Those who are interested in post-graduation abroad should plan ahead of time. Remember, it might take at least 1 year to fully understand the whole process and then get the chance to have the admission. I would like to share my personal views on the steps for preparing for higher education abroad. Step 1. Determine your subject and what type of degree (Coursework or Research or a blend) you want to achieve with self-conviction. Step 2. Make a list of the countries where you want to study. Because depending on the country, admission requirements, funding sources, application and admission process and graduation time change. All these are vital considerable facts to make a plan in accordance with your need. For example, not all country requires GRE for application and if you choose such a country and take full-time GRE preparation, you are wasting your time. Again, in the UK most of the Masters programs are one-year but in Australia, the minimum length of Masters is 1.5 yea
