In seeking the best opportunities for your child’s university education, it’s hard to know where to look. Which countries should you focus on? What are the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing a degree in one country rather than another? How can you make the most of the advantages and minimize the disadvantages? This presentation will explore a dozen countries’ offerings (all taught in English). We’ll examine a range of schools and programs, including their:
- International and local standing
- Tuition (price) for different subjects
- Length
- Flexibility (one subject vs. multiple)
- Student experience
- Application process & deadlines
- Difficulty of admission
We’ll also look at a variety of other issues, such as opportunities to transfer from one university to another, how to combine bachelor’s and master’s programs to best effect, key decision criteria, and more.
