Study Abroad Expo 2015: Ignite Your Journey to Global Education
10/10/2015
Every time people find out that I am working as a professional nurse, the most usual question that follows after revolves around any future plans of relocating or working abroad. I guess that's what they usually expect from most nurses here in the Philippines - to take root in greener pastures by working abroad, but oblivious to many, I want to achieve another degree in another country instead. I'm just crossing fingers for that perfect time to come.
Achieving another degree from a prestigious university abroad will definitely give you an edge in life. Not only will it make you land on your dream job, but with perseverance, competence and determination, it surely will take you places. Also, as far as academics and professional career are concerned, studying abroad offers a unique opportunity to discover yourself and grow as an individual, all while gaining an understanding of a bigger world around you. Immersing yourself in a new language, a new culture, and a tradition that’s poles apart from your own, imparts valuable learnings that are beyond what any classroom can offer.
There’s nothing like
spreading your wings and expanding your horizon to gain a wider, valuable new
outlook. It allows you to have a broader and richer perspective of the world
you live in, which in turn equips you with the ability to adapt to, and deal
with, diverse situations—an important ingredient to success.
However, studying abroad is not an easy feat. There are various things that you need to know and understand, and processes that you must exhaust before such dream comes into fruition.
To help interested students jumpstart their global education, IDP Philippines present Flight IDP: Study Abroad Expo 2015, which will take place in three different locations:
IDP Philippines has already paved the way for students to earn a degree abroad. Take note for example this story of Maria Ara Garcia.
A young lawyer who
recently graduated from the UP College of Law, Maria Ara Garcia wanted to
continue her studies and pursue a Masters in environmental law abroad. Making
this decision was one thing; getting herself into a program at her chosen
university is a completely different story.
Armed with a strong
determination to make her dream happen, Garcia sought the help of IDP Philippines,
one of the leading providers of global education services and IELTS exams in
the country. It was through her cousin who was also successfully placed by the
organization at a university abroad that she found out about its services, and
she couldn’t be more grateful that she was introduced. “IDP guided me through
every step of the way, from the university application to the accomplishment of
my student visa requirements. They provided me with everything I needed to know
and answered all my questions,” says Garcia. “It was also a major factor how they were very easy to get in touch with, and would reply almost
immediately through email, text, or phone call. And they help you out for free,
unlike other student placement agencies who charge fees for their services. All
these really made the application process a lot more convenient.”
Garcia, who has
always dreamt of living in New Zealand, is now studying at the University of
Auckland, which is home to one of the best Environmental Law programs in the Asia-Pacific
region. “I have just finished a semi-intensive class called
Mining and Natural Resources Law. The course was taught by a very prominent
lawyer and widely-published author specialising in environmental law. Last
month, we went on a field trip to the gold mines and wind farms in Northern
Auckland. It was a very enjoyable and educational trip and I am very thankful
to have been part of it,” she shares excitedly.
Garcia adds: “I have learned a lot about the environmental laws in New
Zealand and I have gotten to know the culture of my new home and gained friends
of various nationalities in the process. I’m so glad I found out about IDP who
provided me with the aid that I needed in my application process and helped
make a way for me to fulfill my dreams.”
To hear more stories and learn more about studying abroad, IDP is providing free
