What criteria can help you choose your study destination?
Choosing your study destination must be based on a large number of parameters that need to be considered in advance.
The reputation of the proposed establishment
If you’re going to leave your own country to study in another, you might as well make sure you get the best training. But how can you be sure of the quality of the training courses on offer? Refer to the reputation of the host establishment. To do this, find out in advance about the establishments that interest you in your target countries.
Once you’ve been convinced by the school and the host country, your choice of study destination is made. All that’s left is to find out whether the admission conditions are favorable to you.
Once you’ve chosen a school and a host country, all that’s left to do is to find out about admission procedures.
The quality of teaching and infrastructure
When choosing a study destination, it’s essential to consider the quality of teaching and infrastructure. In fact, you need to assess your living conditions as a student in advance.
Among other things, you’ll need to make sure it’s easy to get around the campus, from one site to another, and within the city. Also, try to get a visual impression of the facilities, the campus and the various infrastructures to assess their quality.
To eliminate any doubts about the quality of the teaching, find out in advance about the content of the programs on offer and other quality indicators. To do this, go to the host establishment’s website and do your research there.
Choose a destination in line with your studies
Ideally, you should choose a study destination in line with your training. Some countries are better known than others for having establishments that specialize in specific fields.
At ESCE, for example, a business school specializing in international careers, students have the opportunity to go abroad during their studies. Our school offers an expert curriculum in Europe, America and Asia during the first 3 years of study in our Grande Ecole program.
The aim of the expert curriculum at ESCE is to strengthen students’ knowledge of the host region, renowned for excellence in their fields of study. This gives them an early understanding of how trade works – which is useful for their future careers.
Your professional project
Choosing your study destination also means making sure it fits in with your career plans. If you’re planning to work in commerce in Asia, for example, it makes more sense to choose a host institution in an Asian country.
Should you choose your study destination according to your budget?
When choosing your study destination, you obviously need to take your budget into account. In addition to the costs of your trip, avoid omitting daily expenses in your calculations and make your choice accordingly. Indeed, these costs can vary from one city or country to another, and can significantly affect your available budget.
What study destinations can I choose as an ESCE student?
