Discussing your study goals

Now that you are clear on the career you will pursue, your education agent will discuss your academic options. Your counsellor has a great deal of knowledge about local education providers, entry requirements, English skills expected, unique services they may offer, and the best courses for your education journey. Together, you will discuss topics including:

• what type of qualification you will work towards – degree, diploma, certificate, etc
• the type of institution you want to attend – public or private university or college, English school, etc
• the timetable you would like – ie day classes only
• cost associated with each program being considered
• the environment you prefer to live and study in – city or regional, small or large institution, etc.
• services you expect from your education provider – paid internships, social activities, accommodation support, employment support, industry connections, etc.
