:: Route to the Dream ::

Assalamualaikum, hello there...

As the title suggests, this entry is regarding steps to be taken to fulfill the my dream might be applicable and be of a little help to you as well. Things that you have to do if you're interested  to further up your study post-graduate, overseas. It may not applicable to those lepasan SPM since the route is a lot different, I guess. 

 Anyway, hope it helps. 

 1. Consult lecturers, university's agents, Mr. google, etc.  

note: studying overseas isn't easy. make yourself clear of your decision.

ask for their opinion about everything. the course, country, university, etc.

 2. Survey & apply to the university 

note: check all the requirement needed. passport, IELTS, full transcript, etc.

 3. Response from the university 

note: you'll get the Offer Letter -unconditional/conditional/provisional offer-

 4. Look for sponsor(s) 

note: be extra-alert for the application date, you don't want to miss it. believe me.

as for MARA, the scholarship programme opens on March every year.

self-sponsored? skip this step. ohh you're so lucky.

 5. Apply for postponement of previous study loan/contracts 

note: if applicable only. this includes PTPTN/JPA/MARA contracts during your undergraduates.

 6. Accept the offer 

note: fill in relevant acceptance form. payment of fees -by you yourself or sponsor(s)-

 7. Apply for a visa 

note: the process may take some times. follow requirements from the authority. 

lucky enough, some countries doesn't require a visa. :)

 8. Book for a flight ticket, look for accommodation, etc. 

note: you could also ask the sponsor/agent to help you in settling these matters.

 9. Congrats. Wait for your flight. Yeay!  

note: ok dah boleh la beli makanan, baju & stuffs yang ingin dibawa :)

 10. Don't forget to study hard! 

note: set your aims and goals there. so that your time & money spent there won't be a waste.

contribute to the world.

That's it. Quite a lot to do, huh? Hmm wait until you come to the details and requirements of each step. You'll get crazier more stresses hahaha. Nauzubillah. You should always remember that these steps might be different, depending on your choices of university or country or even sponsor. But no worries, take it slow. Provided you have plentiful of time :)

All the best!
