Jun 27, 2023 | Study in Europe, Study UK

Are you thinking of joining the many Canadians who head overseas each year to study overseas in the UK or Europe? There are a number of things that you should consider before packing up for your exciting year. See some of the helpful hints below from Barclay Educational which has been helping Canadians who study abroad for more than a decade:

London is one of the many places where you can start your Masters degree.
  1. Be SURE that you have selected the proper program for you. Barclay Educational is an expert at doing this and insures that the program you sign up for is the right fit for you. So choose a reputable agent who focuses on student experience and not large numbers.
  2. Make sure that the university is in an environment that you will feel comfortable in. Are you more of a small town person than a big city one? Heading overseas is a big step so you must find a campus where you can settle in and feel at home. Barclay works with more than 25 top-rated universities in the UK and France so we can always find the perfect one for you.
  3. Make sure your financing is in place before you accept your offer. Even if you don’t actually HAVE the loan or line of credit yet, you should know that you qualify and are able to receive the necessary funds. Some students do all the work of getting to the last stage of the application process, only to find that they are unable to raise the money for tuition and living costs.
  4. Explore scholarships and other options which might assist you in your learning opportunity. Reputable agents such as Barclay will have access to scholarships and even application discounts in some cases, specifically for Canadians who apply with the agent’s assistance.
  5. Know Who You are Working With. If you are using an agent in Canada to study in the UK or France, there is NO COST to students to do this. The universities pay the fee for agents to assist you. If anyone is trying to charge you for this service, look elsewhere.
