SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

These days, through the media, television, radio, and other sources of advertising, various types of advertisements inviting people to study at higher education institutions (HEIs) in foreign countries are on the rise. The reason is that in many countries of the world, as in our country, the process of admission to universities is underway.

The offers are many, all different. In such a situation, it is natural that the applicant or his parents do not know which university to choose.
With these recommendations, we want to share what we know about what to look for when choosing a foreign university. So we started.
Define your goal clearly: do you need quality education or the opportunity to go abroad?
According to data from the Internet, there are about 200 universities in the world. In most of them, citizens of any country in the world can study. However, not all of them have the desired quality of education. Not many are recognized worldwide either.
Therefore, in choosing a university, one must first be clear about the purpose for which it is set. Anyone who wants to get a quality education and become a qualified staff, of course, will have to pay attention to the quality of higher education, the relevance of the direction of education, instead of holding it in the world rankings. Conversely, for someone who is simply looking to reach a dream foreign country, what a university might look like may not be so important.
You will be mistaken if you think that I will find the necessary amount for the contract, both by studying and working, and, if necessary, provide for my family members. Because in such conditions neither the quality of study nor the work will be good. Many of our compatriots go abroad and suffer financially. Many of these difficulties end with dropping out of school and returning home.
Get acquainted with the "reviews" given to foreign universities
Before choosing a university, review its official website or social media pages. If possible, post on social media, for example, through your Facebook page (if any), asking them to leave a comment about what they think of the person they are studying at the university you are interested in. Someone will definitely let you know about it.
Another important thing is to keep track of the university’s position in the top rankings.
"Be a student without any exams!" don’t get too excited by the call. Because in international practice, there is a practice of admission of foreign citizens without exams in universities that are not "in demand". The main goal is to improve the position of universities in international rankings. The level of involvement of foreign citizens in the formation of international rankings is one of the important factors.
Just because you went to school without an exam doesn’t mean you end up studying without any exams. If you do not know a foreign language and have not mastered the subjects, you will inevitably play the driving tune in the first semester. Remember, re-learning a science that has not been mastered also costs money and takes time. The money you pay for one semester and the status that one international student studied will benefit the university.
Language of education remember that the most basic requirement - if you do not know any foreign language, for example English or Russian, and you do not have a strong desire to learn in the next 3-4 months, give up the idea of ​​studying abroad this year and learn the desired language.
Any foreign university requires language skills. The student must be ready for this. Language proficiency is usually assessed through certificates offered by internationally recognized testing systems such as IELTS, TOEFL. However, the university itself may offer special tests, including a 1-year language course.
Many think that I will go on this offer and then become a student. This is a mistake. In fact, after 1 year, for example, if you can’t get to the desired level of Chinese, you just can’t live in China and try to learn a language and score the required score.
Carefully check the "companies" you want to send abroad, as a consumer you have every right to do so!
It is known that today many companies offer their services for admission to foreign universities. In fact, their style of work is not much more complicated. They make self-proclaimed announcements, collect clients (applicants), submit their documents to foreign universities, and do some small technical, consulting work. They charge a fee for these services.
When entering into a relationship with such firms, ask if they have a formal contract with the university they are trying to send you to. If there is no mutual agreement, then know that this firm is deceiving you. They take risks and do not take responsibility for the consequences that may occur. All he has to do is go to the university website via the internet and fill out the online form, that's it. All other information (what to do) will be sent to your e-mail by the university itself.
Don’t fly at their promises. Promises can be roughly as follows:
- Go to universities in any country without any exams!
- The contract price is $ 250 per year!
- The diploma will be transferred to Uzbekistan without nostrification!
- Studying can be transferred to Uzbekistan in a year!
Beware of scammers! There are also companies that do not have a contract with any university and do not cooperate. They have the necessary documents in order to distract you in Photoshop may have been prepared.
We have stated above our thoughts on admission to study without an exam. Remember that the issues of diploma nostrification and transfer of study to Uzbekistan do not depend on these companies.
In fact, the work that these companies do can be done by anyone on their own. To do this, you need to work a little harder and "bite" the Internet. Terms and conditions of admission will be written on the official website of each university.
Another important aspect, If you want to use the services of a company that promises to enroll you in Uzbekistan, be sure to sign a written contract. Ask what the services he provides are and ask them to be reflected in the contract. Pay in Uzbek soums, to the company's bank account and keep the receipt with a copy of the contract. Mobodo will help you if a problem arises.
Those who say, "I'll move to Uzbekistan in a year," beware, it just won't happen
First of all, you will need to find a direction in our country that corresponds to your field of study abroad.
Also Regulations According to him, the fact that you have studied in a form other than the existing form of education in the universities of the country, or studied in non-accredited universities of foreign countries, prevents you from moving to Uzbekistan.
It should also be noted that there are a lot of formalities in the process of transferring reading.
Take care of yourself, don’t waste your money
There is a saying among the Uzbek people: "he reads if he has it". Indeed, it does not matter which university a person graduates from if he or she has the effort, the desire to learn, and the motivation. Take an interest in the history of prominent people around the world and you will be convinced that it was not only the university they graduated from that made them reach this level.
It all depends on your actions. Education has never been free. Don’t spend your money earned on forehead skin in insecure and inefficient places.
Read and learn not to fall into the trap!
