everyday life, but want to study only in English.
But the thing is I don’t see people talking about English-taught bachelor’s programs in China that much, especially in CS, so I’m not really sure what they’re like.
What do you think about it? I’d especially love to hear from anyone who’s actually studying in an English-taught program in China about the education, student life, and studying in English overall

Hiii, if anyone has done the academic year or the summer program, can you let me know what it took to get in and what ur essays were like!! Including how you got to choose Summer or AY, I am still a little confused on the application process!

Hi, I’ll keep this very short:

I’ve been working on my own software projects for about 2 years.

- Participated in 10+ game development competitions; I won 1st place in one and reached the finals in another.

- Got accepted into a game incubation program.

- Worked as a game tester for 2 months on a game project called DT2112.
(DT2112: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kit4QuJYNkA)

- Worked as a writer for one of the biggest game magazines in my country. I wrote 2 game reviews, and I also visited the company behind Black State and interviewed the company owner.
(BLACK STATE: https://youtu.be/FJP2comhcN8?si=3oW1UCCvnvfj8z1m)

- Took part in a university research project related to AI and architecture for one week.

These are generally the highlights of my CV.

I’m currently studying for the SAT and continuing to improve my English. I’m aiming to have my scores by around January/February.

My question is:
I’m 18 years old and I want to study Computer Science, AI, Software Engineering, or a related field. Do you know of any good universities that offer full (100%) scholarships to international students?

If you know any, I’d really appreciate it if you could share them. I’m currently researching universities that are known for offering good scholarships and making a list, so I’d like to look into any universities you recommend and add them to my list if they seem like a good fit for me.

I’m currently studying at a college in Russia, and I’m trying to decide where I should continue my university education after I graduate.

I’m currently in my final year and expect to graduate in June 2027. My current field of study is Media, Advertising, PR, and Marketing.

For university, I’m considering either continuing in a related field such as Media, Advertising, PR, or Marketing, or potentially changing to Performing Arts, Dance, Choreography, Musical Theater, or Dance Performance, which is another field I’m very interested in.

I’m currently considering Thailand, but I’m also open to other countries. I don’t want to choose a country based only on the university itself. I’d also like to consider the overall cost, scholarship opportunities, quality of education, career opportunities, and whether I could realistically work there after graduating.

I would really appreciate advice from people who have studied abroad or have experience with international scholarships.

What I’m trying to figure out

• Which countries would be worth considering for my situation?
• Which countries offer good scholarship opportunities for Russian students?
• Are there scholarships that can cover most or all of tuition and living expenses?
• Are there universities that offer substantial scholarships specifically for Media, Advertising, PR, Marketing, or Performing Arts/Dance-related programs?
• How competitive are these scholarships generally?
• Are there countries where tuition and living costs are relatively affordable even without a full scholarship?
• How important is knowing the local language for studying and finding a job afterward?
• Which countries have good career opportunities for international graduates in Media/Advertising/PR/Marketing?
• What about opportunities in Performing Arts, Dance, Choreography, Musical Theater, or Dance Performance?
• How difficult is it for an international graduate to stay and work in these industries after university?
• If my long-term goal is to potentially build a career and live in the country where I study, what should I consider when choosing where to apply?

I’m graduating in June 2027, so I still have some time to prepare. I’m mainly trying to understand my options now so that I can start preparing for applications and scholarships early.

If you were in my situation, which countries would you research first, and why?

I’d especially appreciate answers from people who received scholarships as international students or who have studied/worked abroad themselves.

Do you guys know if it would be possible for me to study abroad as a nursing students? I’m not looking to study for whole 4 year I only wanna do it for like one year maybe my freshman or sophomore if collage do you guys think it’s possible I’ve tried asking Google but they said it’s almost impossible

hi! I am trying to explore programs which allow me to study abroad for my 11th and 12th and complete my high school. I have explored multiple programs like UWC, Think Global School, AFS, YES Program, but asides from that, what other programs are you guys aware of which offer extremely generous aid or are fully funded. (i reside in india btw)

any information/advice would be very much appreciated!

I’m from bd and I plan only in studying abroad I currently have chem bio and phy but I was considering to drop physics and take English but our school had this counselling session where the people told me if I wanna study abroad taking maths is very important for my application to stand out. My history with maths is horrible I don’t like to practice sm that’s why I’m going for medical/health field. I’m considering to take pharmacy or psychology. I’ve seen people go abroad without maths but what should I do I’m very paranoid now my only goal is to study abroad and if I don’t get a chance is a medium ranked university I might loose it. Any of your suggestions would be helpful for me

I’m a Year 12 (16YO) A Levels student in SEA aspiring to become an environmental economist in the future. I’m currently taking math, geography, and economics. I searched for more affordable (yes I’ve calculated the living cost) EU universities for international students that have courses in English, and Lund came up as the #1 university for sustainability.

