  1. Motivation for studying abroad Lenin Bastidas 9th May, 2017

  2. “Why study abroad?” 1. Study at a university with a strong international reputation 2. Experience life in a different culture 3. Benefit from scholarships or lower tuition fees 4. Improve your language skills 5. Start building an international professional network

  3. 1. Study at a university with a strong international reputation A major motivation for many international students is the prospect of studying at a university with a strong international reputation.

  4. 2. Experience life in a different culture • The opportunity to spend an extended period of time immersed in a culture other than their own is a huge part of the appeal of studying abroad. • The pleasure that comes from encountering new experiences and perspectives, or it could be that students are already looking ahead to their graduate careers; international experience and intercultural skills are highly valued by many employers. • May have a specific destination or culture in mind, while others may be ready to explore pretty much anywhere new.

  5. 3. Benefit from scholarships or lower tuition fees Studying abroad is certainly not always a cheaper option; indeed, for many (if not most) international students, it’s more expensive to study abroad than it would have been to stay closer to home. However, this of course depends on how the tuition fees and living costs compare in your own country and your potential study destination.

  6. 4. Improve your language skills Lots of students are also motivated to study abroad at least partly by the prospect of improving their language skills, which again can be a major asset when applying for graduate careers.

  7. 5. Start building an international professional network - friends Finally, studying abroad can be an opportunity to establish a really strong international professional network, by establishing friendships with classmates from all around the world, which will long outlast the duration of your study program.

  8. “Why Hungary?” • You get the chance to study free of charge at the most well-known universities in Hungary • Hungary is a part of the European Union; so any diplomas earned will be reputable and globally recognized • Hungary has a great location and a well-developed infrastructure, making it easy to travel around Europe • The capital, Budapest, is one of the most popular destinations among international students; and other university towns, such as Pécs, Szeged, Debrecen, Győr or Miskolc also attract students from all over the globe
