Step-by-Step Guide to Study and Work

Studying abroad can be a life-changing experience, but applying for international study programs can also be a daunting process. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know where to start. That’s why we’ve put together this step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process of studying and working abroad.

Step 1: Identifying the Purpose of Study

Step 1.1: Define or Set your Ultimate Purpose

The first step in identifying your purpose is to define or set your ultimate purpose. This may be to study a specific course at a specific university, gain work experience in a specific field, or obtain permanent residency in the country. Whatever your ultimate purpose may be, it is important to have a clear understanding of it before moving forward.

Step 1.2: Discuss with your parents or partners

Once you have defined your ultimate purpose, it is important to discuss it with your parents or partner. They may be able to provide valuable insight and support during the process. You can also decide whether your partner or parents are willing to migrate with you. Once you all agree on a goal, you can determine whether you can financially afford it and plan for the future.

Step 1.3: Lock your purpose

With your ultimate purpose defined and discussed, the next step is to lock it in. This means making a commitment to your purpose and taking the necessary steps to make it a reality.

By following these steps, you can ensure that you are making an informed decision about studying and working abroad. With a clear purpose in mind, you can begin to research and find the right program and location that will help you to achieve your goals.

Step 2: Start Preparing your English Requirements

Before applying to study and work abroad, it is important to ensure that you meet the English language requirements of the country you wish to study in. This is particularly important for countries such as Australia, England, Canada, and the United States. Most universities accept the following English tests.

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) Academic

PTE (Pearson Test of English) Academic

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)

The scores you need to obtain in these vary with universities and courses. Most courses require at least an IELTS academic score of 6.5 (equivalent to PTE 56 and TOEFL 79 to 93)

It’s important to start preparing for these requirements early so that you can meet them when the time comes.

Step 3: Spend Some Time to Do Own Research

Now that you have a clear understanding of your purpose and the English language requirements, it’s time to start researching different programs and universities. This may include looking at the available courses, the tuition cost, and the university’s location. It’s important to take the time to research different options and compare them to ensure that you find the right fit for you.

Step 4: Expression of Interest with MPath

Once you have narrowed down your options and identified the programs and universities that you wish to apply to, it’s time to submit an expression of interest (EOI) with MPath. An EOI is a formal document that shows your interest in studying and working abroad. It will include information about yourself, your qualifications, and the program or university to that you wish to apply.

Step 5: Discuss with Our MPath Counsellors

After you have submitted your EOI, it’s important to discuss your options with our MPath counsellors. They can help you to choose the right course and university, as well as provide valuable advice and support throughout the application process.

Step 6: Prepare your Application with MPath Support

With the help of our MPath counsellors, you can now prepare your application for the program or university that you have chosen. This may include providing transcripts, test scores, and other required documents. Our MPath team will support you throughout the process and ensure that your application is complete and accurate.

Step 7: Offer Acceptance

Once your application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the program or university. If you are accepted, you will receive an offer letter, which confirms your acceptance into the program or university.

Step 8: Student Visa Process

The next step in studying and working abroad is to apply for a student visa. This process can be complex, but our MPath team will guide you through it and ensure that you have all the necessary documents and information. With the help of our team, you can be confident that your student visa application will be completed accurately and efficiently.

Step 9: Ready to Fly

Once your visa is approved and you have received your offer of acceptance, it’s time to prepare for your flight. Make sure you have all the necessary travel documents, including your passport and visa, and start planning for your arrival.

Step 10: On Arrival Support by MPath

MPath will provide you with on-arrival support to help you adjust to your new environment. This may include assistance with finding accommodation, enrolling in classes, and navigating the local culture.

Step 11: MPath Guidance and Preparation for Part-time Jobs

Many international students choose to work part-time while studying abroad. MPath can help you to find and prepare for part-time jobs that will help you to gain valuable work experience and supplement your income. They will provide guidance on job search strategies, resume preparation, and interview skills.
