Studijas ārzemēs

Have you always dreamed of traveling to nice places, meeting lots of different people and maybe picking up a language or two?

Apart from the excitement of travel, one reason to study abroad is an opportunity to experience new customs, holidays, food, arts, music and politics firsthand. Another reason for studying abroad is to gain self-confidence. Living far away from home helps you to adjust to college life and adulthood faster. Studying abroad will also improve your intercultural communication skills enormously.

The representatives of the Hakes get acquainted with the educational programmes and conditions in foreign schools before entering into any kind of agreement with them. During the evaluation process of the schools we also visit lectures and are happy to report that these differ greatly from what we can experience at home. We also interview international students already studying at the courses and school staff. In brief we would like to bring forth that the conditions of the schools are much more student oriented. Our representatives are very satesfied with the study environment and the quality of education provided by the selected higher education institutions you can apply through Hakes.

Choosing the right programme

Choosing the right programme is not easy. To make this decision-making process easier, start off by asking yourself what your interests are and what is important to you. Do you know what your capabilities and aspirations are? Are you looking for vocational or academic training? Once you have decided on matters such as these, you can start looking for a programme that is right for you.

Start off early by exploring your options and figuring out what studies you want to do. This can save you a lot of time, money, and disappointment. Have a look at a wide variety of programmes, gather information on the internet, ask questions. Furthermore, talking to a student of the programme that has your interest will give you a good impression of what the programme is really like. Other issues worth thinking about are the learning environment and the city in which you will be studying.

It is also adviseable to look at future job opportunities. However, never let your final decision depend on this factor alone. The labour market is ever-changing and it is impossible to know in advance whether you will find a job in your preferred line of work. Moreover, you will want to find a job that you find interesting. It is therefore wise to talk to people who work in your field of interest.
