Susan Slobac advises college students on study abroad opportunities in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
Whether working on a Bachelors, Masters or Ph.D, students can take advantage of expanded educational opportunities by enrolling in a degree program abroad. There are many options, including transferring credits already earned at your home university or working towards your full degree abroad.
Pursuing a degree program abroad carries benefits that extend beyond the academic. Students find the experience of studying in an international setting lends weight to their credentials making them more marketable when it comes time to search for employment.
In addition to career benefits, enrollment in a degree program abroad provides personal benefits not possible with domestically-based degree programs. In addition to classroom study, students are exposed to their host nation’s culture on a daily basis. This immersion has a profound impact on students’ perspectives that carries over into every aspect of their lives.
Why Study in Australia or New Zealand?
When pursuing a degree program abroad, it is critical for students to match their educational and career goals with a strong academic program. Universities in both Australia and New Zealand are internationally recognized for the quality of their programs as well as for the innovation of their teaching methods. In addition, those studying in New Zealand and Australia enjoy the widely-recognized diversity of their degree programs.
Students completing a degree in Australia or at a New Zealand university find the programs are internationally recognized and respected. This is extremely beneficial whether students elect to pursue post-graduate study or begin careers.
The Benefits of Enrolling in a New Zealand or Australia Degree Program
While most degree programs abroad provide academic and career benefits, choosing to study in New Zealand or Australia’s colleges carry additional benefits.
Educational systems in the South Pacific are keenly targeted. As a result, working toward a degree in Australia or New Zealand takes less time than in other countries. This intense approach allows students to focus on their chosen area of study with less emphasis on general electives. The typical New Zealand and Australia Bachelor’s degree takes three years to complete, for example.
In addition, less entrance exams are required to pursue a degree in Australia or New Zealand. An SAT or ACT is commonly required for entrance into a Bachelor’s program, however universities in the South Pacific do not require GRE entrance exams.
Finally, students find it actually costs less to pursue a degree in Australia as well as New Zealand. In addition to the less time consuming degree programs, these South Pacific nations offer a less expensive cost of living then North American nations.
