Where to send the child to study abroad

Foreign education is becoming increasingly popular in Russia. Some parents plan to send their children abroad in high school, while others plan their children to go to foreign universities. In any case, before traveling abroad, you must understand the correct sequence of actions for a successful start to study.

Instruction manual

one

Choose a curriculum and the country where your child will be educated. Do not limit yourself only to English-speaking countries - consider the wishes of the child himself, as well as the prospects of a particular type of education. Also, the cost of training varies greatly depending on the country. If in any case the high school will be quite expensive, you can save on studying at a university. Germany and France provide an opportunity for foreign students to study for a small fee - 500-1000 euros per year, while the cost of studying in the UK and the USA is often several times higher.

2

Find out what is required for admission to your chosen institution. Minors most often require a guardian in the country of study. The role of the guardian may be performed by the school principal or private individual by prior arrangement. Also find out how your child will be able to confirm his Russian education and for what year of education he will be able to enroll. Keep in mind that not all countries consider the Russian school certificate sufficient for admission to their universities. In this case, it will be necessary to study for a year at a Russian university. Specify the cost of education and what it includes - whether the student will be provided with housing and meals, whether it is necessary to pay for additional classes and school books. Make a financial plan taking into account all expenses.

3

Specify what diploma your child will receive at the end of education and what rights this document will give him. For example, some European schools offer international training programs with a local and American school certificate, which simplifies enrollment in US universities.

4

Gather the opinions of those whose children have already studied at the institution of your choice. You can find them in online forums dedicated to international education. Such opinions will help you make a more objective opinion about a school or university.

note

If you are sending a student to school, keep in mind that it may be difficult for him to return to a Russian school due to the difference in the curriculum. It is best to give him the opportunity to obtain a certificate abroad, which will not stop him if he wants to enter a Russian university.

Useful advice

Whenever possible, visit exhibitions and meetings on foreign education. There you can get information about prices, specific host schools and prospects of graduates.
