Remember to do your research if you are going to study abroad

Recognise that application processes for postgraduate courses vary all around the world. Some countries will ask for different documents or have their own centralised system, like UCAS in the UK. Get in touch with the course provider directly if you’re ever unsure about what is required.
Check how specific qualifications will be recognised in the country you eventually want to work. Some jobs require specific qualifications, and in some countries, these qualifications are accredited or approved by a professional body.
Use websites like Prospects, FindAMasters and FindAPhD to research postgraduate study options around the world.
