With admission pressures on local educational institutions, students are increasingly opting to study abroad. An average of 11,000 South Africans study overseas each year, says Brent Morris, managing director at Sable International Study Abroad.
“Most students want to expand their study options with a view to obtaining an internationally recognised qualification, building a business network, then working internationally and even applying for permanent residence or citizenship.”
“And that’s just tuition. When taking your budget into consideration, you should also factor in what your living costs will be. Let’s say you study in Mauritius, you’re looking at an additional $3,000 to $6,000. While in the UK that cost can skyrocket to $15,000, and to $30,000 in the US.”South Africans often choose to go to the UK to study, and this number is expected to increase with the introduction of the new graduate visa route, said Sable International.
“Once you have shortlisted the universities you are considering, the next step will be to submit your applications. All the relevant documents need to be verified, you need to keep in mind all application dates and know just what each university needs from you.”
