How to Choose the Right University and Program from Nepal:
Pursuing higher studies abroad? You’re not alone! Thousands of Nepali students migrate every year, seeking world-class education, international exposure, and better career prospects. But one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever face in your life is this:
Which university and program do I choose?
We are with you every step of the way at Foreign Education and Visa Services. We’re here to guide you with a step-by-step approach to help you choose the right university and course that fits your aspirations, goals, and budget.
1: Know Yourself – Your Interests and Strengths
Before you start looking for universities, ask yourself these questions:
- What subjects really excite you?
- What are your academic strengths?
- Are you inclined towards research, practical, or both?
- What profession can you envision yourself in?
Tip: Choosing an area of study only because it’s popular or your friends are doing it is a mistake made by many. Choose what appeals to your interests and future ambition.
2: Choose Your Destination Nation Each country offers a different study experience as well as post-study opportunities. Here’s a quick contrast:
| Country | Highlights |
| Australia | Premium education, PR opportunities |
| Canada | Affordable, multicultural, PR opportunities |
| UK | Internationally recognized degrees, 2-year PSW |
| USA | Best universities, research experience |
| New Zealand | Quiet, secure, student-friendly |
Still confused? Our counselors at Foreign Education and Visa Services can help you compare based on your academic background and budget.
3: Research Universities – Not Just Rankings!
- Rankings matter—but so do:
- Course content and flexibility
- Internship opportunities
- Campus location and lifestyle
- Scholarships and tuition fees
- Support for international students
Tip: A mid-tier university with good industry connections can offer you greater job exposure than a high-ranked one with little practical experience.
4: Shortlist the Right Course
- Ask yourself:
- Is the course relevant to your career goals?
- Is it in demand in the industry?
- Are the entry points?
- Does it lead to a good ROI (Return on Investment)?
✨ Whether it’s IT, Nursing, Engineering, Business, or Hospitality that you wish to pursue, our seasoned staff can help you select the perfect fit from your background and career ambitions.
5: Consider Cost and Scholarships
Study abroad is not cheap—but it doesn’t have to break the bank!
- Compare fees for tuition and living
- Look for merit-based and need-based scholarships
- Consider working part-time in the host country
