The best country to study in depends on your chosen course, your personal and professional goals, and your budget. For example, if you're looking for a high-quality business education, countries like the USA and the UK are excellent. For art, design, and fashion courses, France and Italy might be ideal. Australia, Canada, and New Zealand are great destinations for those seeking quality education with a multicultural experience.
It's not necessary to be fluent in the language before traveling, but having a basic understanding of it will greatly help in your daily life and in adapting to the new environment. Many schools offer immersion courses and intensive support so you can learn quickly while you're in the country.
The duration of the course varies depending on the type of program you choose. Language courses can last from 4 to 12 weeks, while undergraduate and postgraduate degrees can last between 1 and 4 years. Technical and vocational courses are usually shorter, between 6 months and 2 years.
It depends on the course and the country chosen. Tests like the TOEFL or IELTS are required to demonstrate English proficiency in many university courses, especially in the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. The SAT, GRE, and GMAT are necessary for those intending to enroll in undergraduate or postgraduate programs at some universities. Check the specific requirements of the course and institution to find out which tests are mandatory.
Costs vary widely depending on the country and institution. Countries like the USA, UK, and Australia tend to have higher costs, both for tuition and living expenses. In countries like Germany, Portugal, or Canada, the cost can be more affordable. In addition to tuition fees, you need to consider costs such as housing, food, transportation, and health insurance. Our team can help calculate a cost estimate for your specific case.
Most countries require a student visa for those intending to take long-term courses. The type of visa may vary depending on the country and the chosen course. For example, in the USA, you will need an F-1 visa for academic studies, while in the UK, the visa will be Tier 4. For short-term courses, some countries allow you to study with a tourist visa, but it is always important to check the specific requirements in advance.
There are several housing options:
Yes, many diplomas and certificates from international courses are recognized in Brazil, especially those from renowned institutions. However, it's important to verify if the course you intend to take is recognized both in your field and in Brazil. Language courses, for example, are generally recognized globally.
The choice between a short course and an undergraduate/postgraduate degree depends on your professional goals. If you are looking for a faster and more specific qualification, a short course may be ideal. However, if you want a more in-depth and comprehensive education with the potential for long-term returns, investing in an undergraduate or postgraduate degree is an excellent option.
