How to choose the right


university abroad

Ranking, cost, requirements… What’s most important when choosing a university abroad? In fact, everything matters. Prestige, location, and scholarship availability are just the tip of the iceberg.

Here’s what our experts look for when selecting universities abroad:

  • academic and international rankings of the university and specific program
  • acceptance rate and level of competition
  • availability of funding and scholarships
  • required exams and passing scores (SAT, IELTS, TOEFL, etc.)
  • university values ​​and philosophy (ideology, culture, mission)
  • instruction format and campus size
  • job opportunities after graduation and career support

We’ve admitted over 1,500 students worldwide and know exactly which universities are right for you, taking into account your interests, goals, level of preparation, and realistic chances of admission.

SelfStartGlobal Help

We begin with a detailed analysis of the student’s academic profile, interests, and career goals. Based on this information, we select suitable programs and universities abroad, evaluating academic rankings, admission requirements, tuition fees, and available scholarships and grants.

We compare options based on key parameters, from the level of competition to employment opportunities after graduation, and then create a personalized list of universities where the student has a realistic chance of admission and financial support.

This approach allows for a strategic, informed, and ultimately beneficial choice of university.

FAQ

How to find the right scholarship for your field of study? Плюсик

You need to research which universities offer your major and then choose those that offer scholarships.

Individual selection of up to 10 universities based on your request with scholarships. Плюсик

To receive an academic scholarship, you must have a high grade point average, demonstrate motivation, and demonstrate achievements and activities in your chosen field (winning Olympiads and competitions, conducting scientific and research work, etc.). We help you build a strong personal brand and provide full support when applying for a scholarship to study abroad.

What are the main mistakes students make when choosing a university? Плюсик

One of the most common mistakes is choosing a university based on the advice of friends, neighbors, or relatives. When choosing a university, you should be guided by your own preferences, consider your capabilities, and match them with the requirements of a specific university.

Relying solely on the university’s ranking is also a critical mistake when choosing an online university. We recommend also considering program rankings, student acceptance rates, competitiveness, ideology, and employment rates after graduation.

Which universities do we recommend most often? Плюсик

We don’t have “favorite” or “least favorite” universities. We review over 5,000 universities and select the right institution for each student based on their abilities and preferences. As a result, we provide a list of universities where you truly have a fair chance of being admitted.
