How expensive is it to study abroad and how would I go about doing this either for AS or A Levels or in University or a degree. I was primarily thinking Australia, USA or Hong Kong
Thanks
I’m thinking of studying again, and for a change of scene I want to know how I would go about studying overseas. I tried looking it up but got a little confused and overloaded with sites. Maybe someone who’s got some experience can help me out?
I just turned 23, live in Australia and am thinking about giving Psychology a go, but have never studied it before. That doesn’t matter, does it?
Either way, any info/sites is appreciated
Gee Amp Elevate, I can really see how you gained top contributor status…
At least gimme some reasoning behind that??
Don’t do it.
I’ve heard that some hospitals send nurses overseas and Im not so comfortable using an agency, also what is required to do nursing overseas?
Apply as an english instructor and they might even pay for the trip + room and board. However, they make you go through a basic comprehension crash course for the native language of the country you plan to travel to.
What would be the best college to study abroad at if my major is Film and communications studies? What would be the best college to study at to be in the city and get a great experience in London? What is the best college overall? The college I attend now has alot of school spirit and people generally love the school. What school in London is equivilent to that?
If you can get into Oxford, I would go there. Although the school is known world-wise so this may be easier said than done.
No matter which school you choose to attend, I am sure you will love your experience. I just got back from London about a week ago and can honestly say it is my favorite city. However, be prepared because it is also the most expensive.
I’m currently a study abroad student in Belgium and have created a blog to help people in your situation. It will you give you an idea of what to bring, how to travel cheaply, etc. It’s located at www.somestudyabroadgirl.blogspot.com.
Good luck in London! You will have a great time. And seriously, look into Oxford because it is one of the best.

Regardless of your motivation for moving your nursing career overseas, you will have many of the same questions as others who want to nurse abroad. Here are the answers to three of the questions that I am asked most frequently…
Where can I get a nursing job overseas?
Most developing countries are suffering from an increasingly severe nursing shortage. They simply are not training enough nurses each year to replace the nurses that are reaching retirement age. This is an immediate problem for countries which also have an aging population who are putting more strain on the health systems in those countries.
Countries like the USA, the UK, Australia and New Zealand all have a significant number of internationally educated nurses already working in their health systems. And there are still many vacancies that nursing recruiters are unable to fill!
If you are already a registered nurse at home, moving your nursing career overseas to any English speaking country is only limited by your ability to speak the language well enough to pass the required English language test. Similarly, if you are a qualified nurse who is fluent in a language other than English, Arabic or Cantonese for example – there are many nursing vacancies abroad in the United Arab Emirates or Singapore.
How do I get a job nursing abroad?
Each country has their own way of registering nurses. And nurses who want to nurse abroad in the United States, Australia or Canada face the added challenge of being required to register with the State Board of Nursing relevant to where they will be working as there is no nationwide system of nurse registration.
Generally speaking, you will have to:
* provide evidence of your nursing education
* provide evidence of your nursing license in the country you are currently working in
* provide evidence of your nursing experience, usually recommendation letters on official letterhead will be accepted
* provide evidence of your fluency in the official language of the country you are applying to register in
In the UK you’ll also have to take part in an Overseas Nursing Programme, and in the USA you’ll have to take either the NCLEX-RN exam, or the CGFNS exam… or both.
Finding information on how to register as an overseas nurse can be a lengthy process as much of the information is buried deep inside websites that are not dedicated to providing information to foreign nurses. You can find detailed, step-by-step instructions to moving your nursing career abroad in the Nursing-Overseas Ultimate Job Hunting System.
Do I need special qualifications?
Your nursing qualifications and any specialist training you have undertaken may not be the exact equivalent of what is required or offered of registered nurses in the country to which you are moving.
Most countries have a service you can use that will work out what your qualifications are equivalent to in their education system. For example, you can contact NARIC in the UK and they will check your qualifications against the UK standards and issue you a report.
Even if your qualifications do not transfer exactly, you will most likely be able to register as a general adult nurse. Once you are working in a nursing position overseas, you can explore whether you would like to upgrade your nursing qualifications by up-skilling in a new specialism.

Chinese is a tonal language, meaning that the same word may have 8 different meanings dependent on the tone in which it is spoken, whether or not it is high or low pitched, rising, falling or level, for example. These can be very tough for a westerner to even hear, much less master, unless they’re encircled by folks talking the language each day.
The same applies for the written language. With thousands of different pictures, learning to read and write is a huge task, but when you’re studying in China you’ve got a excellent chance to read everywhere you go. On top of the language, being submerged in the culture presents opportunities, too.
There’s no simpler way to come to realise a culture than by experiencing it firsthand. Aside from observing, you may have classes to help learn all about the entrancing Chinese history and culture. At Chinese universities you can continue your programme of study while also learning those significant facts about the Chinese language and culture. Studying right alongside Chinese scholars will open your eyes to education in a different country and will give you an appreciation of the likenesses and differences between your own country and this one. If you make a choice to do your study abroad in China you may come away with a wider view of the Earth and a better understanding of folks generally, as well as the Chinese particularly. Whether you will use your Chinese language abilities in your future life, you may definitely use other information gleaned from your China study experience.