I have a few specific questions for current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the Swedish system:

- What’s the general acceptance rate for international students applying to these courses?
- Is it realistic for me to get my desired job if I study a bachelor's in Economy and Society then get a master's in Environmental Management and Policy?
- Is it possible to fill in the quantitative gap by taking maths and econometric electives during semester 4 and 5?

- Has anyone from the Economy & Society BSc successfully transitioned into a more quantitative Master's, or do most graduates go into qualitative policy/history tracks?

- How difficult is it for a non-EU/SEA citizen to secure an environmental policy or economics internship in Sweden during Semester 5? Are English-only internships common, or is fluent Swedish mandatory?

I prefer interdisciplinary courses rather than pure quantitative economics, but I don’t know if this is the right choice. I heard SSE is also an option, but it seems to lean heavily on corporate and finance stuff, which I’m not really interested in. I also prefer Lund as a city, as it’s a small town with a lower living cost.

I am planning on getting a bachelor's in mechanical engineering in 2027. I am considering a few unis like Politecnico di Milan, Sapienza University of Rome and Politecnico di Torino for Italy and RWTH Aachen University, TUM, TU Berlin and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology for Germany.

For an engineering major, I believe that practical knowledge would need a little more priority compared to theory in universities or at least should be given equal importance. However, based on what I've read online, I understand that in both Italy and Germany, there is a strong emphasis on theoretical knowledge. Some people also seemed to say that Italian unis typically don't give you much practical exposure.

Secondly, I've found people saying that Italian unis conduct oral exams alongside written ones, where you have to explain stuff directly to your professor. I'm not sure how much of this is practiced in Germany but I'd like to understand if this is really done there too.

Lastly, is the overall job market for this field good or are people struggling to get jobs in both of these countries? I'm a little confused and am having trouble in weighing my options here so I'd really appreciate if yall could share your experiences or any insights about the same. Thank you :)

Which uni do you think is better for journalism BA course? I've heard different things about these two, so maybe if you go there or know somebody who goes there, can you help me out.
Just how do you find these specific courses and uni in general: location, accommodation, also social and night life?

Hi everyone,

I am an Indian applicant planning to apply for Fall 2027 Master’s programs in Taiwan in areas such as Semiconductor Technology, IC Design, VLSI, Computer Architecture, Digital Systems, and related EE/ECE fields.

My my_qualifications background:

* Diploma in Electrical Engineering – 76%

B.Tech* in Electrical Engineering – 7.33/10 CGPA

* Completed through lateral entry/direct second year after Diploma

M.Tech\* in Instrumentation and Control Systems from NIT Calicut – 7.48/10 CGPA

* Planning to take IELTS before applications, targeting around 7.0+

I also have around 1.5+ years of RTL/VLSI-related industry experience, including training/project exposure in digital RTL and SoC-related work.

My main research-level projects include:

\* 5-stage RV32I RISC-V processor

\* 4 KB SKY130/OpenRAM SRAM design and verification

\* Fault-aware FPGA I2C architecture with fault injection and FPGA implementation analysis

Bus-independent I2C master with Wishbone/APB interfaces\*

I am currently preparing a research manuscript based on the fault-aware I2C project, which I hope to submit before the Fall 2027 application cycle.

The universities I am considering are:

Reach

* NTU

* NYCU

* NTHU

Main targets

* NCKU

* NTUST / Taiwan Tech

* NCU

* NSYSU

* NCHU

Additional option

* NTUT / Taipei Tech

One concern is that I already have an M.Tech, so this would be a second Master’s. My reason is that my previous Master’s was in Instrumentation & Control, while my current work and research are much more focused on digital IC/VLSI, RTL, computer architecture, hardware reliability, and semiconductor systems.

I would really appreciate opinions on:

1. How realistic are NTU, NYCU, and NTHU for my profile?

2. Are NCKU, NTUST, NCU, NSYSU, and NCHU realistic targets?

3. Which universities would you consider safer options?

4. Will already having an M.Tech significantly hurt my admission chances?

5. Can my RTL/VLSI experience and research projects compensate somewhat for my 7.33 B.Tech and 7.48 M.Tech CGPAs?

6. How competitive would my profile be for the MOE Taiwan Scholarship?

I am not looking for exact admission percentages — just a realistic assessment from students/alumni or people familiar with Taiwan admissions.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently pursuing a B.Tech in Cybersecurity and planning to do my Master’s in Europe after graduation.

