Ready to Study Abroad? Answer These 5 Questions First
At Edge Concept, we help students from all over the world secure admission into top universities in the UK, Canada, and Australia. But before you begin your application, it’s important to determine if you’re truly ready for the journey ahead.
This quick guide will help you reflect and decide if studying abroad is right for you.
1. Do You Have a Clear Academic or Career Goal?
Studying abroad is a major investment, so it’s important that your course aligns with your long-term goals.
Ask yourself:
- Are you trying to change careers or grow in your current field?

2. Do You Meet the Basic Requirements?
To qualify for most postgraduate programs, you typically need:
- A Bachelor’s degree or HND
- A minimum of 2:2 or Lower Credit (depending on course and university)
- Proof of English proficiency (WAEC English, IELTS, or equivalent)
You can also check the UK student visa requirements for more information.
3. Are You Financially Ready?
While we work with affordable schools offering low deposits and payment plans, studying abroad still requires financial preparation.
Here’s a general overview of tuition and deposit expectations:
| Country | Annual Tuition | Initial Deposit |
|---|---|---|
| UK | £12,000 – £16,000 | £3,000 – £5,000 |
| Canada | CAD 14,000 – 18,000 | CAD 3,000 – 5,000 |
| Australia | AUD 20,000+ | AUD 5,000+ |
