Studying abroad is often considered a life-changing experience, adding a layer of global and cultural awareness that boosts self-confidence. While tertiary education already focuses on transformation, character-building, and self-discovery, the chance to study abroad amplifies these aspects. Yet, many students hesitate to take the leap.
According to AECC Global, a leading international education consultancy, the key to overcoming the hurdles of studying abroad lies in accessible and accurate information. Contrary to popular belief, studying abroad is more achievable and manageable than many realize.
“Gaining a global edge in competitiveness and cultural literacy doesn’t have to be expensive,” says Jun Mojica, Marketing Manager of AECC. “The cost of tuition fees abroad is often comparable to those of top local universities in the Philippines. Additionally, in some countries, study programs are shorter in duration.”
Countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK not only offer quality education but also provide work rights to students during their studies. Students can work 20 to 24 hours per week during the academic term and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks, which can help cover living expenses and tuition fees. Furthermore, graduates can work up to three years after completing their programs.
AECC Global simplifies the application process, offering expert guidance from school selection to visa application, without charging professional or placement fees. The consultancy partners with over 800 universities across 12 countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom, offering more than 110,000 courses at vocational, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels.
“Entry requirements vary depending on the course, institution, and country,” Mojica explains. “This can include academic prerequisites, language proficiency tests, and application deadlines. Navigating these complexities is where expert guidance becomes invaluable, ensuring that all necessary documents are submitted correctly and on time, increasing the chances of a successful application.”
To further assist students, AECC Global organizes Global Education Fairs, providing direct access to representatives from various international educational institutions. These events are designed to streamline the application process, making the dream of studying abroad more attainable for Filipino students.
