Is the course right for me?

Read the module list, not just the course title. Two programmes with the same name can be very different in content, assessment and specialisation.

What will it cost in total?

Ask for tuition for every year of study, likely increases, and any extra fees. Then add living costs for that specific city.

What support is there for international students?

Look for orientation programmes, academic skills support, accommodation help and wellbeing services.

How is the course taught and assessed?

Find out the balance of exams, coursework, group projects and placements, and whether that suits how you learn best.

Where do graduates go?

Ask the university what graduates of the course typically do next, and treat any figures as one input, not a promise.

What are the conditions of my offer?

Check deadlines, English requirements and deposit rules — and whether the deposit is refundable if your visa is refused.

This guide is general information, not a guarantee of any outcome. Requirements change — always check official university and government sources, or ask a counsellor.
