So what is the added value of
studying abroad???
Any guesses?
The ability to speak a
second language is a real CV boost. Plus, undergraduates who study abroad are
likely to return with an appreciation of diverse societies and political
systems, and an ability to stand on their own two feet. Combined with a good
academic record from a reputable university, these personal qualities will make
graduates highly attractive to employers.
Living and learning in
a foreign country can give you experiences you'll be looking back on for years
to come. It's a daunting endeavor-going to another country for an extended
period of time-but with some planning, some common sense, and an open mind, you
can have the time of your life.
Living abroad is
worth the effort and brings untold and indefinable rewards. As you struggle to
readjust to your home environment, remind yourself that the rewards make it all
worthwhile.
Many
university students who are searching for a genuine international component to
their studies often consider studying abroad in another country rather than
simply taking an International Management course at their home
university.
Positive aspects of studying abroad:
- You
will have a wider outlook, appreciation and understanding of the world.
- You
will have knowledge of and sensitivity to another culture and people from
another country that may increase your sensitivity and awareness of the
differences between Americans and many other people around the world.
- You
will have acquired another language that will increase your appreciation
of the literature, culture and people who speak that language. This may
also provide you with skills that enhance your career prospects and make
you a more attractive candidate to potential employers.
- You
will be more independent, flexible and able to cope with new or difficult
experiences.
- You
may have a new set of friends with whom you will stay in touch.
- You
will see your own culture more objectively than you did before.
Maybe the most important
aspect of studying abroad happens before you leave home: finding the right program. Spending a semester or
more abroad can literally be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so you want to
make sure the program you pick puts you where you want to be, and that’s where Confluence Educational Services Pvt. Ltd.
