CONDUCTING A SCHOOL AND COURSE SEARCH

 

Studying abroad provides a new perspective on global issues and relationships for students across the world.

The best place to search out for such abroad study information is on the internet; however with the deluge of information, if one is not properly guided, you would spend most of your time wandering online without getting the useful information. 

At Vantage Migration, we have devised a formula for aspiring students to help them with the best universities offers you can think of. We call it the “SAPA” formula.

To set the ground rolling, we start with the S which stands for Search.

Here are the details you need to look out for searching for a school:

1. Type of Schools: When it comes to making the choice of a school, they are only two choices─ Colleges and Universities. Colleges are institutions that offer post graduate and diploma courses while universities offer full blown undergraduates and post graduate courses. For instance, if you want to post graduate diploma in Engineering, a college is your best choice.

2. Type of program: These are programs that one can apply into. They are (i) Diploma/Advanced Diploma/Post Graduate diploma (ii) Graduate certificate program/Masters course- based/Masters research-based (iii) PhD research based. Please note that course-based Masters do not have major research component and so, are no readily funded while the Research based-Masters have a research based component, last 2-3 years and often come with scholarships.

3. Types of scholarship: We have the School level scholarships and Program level scholarships. You can find the School level scholarships on the school website as it is open to everyone and is competitive, however, Program level scholarship, also called Departmental scholarship are usually given by the department (you have to search for it to find it ) and are less competitive.

Departmental scholarship will often require you to secure a supervisor as the funding is linked Colleges offers School level scholarship and unfunded program while universities offer school level scholarships and funded programs.

How to find a school level scholarship: 

Go to google, type school name, and slash (/) scholarship

For instance, type Oxford University/scholarship
