With tons of opportunities available in the foreign countries, international students from all over the world aim to study abroad to enhance their standard of living and take their careers, altogether, to a new level. It may look daunting to go to some other country, because of various personal and family reasons, but once one realises the facilities and amenities available in the other country, there stays no reason why not to go to a foreign country.
There are many things to be taken into consideration before making the study abroad journey a wonderful experience. International students have to be proactive to get to know about all documents that are required to file for a study visa. Only if one is able to fulfill all requirements asked by the university or the college, one is able to study abroad.
Here are some documents that you need, to make your study abroad journey successful:
Application form
This
form is a prerequisite that pertains to that particular university or college
that one is applying to. One needs to be very careful in filling up this form
and the correct information has to be typed in before it is forwarded to the
college or university.
IELTS score
Most of the colleges and Universities located abroad have English as their medium of education due to which they ask for TOEFL or IELTS score for the admission. The score that is being asked varies across universities. It is important to note that the test certificate has validity and one must make sure to apply to the desired college or university well within time.
Education certificates
All the previous education records have to be submitted along with the application form. If the student is applying for the post-graduation program, then all the documents such as Senior Secondary Certificate, Higher Secondary Certificate and Graduation Degree certificate, along with mark sheets need to be submitted.
Resume
A resume may seem irrelevant to a lot of people as education qualifications and work experience certificates are already required, but a resume stands as one of the most important documents to be sent. The respective university or college looks into the presentation skills of the candidate and how one can perform while having the interaction over the call on video conference. This discussion takes place on the basis of the resume that one provides.
Statement of purpose
University
wants to know the reason why you want to come to the campus and study the
respective program. Only after having sent an extensively focused and relevant statement of purpose (SOP),
the admission seat is reserved for the candidate who deserves to be in that
particular college or university.
Passport size photos
The
candidates must send a clear picture with the specific background as being
asked by the institute. Make sure that you abide by all the instructions that
are being given by the Institution.
Photo ID
An ID
document that contains your photo such as a PAN card, Driving Licence or
Voter's ID will need to be required for the identification purpose as well as
the proof of residence.
Experience Certificate
The relevant experience certificates have to be submitted if any. This will play a big role in making one understand the program well and the hands-on experience always comes to the rescue when needed as long as we are presenting our education in the same direction as that of work experience.
Letter of Recommendation
One has
to list some people along with their contact details, the one who can help
testify for your character and the work that you have done in that organisation
or Institute.
Travel and financial documents
The
candidate must have the valid passport and the study visa to be able to travel and enter into the
destination country. Proof of funds is also required so that it is sure that
you can take care of yourself in case of any emergency.
All of these documents are required by study visa aspirants to be able to live the dream of studying abroad. Some of these documents listed above need to be sent within some stipulated time period as defined by the University or college.
