Benefits of studying overseas

More than ever before, we live in a globalised world. Earning your degree overseas can have huge benefits for your career and personal development.
Here are a few advantages of choosing to study overseas.

Start your career off on the right foot
Graduates who’ve chosen to study internationally are highly sought after by employers. Pursuing a degree overseas signals employers that you have courage, flexibility, cultural awareness and an understanding of how other people work and think. This experience puts ahead of the pack when it comes to internships and job applications.

From learning a language to living a language
Studies have shown that immersion is the best way to become fluent in another language and understand another culture. Since you’ll be interacting with English language speakers every day, it would be easier to grasp the language in relevant cultural context.
Living, studying and working in English can be challenging at first, but you’ll be surprised at how quickly it becomes your second nature. Communicating confidently in English will help you to excel in your studies and make new friends from other parts of the world who may even become professional connections down the road.

Find the perfect course for you
Overseas study offers a wider variety of courses, some also including research options and skill-based training for students. This helps expand your horizons and opens up a world of new educational opportunities. Grace partners with more than 600 top universities and schools across the world; whatever you are looking for – from a course that is highly ranked for research to a unique study environment – we can help find the best fit for you.

Grow and develop personally
Students who study overseas develop a well-informed mindset and wider perspective towards other cultures and people. Whether you’re studying science, politics or finance, being able to think from a multinational perspective will help you face modern challenges and come up with innovative solutions. You will graduate with a richer set of experiences that will allow you to think more openly and creatively. As you learn to view the world through different lenses, you’ll also learn new things about your own country and culture.

Stories to last a lifetime
Your study abroad experience doesn’t end at the campus gates. During weekends and holidays, you’ll have the chance to travel to tourist hotspots or get off the beaten track in your chosen country. Make sure to save some mementos, such as train tickets and photographs, and keep a record of your adventures, because you might not realise how incredible your time was until you’re home.
