Studying abroad is the most exciting experience in a student's life. Students during this time can engage in cultural exchanges, develop new skill sets, and create tons of memories. Universities around the world offer the opportunity for students to immerse themselves in a global scenario. In this blog we are going to discuss Alfa Beta’s Study Abroad Dream Team which consists of the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland to name a few . With unique experiences, these countries are the top choices for students in Nepal.
First up, the United States of America. This is one of the most sought after destinations worldwide for students looking to pursue higher education. Universities consisting of the IVY Leagues, top ranked universities, and best programs in the world, the USA offers a wide variety of programs for students to pick and choose from. Their education is mostly research based that provides students to develop their critical skills, be innovative, and push them out of their comfort zones.
Hosting people from all over the world, it is one of the most diverse countries in the world. The feeling of belonging and inclusivity is high along with the numerous extracurriculars to occupy and cater to a hands-on learning approach. Internship opportunities during their bachelor’s, and an OPT program or Optional Practice Training program allows students time to gain exposure in their related field of study. All these factors contribute to making the US a top destination in Alfa Beta’s study abroad dream team.

Second destination to provide students an explosion of experience is the United Kingdom. With a rich history, pristine universities like the Oxford University, the UK hosts people from around the world. The UK offers students an environment to learn in a leading reach-based and technology-focused environment providing students access to ample resources and facilities. The country’s focus on academic excellence and independent learning sets the country apart from other destinations in the world. Similar to the USA, the UK is an excellent place for students to build on their innovative thoughts, and critical problem solving skills. It is also a best fit for students who want to take a shorter duration for their courses as the undergraduate program generally lasts for 3 years and the master’s program runs for a year. Students can enjoy a year of early admission to the work force or can choose to take a year gap to complete their education. Since the duration of the courses are shorter, the financing for their studies are also cheaper in comparison to the USA. Post graduation work opportunities are provided to international students so as to implement their knowledge in real time.
Third on our list is Australia. Known for its high quality education and multicultural society, Australia hosts world ranked universities like the University of Melbourne, University of Sydney and more. For the Nepalese, Australia is a popular destination as the country emphasizes practicality in their learning and research by facilitating students with ample resources and facilities. It is one of the most inclusive environments to be in and is considered an ideal place for international students. There is a wide range of scholarships available for students easing the financial process. The country also allows post-study work visas which allows graduates to work in the country for 4 years exposing them to experience.
Canada is our fourth destination that we recommend at Alfa Beta for international students. The country hosts universities like the University of Toronto, McGill University, and University of British Columbia, that provide excellent education and exposure to its students. The quality in life is high in Canada along with inclusive immigration policies. With a strong emphasis on accepting people no matter the gender, culture, age, and more, Canada has created a safe environment for people to be who they are without any hesitation. Students can enjoy post graduation work permits for 3 years in the subject that they have studied.

Fifth on our list is Germany with their world competent education system especially in STEM. Germany focuses on research and innovation as it is home to many world renowned innovations. The education system is fully facilitated and rigorous so students who love STEM are encouraged to apply. Universities like the University of Munich, Heidelberg University are renowned worldwide. A major influencing factor for students looking to apply to Germany is the low or no tuition fees at public universities. This makes the country affordable and livable with access to high quality of life. They also offer multiple scholarships to students so financing is not a big problem. Students can get work opportunities after they complete their education.
Our last Dream Team country is Ireland. This country has recently emerged in our list as a popular destination for fields like technology, business, and arts. With strong research and academic programs, the country provides international students with a well-rounded education to facilitate their practical knowledge. With vibrant cultures, friendly people and beautiful landscapes, the country offers post study work opportunities to students for up to 2 years after graduation. A plus point for students in IT and engineering is the lucrative job prospects that are available.
