Select a university or college for admission. Focus on indicators such as the university’s place in the international ranking, the curriculum, and the teaching staff. Lists of universities and links to their websites can be found on the Internet. Pay attention to universities that offer full or partial scholarships to foreign citizens. If your university provides such opportunities, send along with the paperwork the paperwork needed to receive funding. This can be a questionnaire, motivation letter and other documents - a complete list is presented on the website of a particular university.
