Worried Mom Seeks Guidance: Sending B.Com Graduate Son to Europe for Higher Studies

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear that your son is currently studying in the 10th grade. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that studying overseas will offer your son access to a world of endless opportunities. Although certain programs are designed keeping secondary school students in mind, you would be glad to know that summer programs or pre-college programs designed specifically for younger students, in turn, offering them exposure to a variety of academic disciplines, cultural backgrounds, as well as various events in life, are offered by a number of colleges and institutions. I would recommend that your son looks into the language immersion classes, summer study programs, as well as the exchange programs that these academic institutions and universities have to offer. Not just that, remember that he can plan beforehand and also make sure that he adheres to the requirements for any programs he might be interested in taking up after he completes high school by conducting a study on the prerequisites for securing admission to foreign universities as soon as possible. Moreover, for students’ his age, aspiring to pursue education overseas, getting in touch with academic advisors or guidance counselors can also prove beneficial as they will be able to offer useful information pertaining to the myriad of possibilities available.

Explore English-taught programs, which many universities offer. Research tuition fees, living costs, and admission requirements. Check language proficiency and consider visa regulations. Discussing these aspects will help your son make an informed decision about studying in a Schengen country.

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to know that your son is currently studying in the final year of B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering at VIT Chennai post which he is looking to pursue his higher education in Europe. You would be glad to know that a number of outstanding choices for postgraduate studies in Computer Science are offered across Europe, especially in nations such as Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, and France. There are a number of leading universities that are renowned for their robust research output, industry partnerships, and global student assistance. These include ETH Zurich (Switzerland), TU Munich and RWTH Aachen (Germany), University of Amsterdam and TU Delft (Netherlands). Given that your son is in his final year, I would suggest that he starts preparing right away- as the majority of application deadlines fall between November and January for programs commencing in the following September.

Coming to the application procedure, this generally entails submitting academic transcripts, scores of English language proficiency tests like the IELTS or TOEFL, a Statement of Purpose (SOP), recommendation letters, and a Curriculum Vitae (CV). Even though a number of programs are instructed in English, a fundamental understanding of the local language may also be required in certain countries like Germany. Next, I would like to let you know that costs differ to a great extent: minimal or tuition-free education is offered at public universities in Germany or certain Nordic nations, whereas Switzerland or the Netherlands may charge between €8,000–€20,000 annually. Scholarships such as Erasmus+, DAAD (Germany), and particular university-based grants offer monetary assistance, and thus, I would suggest that your son looks into and applies for the same as soon as possible.
