This was published May 22, 2017. I accessed this website on March 20, 2018. This website allows you to find information about Studying Abroad (“Benefits”). This article is about the benefits you will gain while studying abroad (“Benefits”). “It will change your life. You will come back being a new person” (“Benefits”). Study abroad influences career paths and self-confidence of students. While traveling overseas, you will learn more about yourself than you think. Some of the lifetime benefits you will earn from this experience are “intercultural, academic, and personal growth development” (“Benefits”). Studying abroad will help you become a leader. It will help you have a better understanding of other cultures and have a better understanding of yourself. If you study abroad and learn other cultures you will respect your own more and want to carry on your

encourage young people to move to the megacities to seek better educational opportunities. The universities in the urban areas of the big cities have attractive facilities, which promote students to move to the urban areas. They have a highly stander educational system, international purposeful teaching methods, highly professional academic staff and research institutions for postgraduate students. In addition, they have unrestricted academic choices; the students can select exactly what they want to study. For example the University of Glasgow and the all universities in the UK are committed to provide a high quality of education to the students by excellent learning methods and good facilities of research culture (University Strathclyde Glasgow, NA). Moreover, Capello, Olechnicka and Gorzela (2013) suggest that higher learning education activities and scientific research facilities are unequally distributed within countries; the activities are focused more on universities of the big cities. This illustrates that the students will join the highly standard and qualified universities to have their benefits. In addition, the universities in the megacities have enough relaxing areas which help students to relive stress and achieve their educational goals and a big campus with multiple entertainment facilities and multiple uses. Karna and Julin (2015) believe that servicers and facilities in Campus University for students and staff are used to support the main educational gal

When the Open University of the United Kingdom (OU UK) opened its ‘doors’ in 1969 it was considered a revolution in higher education by many pedagogues. In the forty years that followed 80 similar higher open education institutes were established (Peters, O. 2010, p57-81). The common denominator of this new generation of distance universities is that they are open. During the OU UK inauguration Lord Crowther stated: “We are open ‘as to people’; ‘as to places’; ‘as to methods’; and finally ‘to ideas’” (cf. Tunstall 1974, in Peters, O. 2010, p 62). What this openness entails, depends largely on the social, economic, and political circumstances in the country in which an open university is founded. Two former British colonies and members of the Common Wealth, Canada and Pakistan, were among the

The world undeniably becomes “smaller” and “tighter” due to the prosperity of technology and economics, by population movement, information exchange, as well as physical and virtual good trade-offs. In order to be successful when facing the opportunities and challenges in the global and informational age, it is not only helpful but even necessary to use international comparison as an effective public policy tool for administrators and policymakers in the field of Higher Education. Without using international comparison, the educational development speed and potential might be decreased, possible problems happened in other countries might be repeated in our country with large scales of cost and the whole country’s international soft strength and competitive capability might be threatened because of comparatively less competitive human capital, which is mainly produced from higher education.

Leading a better job is one of the reason why students should get their study abroad. Those students who get their education outside have the tendency to be clearer about the life and career decisions they want. Furthermore, studying abroad will provide students with a particular attitude toward their scholastic job. Moreover, student could gain a personal growth through their adventure abroad. New abilities are obtained from living outside like responsibility and self-reliance. According to Martin Tillman (2011, p.2), a president at global career compass, in “AJFS students guide to study abroad and career development”, international education may lead to a better understanding of career decisions, and better attitude on actions following

Studying abroad is a learning option in which a group travels around the world while examining the cultures of the places being visited. The points that will be focused on in this paper are the following: how studying abroad is the best learning option, how it compares to college life, and how it will prove to be more beneficial after schooling. In the section about studying abroad being the best learning option, there will be comparisons the between learning programs on an average college campus and the study abroad program. The section comparing the study abroad to college life will explore the daily agenda of a campus student and a student on the study abroad program.

The primary objective of this special project is to present a critical review of comparative research into the impact of globalisation on higher education (HE) in the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia. Emphasis will be placed on the historical and political-economic causes of globalisation and the associated neo-liberal ideology which is closely aligned with economic globalisation. It is intended to compare and contrast each impact’s effect and potentially explain similarities and differences despite the complexity of the subject matter. Additionally, the paper will provide an assessment, based on current literature and research, of the experience of each country in order to fathom how country-specific factors have differentiated each country’s response and adaptation to the demands of globalisation on higher education. It will provide examples from each country which demonstrate how that country has adapted its HE practices to accommodate globalisation and participate in an increasingly competitive global economy and knowledge-based societies.

Research Problem: Higher education within the UK has an ongoing predicament of class related inequalities with teenager’s expectations of going university. In the 20th Century there has been a drastic transformation within the UK with regards to higher education. Yet Ball et al (2002), suggests that “expectations of attending higher education is still determined by social class”. This study researches how young people’s class and family’s educational background impacts their opportunity of further education. Teenagers are likely to have the mentality that if their family went to university, then it is accepted they will attend university without consideration.

Nowadays, there has been an increasing trend toward studying abroad among students, especially the ones from developing countries where their education systems are not as advanced as the one of developed countries. People hold different opinions about the positive and negative aspects of studying overseas. Some argue that there are several challenges and difficulties when living in a totally strange land that causes students not to concentrate absolutely on their living. Others, however, assert that pursuing educational opportunities overseas is a life-transforming chance. I find the latter opinion more convincing because of the advantages of learning a new language and culture, improving self-reliant skill as well as

They will continue education in higher level of it some students have their own reasons to stay near their family and start to study in one of the normal universities in their own country, while parents have different opinions and discussions about not studying abroad, some students believe that if they want something they never had, they have to do something they never did. In addition, under consideration the globalization of educational industry is becoming a trend, they will start applying for the university of their dreams.

As we know most of the students prefer to go abroad for their higher studies than studying at home with what is available. Studying abroad definitely challenges us on a personal level.

In the last century, the contemporary world has become more globalized than before. There has been a worldwide integration in different fields of life such as economic, political, business, trade, financial, and educational fields. In order to deal with this globalization, students, in all over the world, should be opened to other countries and cultures which exceed the boundary of their nation. Studying abroad, which means leaving the homeland country and pursuing the education in another country ( Dervin&Byron, 2008), could be one of the ways for the students to explore this globalized world. It has been mentioned by the Institute of International Education (IIE) that in the last two decades the number of students studying abroad worldwide has tripled (Lieb, 2016). Should students be more encouraged
