Should you study at the Indian campus of a global university? Overseas Education Consultants

Should you study at the Indian campus of a global university?

The-Red-Pen-Education-Consultants-Mumbai
As global universities set up campuses across the world or affiliate with local universities in various countries, you may ask yourself “Why should I go all the way to America or Canada or the UK to study? Why not join one of these campuses closer to home?” While the countries of origin may have a lot to offer in terms of tradition and established reputation, an affiliate or satellite program may suit your purposes just as well, or better, by offering different dimension to your experience.

Right within India there are a number of colleges, degree programs and short courses set up by global education brands. For example Parsons has collaborated with the Indian School of Design and Innovation (ISDI) to build a creative network. While the transfer to Parson’s New York is not guaranteed, the exposure to a innovative teaching methods, diverse faculty and the rigors of the design process may give you a better sense of whether you are cut out for a creative education and career. Should you elect to stay at ISDI the curriculum will equip you with best-in-class thinking methods and skills that you can leverage anywhere in the world.

New York Film Academy is also starting courses in film making and acting for film in Mumbai. If these short courses gain traction, who knows, maybe full degree courses are not far behind. If you’re interested in working in the Indian film industry, enrolling in the courses here, rather than New York or L.A. could connect you with the right network and set you on a path within the local industry from the start, without the visa hassles involved in employment abroad.

Besides creative industries, the local entrant on the college scene is Ashoka University whose collaborators include nine of the world’s top universities. This collaboration extends into curriculum development, visiting faculty and student exchange opportunities. Those opportunities go both ways, so the mix of students and faculty on campus promises to move beyond the usual pan-India diversity to include students from France (Science Po), The US (UPenn, UC Berkeley, Wellesley and others) and the UK (Kings College and Trinity College Dublin).

Just beyond India’s borders are some other excellent options as well – Northwestern University’s campus in Qatar offers nearby access to its bachelor’s degrees in journalism and communications, considered to be among the best in the world. Studying in Doha rather than Chicago allows you to immerse yourself in global affairs from within the region. Also the country’s commitment to resourcing the Education City, where the campus is located, ensures access to the latest communication technology and state-of-the-art facilities.

New York University’s (NYU) Campus in Abu Dhabi (NYU-AD) reflects a similar investment and commitment to bringing the best education infrastructure and talent to the region; Indian students can certainly benefit from this. In addition NYU- AD attracts students from around the world resulting in a truly diverse campus experience, in contrast to NYU in the US where the cultural exposure and peer interaction is primarily American.

Recently China has also joined several global education partners to bring top-notch institutions to its students at home. NYU’s other global campus in Shanghai was set up to connect NYU’s traditional academic excellence with the cultural richness and intellectual opportunity represented by China. An experience at this campus offers you exposure to pan-Asian issues from within an American educational framework. Duke University also opened a campus in Kunshan this year, intending to “address the changing needs of global higher education.” It is an excellent choice for a student who wants to learn in a hands-on, meaningful environment in a new culture. Finally, Yale NUS offers an intense US-style learning experience in Singapore.

Each of these opportunities offers something unique, specific and different from a traditional Indian college experience. Even if your reason for considering one of these programmes was initially to stay closer to home, you might come away enriched in multifaceted ways in the bargain.

Letters of recommendation: Leave nothing to chance - Study Abroad Consultants

 Letters of recommendation: Leave nothing to chance   As you prepare your applications for study programs abroad – whether bachelors, masters or MBA – you are likely focused on your personal essays, college selection and standardized testing. Each of these is an extremely important part of the application process and should not be overlooked. However, another critical aspect of your application will be the letter of recommendation (LOR). Do not make the mistake of thinking that all you need to do is request an LOR and the recommender will do the rest. Your LOR, like everything else, requires planning and attention from you. Why are LORs important? Carefully cultivating your recommendation letter is important because it is a third party endorsement of you and also often serves as a corroboration of other parts of your application. US undergraduate admissions officers say that that recommendation is the single-most influential factor in admissions decisions at selective colleg

Understanding the new SAT & how international students can prepare for it |College Admission Consulting Services & Education Consultants in Mumbai

Understanding the new SAT & how international students can prepare for it When The College Board announced they would be transitioning to a new format for the SAT starting in March of 2016, it set off a flurry of questions for students around the world. Updates in 2005 and 2009 had included radical changes to the format, additions to the writing section, an expanded math section and shifting of the score range from 1600 to 2400. Now, the test format has returned to an optional writing section, rather than a mandatory one, a new philosophy behind the math section, and the score range has returned to 1600. But beyond that, the very test itself has a different ethos, which could be confusing to students all over the world. Many worried that this new version would once again overturn testing standards and put students at a disadvantage on a test that is so vital to the admissions process of US colleges. The logic behind this re-design, however, at least as the College Board expl

Deferred from your early applications to the US? Tips for what you can do - College Prep and Undergraduate Study Abroad Consultants in Mumbai, India

Deferred from your early applications to the US? Tips for what you can do A few weeks have gone by since you got that letter stating that you have been deferred from the US early admission round. Being deferred isn’t a straight out rejection; it simply means that your application will be reconsidered in the regular decision round and you will get a final decision by April. Why do universities defer? There are many reasons why universities defer students. For example, your university might want to see what else you are doing in your final year in terms of academics or extracurricular activities. Another reason you could have been deferred is if you haven’t submitted your test scores, letters of recommendations, transcripts or any other required document by the submission deadline. Alternately, some universities have too many applicants in the early admission round and want to wait till the regular decision to build their class. Whatever the reason, the ambiguity can be unsettli
