Study Abroad Counselling

In this page we will post articles which are being sent to us by guest posts. If you have graduated from any college/university you can share your experience, if you have spent your semester abroad then you can share that as well so that other can get an idea and get benefit from that experience  If you attended any visa interview or have faced any problems in any kinda procedure you can share that as well since it will make other students to avoid that problem (and here please don't be selfish and leave other students to suffer just because you had to suffer). If you want to contribute to us then we would love you to have you on board.

This page will be about a head on comparison between two things which are quite similar but with minute differences and which generally confuses students and their decisions. And that's why the page name versus aka VS.  It can be either two courses in two universities- example like Msc IC design in HKUST VS Msc Analog IC design in Imperial College. It can be direct comparison between colleges-example like NTU vs KAIST   It can be direct comparison between two level of courses- example Master of Engineering or Master of Science OR anything Which are related to some way and people get confused which one to choose. The posts in this page will be published like a tabular column with things compared and explained in the two rows. For example the comparison will be between two entities as shown below with each column focussing on an element. For example consider HKUST VS NTU. Entity A is HKUST and Entity B will be NTU.

In one of my previous post I had explained how visa extension rule has become such important while short listing countries for higher studies and the amount of importance students gives to work permit and visa extension to search for a job. http://studyabroadcounselling.blogspot.in/2013/06/countries-where-you-can-immigratesettle.html The reason countries like USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are enjoying immense success in terms of higher education and the reason why UK has fallen as the top choice for higher education for students in India is because of the work visa which in the former countries is given for 2 years or more to search for job while in the later it was reduced to 4 months.

In my previous post entitled “Countries where you can Immigrate/Settle easily “, I covered the countries around the world where you get visa extension and hopefully permanent residence (pr) card easily.  http://www.studyabroadcounselling.blogspot.in/2013/06/countries-where-you-can-immigratesettle.html The countries which were focused on that articles where Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, USA and Singapore. The reason being these countries provide a visa extension up to a minimum of one year (Singapore doesn’t but if you study there in a subsidized fee then you get three year visa). And it is really easy to get a PR in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore than in any other country around the world.

Each year more than 1.5 million students around the globe leave their country and go for higher education abroad. Of this 30% students go to USA (about 1/3 rd ), 15% to UK (as of 2013), 15% to Australia & New Zealand, 20% to Europe (all the countries in Europe included), 15% to Canada and Ireland, 5% Asia (mostly to Singapore, Hong Kong and China). Very few people go for Japan.
