When making the decision to study abroad it’s important to weigh up both the advantages & disadvantages.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When it comes to planning anything, it is only natural that we fantasise about the most glamorous aspects, so before you start planning for studying abroad we\u2019ve put together some key points for you to consider.<\/p>\n

Advantages<\/h3>\n

Quality education. <\/strong>Studying abroad can give you better learning opportunities, where you can receive the best quality education, by broadening your mind, learning new skills and expanding your knowledge. When it comes to programs, you will have lots more options. At DIFC we have a range of International Foundation Year Courses<\/a> to choose from.<\/p>\n

Learn a new Language. <\/strong>This is an excellent opportunity to study in a country where they don\u2019t speak your native language. By immersing yourself in your new study destination, you will find yourself picking up new phrases and sayings and before you know it you will be well on your way to becoming fluent, which will be hugely advantageous later when seeking employment.<\/p>\n

Independent lifestyle. <\/strong>Studying abroad will help you become more independent as it takes you out of your comfort zone as you become more self-efficient. This also allows you to develop personally and become a more confident individual. You never know, you could surprise yourself and be able to do a lot more by yourself than you initially thought!<\/p>\n

Looks impressive on your CV. <\/strong>When an employer looks at your CV and sees that you have studied abroad, it shows them that you are a well-travelled individual, who has developed an international outlook\/global perspective.<\/p>\n

Experience of a lifetime.<\/strong> Living and studying abroad can broaden your perspective on life. You will make lots of new friends and have loads of great stories for all your friends at home.<\/p>\n