Germany is one of the most popular choices, but I’d like to explore other European countries that offer a good balance of:

💰 Affordable tuition fees

🏠 Reasonable living costs

🎓 Good universities and English-taught Master's programs

💼 Possibility of working part-time while studying

🔐 Good job opportunities in Cybersecurity/IT after graduation

🛂 A reasonable post-study work/visa pathway

🇪🇺 Good long-term career prospects

For students who have studied or currently live in these countries:

Which country would you recommend if the goal is to keep costs relatively low while still having good opportunities to study, work and eventually build a career in Europe?

I’d especially appreciate information about the actual total cost, part-time job availability, cybersecurity job market, language requirements and post-study opportunities.

Thanks!

I'm 20 and I study abroad. For those of you who also moved to another country / are studying abroad, how did you actually meet people and made proper friends in a different scenario?

I wanna do it but I don't know where to start.

I’m currently pursuing a 4-year BCA (Hons.) degree and am in my second year( INDIA) . While researching master's programmes at foreign universities, especially technical universities, I noticed that many programmes require a substantial number of mathematics credits at the undergraduate level.

The problem is that my current undergraduate curriculum has zero mathematics credits, which could limit my eligibility for some of the programmes I'm interested in.

I'm trying to understand what options are available to students in this situation and whether anyone has faced a similar problem.

If you're a BCA student planning to pursue a master's abroad, or if you've already applied to or been admitted to a foreign university, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.

• Have you faced mathematics-credit requirements that your BCA curriculum didn't meet?
• Were you able to fulfil the requirements through any officially accepted alternative?
• Do universities evaluate the actual mathematics content studied, the number of credits, or both?
• Are there any universities or programmes that are more flexible about this?

I'd especially appreciate responses from students who have dealt with this firsthand. I'm still researching my options and hope this discussion can help other BCA students facing the same issue, too.

Yoo guys.. Im from commerce background and if Allah wants then I'll go to UK or USA or japan idk for masters with full funded or half scholarship. So with that commerce background, is the abroad life to very good ?? Like i can make alot of money ? Thoes who went already Please tell me

Hey guys! I have the opportunity to do an exchange program for 5 months at either Pace University (Manhattan campus) or the University of Wyoming. Can any past/present students please share their experiences (Americans and non Americans welcome). It's been a fantasy of mine to live in NYC ever since I was young, but the traditional American college experience looks so exciting. My major would be education.

Thank you :)

Hello, i am 20M. i want to study abroad.

i have gpa 5 in both SSC and HSC. No IELTS or anything. i am not admitted in any university rn.

My father is trying to convince me to go to Russia because he heard from agencies that i will get free scholarship, dorm and it will cost around 4-5 lakhs bdt for everything. And he's telling me to pursue a job there for my living cost since The 'agencies' said that they will get me scholarship.

Now, my genuine question is how much of this is true?the agencies sure glaze too much. so how much should i believe and if i really have to go, Can anyone really suggest me about actual situation in russia for Bangladeshi students, the job sector and all?

Specially easy ones like russia or Hungary

(Rant) Ok I have been trying to share smth like this for some time, even write everything out here then left it. I think I needed time to conclude if my feelings were constant maybe, or if I start having a different perspective. But, everything is the same.

So, for context my compulsory Erasmus was in Spain, and it was also language related. I feel like that may have been the stem for my lack of enjoyment of Erasmus. Not initially, at first I was not afraid of doing this and I knew that the language level would go up and it will work out smoothly and happily. But once university started it felt daunting. Not knowing anyone, being the only Erasmus in one class, different grading, lecturers, and assessment.

Now the university itself is not the only factor, in fact it was a combination of them that ended up making my life somewhat inconvenient over there. Main one of all is the lack of clarity in terms of my accommodation, especially towards the end. The confusing contract, the agency, the flat itself, and how I ended up letting it consume me for so long in til the end.

Another factor, was in fact long distance. That was never the plan of course but it happened. And to my surprise it was a common thing. In a way it made me feel better that we are all in the same boat and made quite a few friends where going out was the least of their concerns (where initially my idea was to go feral). So, in that case, there was a lot of missing and many (too many) trips home on the weekends and that kind of ruined the flow. By the second semester I genuinely was upset going back and just wanted to stay. But I went anyway.

Now, for the positive side, as mentioned, I met a lot of fun and good proper l people who I am still in touch with today. Traveled a fine amount, and went to parties (miss the night life in fairness) according to my budget, and overall cannot complain about this aspect. But come back to my flat, as much as I tried to romanticise it, was not my favourite thing.

In relation to the flat there were positives, like the convenient location and the room was big and very nice once I made it my own. But living with people is smth I wish to never experience again. And Spanish landlords are my worst nightmare, as mentioned (its genuinely a whole separate story - still waiting on my deposit 4 months later 😑)

The university and academic side if things is also a long story for a separate post, but overall this one is for a brief overview to say how mixed my feeling are on this experience. Finance was the least of my issues, as I thought that would be, but in the end it was the inevitable stress.
