Study abroad is undoubtedly fashionable. Many of our compatriots seek to continue their studies in the United States, Britain, Germany, and other countries. But the question “Why?” Is often asked. Is there something in foreign education that cannot be found in our schools and universities?

The quality of education in foreign universities, work abroad, business contacts all over the world are obvious reasons why Russians choose to study in another country. But there is also an “underwater part of an iceberg” – advantages that are often undeservedly forgotten.

Reason 1: The quality of education and the ratings of foreign universities

This is the most common reason why people go to study abroad. Russian education is going through difficult times, and in many ways, it cannot cope with the requirements of the modern world. The best proof of this is the UK university rankings.

Reason 2: International Recognition of Diplomas

Graduates of US and UK universities work without additional confirmation in any country of the world. Unfortunately, in most cases, not only legalization (recognition of a diploma by the Ministry of Education of the country), but additional training is required in order to work with a specialty, with educational documents of Russian universities. The main advantage that those who go to study abroad get is a universal foundation for a future career in any country of the world.

Reason 3: It is easy to continue studying in the selected country.

For those who consider studying in a foreign school for themselves, it is usually the first step towards a university in this country. And this is justified because it is possible to enter a European or American university after school in Russia, but it is much more difficult.

It is more convenient to get used to the education system of a certain country at school, at the same time gaining the necessary balls in specialized disciplines and learning the language at the required level.

Reason 4: Preferential employment conditions after studying at a university in the country

Most countries in Europe and America are loyal to yesterday’s students who want to work in them after graduation. Student visas usually provide an additional grace period of stay in the country for up to 6 months.

Reason 5: Independence, Responsibility, and Initiative

The approach of learning in universities in Canada differs from the Russian one. School students are provided with excellent opportunities for development in the area of interest. For example, he can independently choose disciplines to study beyond the basic plan.

The main task of schooling is not only to teach the child a basic set of knowledge, but rather to learn to think, reason, and work independently with information. Another feature of the education of the nature of the student – personal responsibility for learning.

Nobody forces students to study in good private schools and success from an early age depends not only on the subject teachers but also on themselves. Thus, a character is formed that helps the student to study at the university, and the young specialist to take the first steps along the career ladder.
