You’re One Piece Of Advice Away From Your Dream Career - Make It Count!
Selecting your dream university and study destination can be difficult and sometimes researching for the right information could feel overwhelming. However, this is one process that has to be taken seriously in order to make the right decision!
From understanding the course curriculum and the current pandemic measures taken by countries to the various scholarship opportunities available, getting the right insight is key.
Thankfully with IDP, you’ll be able to gain all the information necessary directly from where it matters most - straight from the representatives of universities themselves!
IDP’s Study Abroad Fairs - Your Portal To Studying Abroad With Confidence
While you might have friends and family who have opinions and anecdotal advice, situations can change especially during this pandemic period. You’ll need the latest information that is accurate.
At IDP, we represent globally recognised institutions that you can get quality advice from and insights directly from their university representatives and counsellors.
We do this through our study abroad fairs where representatives from various universities including Australia, Canada and the UK will be available to help you decide which school, course and study destination might be the perfect fit for you!
With our study abroad fairs, you’ll be able to learn more about key aspects of the course application, student life and culture. These include:
Understanding The Entry Requirements
Every course and university is unique, that means entry requirements from the IELTS band score to academic scores will differ.
Talking with the representatives will allow you to understand if you are eligible to enter your desired course or if you have to make alternative plans
Scholarship Availability & Application Process
If you plan to fund your education through a scholarship, which you should try, understanding your options and the process is key.
Many universities have merit-based and program scholarships that can help pay for semesters of your tuition fees, allowing you to fully concentrate on your studies and not have to worry about money!
The Job Opportunities Post Graduation
What you initially thought about your course’s job prospects might conflict with reality in the working world.
At our virtual fairs, you’ll get the chance to ask the university representative about the potential employment prospects and where previous graduates are working now, allowing you to assess if this is a good fit or not.
4 Things To Do To Maximise Your Time At IDP’s Online Study Abroad Fairs
While our study abroad fairs can be your go-to source for quality insights and information, you’ll need to be prepared. Here’s four things you can do!
1. Prepare Your List Of Questions To Ask
You might have a hundred burning questions to ask, but it is key to whittle them down to the most essential.
Understand what fully matters to you and shortlist your questions. Here are 5 key questions to help you build your list:
Do you offer blending learning in the university?
What are the pandemic safety measures?
Is campus accommodation offered and how much does it cost?
Do I need to obtain student health insurance?
What is the campus culture and student life like?
2. Understand Fully The Application Process
From getting your visa to submitting your application letter, every course and university handles the application process differently with different dates of submission.
You’ll definitely want to enquire about the application documents needed as well as the submission deadline.
3. Learn More About The Study Situation During The Pandemic
The recent pandemic situation has left many questions unanswered for students such as the campus COVID safety measures as well as if blended learning opportunities are available.
Be sure to understand if your learning experience will be compromised. If you prefer in-person learning but it isn’t offered, this allows you to consider other options to fulfil your needs.
4. Network With Other Students & Representatives
One advantage of a study fair is the ability to interact with real people who can help you with your application long after the session has ended.
What you want to do is to stay in contact with other like-minded students who are applying to your university as well as the representatives.
This allows you to get up to date information and continued help with the application process.
