UNIABROAD: The Company That Is Helping Indian Students Realise Their International Education Dreams

The number of students moving to study abroad has witnessed massive growth over the years. Given the better quality of education, flexible education system and better career prospects, India ranks second when it comes to countries with the greatest number of students studying abroad. In 2019, this number was 800,000 and it is forecasted that the number will increase up to 1.8 million by 2024. There are many Indian students who harbour the dream of studying at a reputed university abroad. However, very few of them get to realize this dream. Simply put, they go through many complications and obstacles in the process.

UNIABROAD is one company that has been working towards making the dream of studying abroad for Indian students come alive. It is not only helping students secure admission to a university of their choice, it is also making all the necessary arrangements to ensure they do not face any issues while studying in a foreign land. UNIABROAD is the brainchild of its founder and CEO Vikas Murulidhara who wanted to create an entity that would offer adequate support to students planning to study abroad.

Talking about the vision behind UNIABROAD, the founder Vikas Murulidhara says, “What makes UNIABROAD different from companies in this segment is that we offer end-to-end support to students who wish to pursue a course of their choice in a foreign university. Apart from helping them get admission to a university and secure their visa, we also take effective measures to ensure that they feel comfortable while adjusting to a new country and university. In a way, we act as their friend, guide and support system during the entire process.”

Whenever a student is about to move abroad for pursuing a course, they seek guidance and advice from people in their vicinity. However, when you are about to do something that is new or different for you, you reach out to people who know the way. What makes UNIABROAD unique is the fact that it is a company designed and managed by alumni of international universities. They were in the same shoes a few years ago and know what you’ve been going through. Therefore, they tell you exactly what you need to do to get the best out of the opportunity you have landed.

Elaborating on the same, the Operational Manager, Tarun Kumar says, “It is quite natural for students to feel a little nervous and confused when they are about to move into a new country. The nervousness, however, will be much lesser if they get the right guidance and have some clarity about what they are getting into. A majority of our destination experts have graduated, worked or stayed abroad. As a result, we can provide students with real-world experiences. We help students realize their dream of studying in universities based in different countries like UK, USA, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Spain, Australia and Dubai. We partner with more than 300 universities offering 100000+ courses.”

One of the things that have drawn a large number of students to UNIABROAD is the fact that the company offers a variety of high-quality services at zero cost. The company has a dedicated platform in the form of UNILEARN that helps students make the necessary preparations to qualify for their language prerequisites and improve their communication skills. This service, like any other service provided by UNIABROAD, is offered free of cost.

“We are headquartered in Oxford, UK, and have Indian offices located in multiple locations. Our corporate office is in Mysuru, Karnataka and branch office is based in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Students want counselling or guidance when they plan to apply for admission to a foreign university. However, a lot of the companies are not very accessible. We have addressed this issue and therefore, we cater to PAN India students by providing counselling and end-to-end admission support through our physical and virtual office”, says founder Vikas Murulidhara.

The success of a company such as UNIABROAD is mirrored in the success of the students it has assisted. 90% of the students, who have applied through UNIABROAD, have received significant scholarships. With the help of UNIABROAD, students can discover and apply for thousands of international scholarships and get assistance with education loans too. The mentorship provided by the company is not limited to university acceptance. With a dedicated post-admission support team, students get continued support even after their admission process so they don’t have to worry about anything. That’s how UNIABROAD is every aspiring international student’s one-stop destination.

Having set its eye on the horizon of success, UNIABROAD is marching ahead in creating a world where everyone has access to quality education.

5 Common Challenges for Indian students who plan to Study Abroad and how Canam helps students overcome them?

5 Common Challenges for Indian students who plan to Study Abroad and how Canam helps students overcome them?

In today’s time, when globalization is at its peak, having an international degree has become more crucial than ever. Studying abroad widens the horizons of knowledge and provides a platform to excel on the world stage. A degree from top international institutes can open doors to exceptional career opportunities. History is a witness to how quality education from these international institutes has nurtured geniuses and formed great leaders!

Today, when there are numerous college and country options, studying abroad can be a dream difficult to realize without the right guidance and assistance on facts and outcomes. Choosing to study overseas springs up a loop of questions, uncertainties, and challenges. Only a reliable, experienced, and successful international education consultancy can have the students’ back! While it is not easy to pick one among many options out there, with the majority of them assuring success, it needs meticulous research before finalizing a consultancy, especially when a huge amount of tuition fee and international living cost is involved!

5 Common Challenges for students who plan to study abroad:-

Overcoming the Fear of what others say

Moving abroad for further studies can be hard because one’s career and future goals depend on this sole decision. One needs constant affirmations and support to start the new phase of life, as it makes a person anxious sometimes. While it is good to take advice from friends and relatives, one should not forget that personal growth usually happens when faced with challenging situations and by stepping out of our comfort zone. So one should look at the brighter side of things, focus on what can go right, have a plan B & C if something goes wrong, and not get swayed from achieving one’s career goals.

Too many University/ Program options

The most important step in studying abroad is choosing the right university and program. But figuring out the ‘right’ sometimes becomes confusing and is one of the most difficult challenges for students. While there is no wrong or right way of choosing between options, it is more about realizing what suits and interests them and how would they acquire the most appropriate skills based on current abilities and if they are eligible for a particular program. Also, the geographic location and employment opportunities around would be a big consideration.

Managing of Finances

Managing the finances is one of the students’ major challenges when choosing a study option abroad. Tuition fees are not the only burden that a student has to bear, but also the accommodation, travel, living, and any medical costs year after year. Therefore, it becomes important to look for relevant programs/universities offering merit-based or need-based scholarships to international students and co-op programs that facilitate paid work while studying. These employers also act as references for later employment.

Dealing with Paperwork

Every institution has unique criteria for admitting students to a particular program. One must check the official website of the concerned University/College and carefully go through the list of the documents required at the time of application submission. In addition, some student profiles and some special programs need extra documentation to support a successful admission.

Most universities abroad ask for English proficiency scores from internationally recognized tests like IELTS, TOEFL, etc. Thus, it is advisable to start preparation in advance.

Fear of Failure

Fear is a natural reaction to something we do not understand fully or is new to us. Moving to a new country and leaving behind friends, family, and country sounds scary at first, as this is a new experience for most students. Moving abroad alone and living there requires maturity and the ability to take on the responsibilities to succeed in life. Real success can be achieved with passion, action, and faith in oneself despite the anxiety. In fact, anxiety helps one to remain alert, and be prepared for all contingencies.
