Without language, neither there nor here.
To go abroad for the coveted diploma, first of all, it is necessary to have a good command of the language of the country where you are going to study. And not at the level of "I read and translate with a dictionary," but rather so that you can compose an international exam for the knowledge of a foreign language: in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand - IELTS, in the States - TOEFL, in Germany - DSH or TestDaF, and in France - DALF or DELF, etc. Prepare for these tests can be on language courses in your hometown or at the preparatory department of the chosen institution abroad. It should also be taken into account that the secondary education system in many states is different from the education system in Russia. Children in Germany, Austria, Denmark and other countries usually go to school for two or three years longer than in Russia. Therefore, for admission to the first course in the universities there, a Russian entrant should spend 2 to 3 years in a higher school in his homeland. Under this condition, he can continue his studies at a foreign university on a bachelor's program (3 to 4 years) or on a student exchange program (3 to 12 months).
Determine players on the battlefield
The next strategic move is to decide which country you will go to. First of all, pay attention to those states that provide an opportunity for foreigners to study for free. This is Norway, eastern Germany, Czech Republic, France, Spain, etc. Then - select several universities where you could get the desired profession. Experts recommend not to get stuck in institutions with a world-famous name. Perhaps you will be able to get to Sorbonne or Harvard from the first time. But, undoubtedly, you will have more chances in an accessible university. By the way, almost everywhere in Europe, a diploma of higher education can be obtained both after graduating from the university, and after graduating from college. The difference is that the college is a specialized university whose task is to prepare students for practical work, and the university is considered a major research and development center into which science is going. The advantage of the college is that having spent less time than at the university, you can get more knowledge and gain practical experience than at the university. Therefore, determining the strategy of their education abroad, it is necessary to pay attention to this.
There is a contact!
So, you are determined with the institution. The next stage of the strategy is sending an e-mail to the selected universities with the request to help you understand the conditions of entry, as well as send you the application forms and forms required for this. The addresses of electronic boxes you will find on the official websites of educational institutions. Probably, you will be sent to the head or consultant of the international cooperation department or to the department for work with foreign students, with whom you can talk more specifically. In communicating with him you will learn about what documents you need to collect and the deadlines for their submission to the university. So, the next few weeks, and maybe even months, you, in the literal and figurative sense of the word, bury yourself in a heap of papers and certificates that will be translated into a foreign language and certified with an apostille stamp. Apostilles certify the authenticity of the document and are stamped on school certificates, university extracts, diplomas, etc.
Through "intermediaries" or without .
When the package of documents is ready, the main thing is to send them where necessary. After all, in many countries there are special organizations that act as intermediaries between higher education institutions and applicants. Therefore, statements and papers must be sent to them. In Germany, this process is controlled by the Central Distribution of Study Places - Zentralstelle fur die Vergabe von Studienplatzen, UCAS University Admission Service and colleges in the UK,
in Norway - NUCAS, and in the United States there are no such institutions, those who come in contact directly with the admission commissions. As you can see, its specificity is everywhere.
Finally, I note that the procedure for admission to a higher educational institution in each state has its own characteristics and carefully prescribed rules. It is enough not to pay attention to at least one or do everything carelessly, and all your chances will be zero. Therefore, tune in to the painstaking work, which can take about a year. Or ... contact an educational agency where almost everyone will do it for you. But, naturally, you have to pay for it. When everything necessary is done, the most difficult will remain - just wait.
But, correctly determining the strategy of your training, the chances for a positive response are very, very great. I wish you good luck in your endeavors.
