1 GET TO KNOW A NEW CULTURE There is no better way of getting to know a new country or culture than by living in it for an extended period of time. Getting to know another culture will give you a whole new perspective towards your own culture as well. 2 GAIN NEW SKILLS Studying abroad gives you the chance to learn new skills. While your studies equip you with the hard skills of your chosen field, adapting to the local culture and learning as much as you can outside the classroom will help you develop the much-needed soft skills required to thrive in a globalized world. 3 IMPROVE YOUR CAREER PROSPECTS Having knowledge of a foreign country and culture is a definite asset in the job market of today. Studying abroad teaches you flexibility, language skills, problem-solving skills and intercultural competence, which are all highly valued by employers. 4 MAKE LIFELONG FRIENDS Studying abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime Student experience. Like all experiences, it is best Quotes when shared. You will meet students from many different countries who are in the same situation as you: taking a step outside of their comfort zone to explore a new environment. You will also get to meet local students who are eager to show you their country and culture. 5 LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT YOURSELF Studying abroad gives you a chance to explore how it is to be truly independent. Often it is only when we leave our familiar environment that we discover who we truly are and what we truly care about. 7
