BEFORE DEPARTURE FOR STUDY ABROAD
There are many ways of organizing and financing your study abroad. It is important to investigate all possibilities and to begin planning early. You can start by asking yourself the following questions:
• What is my reason for study abroad?
• Where would I like to study?
• During which semester of my study program can I go abroad?
• Which courses do I want to take/must I take?
• How can I finance my trip and stay abroad?
