Does your child want to go abroad to study? Are you someone who loves the idea of your child studying at a foreign university? Would you want your child to own a Harvard, Yale or Princeton sweatshirt someday? Are you a parent who dreams of sending their child abroad so that they live a life that many can only dream of? If yes, you are in the right place!

Studying abroad is an exciting opportunity for students to broaden their horizons and gain a global perspective through immersive experiences in foreign academic institutions. They can gain invaluable real-world experience and build their cultural intelligence by immersing themselves in a foreign academic environment with different customs, people, and perspectives. However, for many parents sending their child overseas on this adventure can induce feelings of uncertainty, anxiety and apprehension.

Here are a few tips from Sangved to help you as a parent get organized and ensure that your child goes abroad to study completely prepared!

Preparing Your Child For Study Abroad

At Sangved, it would be our endeavour to help you understand the various elements and factors that would influence your child’s career. Keeping your and your child’s aspirations, abilities and interests in mind, we would assist you in making the right academic decisions. In the process of analysing the student’s profile, and choosing the right course and the right university, we will guide you every step of the way. The following tips will help you build a suitable plan:

  1. Understand your child’s goals and motivations – As a parent, we encourage you to first understand the reasons behind your child’s decision to study abroad. Talk to them and listen actively to gain insight into their purpose, which could stem from career goals, personal aspirations, or cultural curiosity. Understanding their objectives helps you provide better guidance and support through the process.
  2. Conduct thorough research – When you come to us, our professional counselling team conducts extensive research into the country, university, courses, etc., that your child is interested in and helps you identify the best fit based on your child’s goals. Apart from that, our career counsellors also provide insights on living costs, visa requirements, and other practical considerations.
  3. Seek advice from experienced parents and students – Speaking to our counsellors means leaning on the experiences of individuals who have sent their children abroad for study. They know the everyday challenges and common issues that most children face when they go abroad to study and help groom the students to overcome the difficulties.
  4. Create a detailed budget and plan – Studying abroad is more expensive due to higher tuition fees, visa processing costs, flight costs, living expenses, etc. Our experts help you to create a detailed budget that accounts for all expenses, allowing you to allocate funds appropriately and determine program/school affordability. Having a financial plan ensures you are financially prepared.
  5. Focus on health and well-being – Make sure that your child undergoes a thorough medical check-up before departure. Consult your doctor about prescription medicines and any glasses, if required. Equip your child with emergency contacts and a travel safety kit. For an extra layer of safety, we advise you to purchase travel insurance.
  6. Schedule counselling sessions for you and your child – When you meet with our counsellors, you gain knowledge about culture, study habits, and daily life abroad. Their expertise can help prepare you for what to expect, from the application process to your child’s return. Counselling sessions for both you and your child can also help alleviate any anxiety surrounding the transition.
  7. Plan your visits – Once your child has begun studying abroad and settled into their new routines, we encourage you to discuss with them the option of visiting. Planning a visit during the initial months can help ease the stress of transition by providing emotional support, comforting familiarity, and reassuring connectivity back home.
  8. Stay in constant touch – It is absolutely vital to stay in regular contact with your child, especially during the first few months as they adjust to life abroad. Regular communication via calls, video chats, texts, and emails allows you to provide ongoing emotional support, and guidance when needed, and remain updated on their daily life and wellbeing.
