  • Hello guys, welcome to my channel

  • Today I have a guest and

  • you already know him

  • because we made a video about writing a motivation letter

  • And if you haven't seen it

  • the link will be below

  • Hi Walker

  • Hello

  • Walker is from the United States

  • and he's currently living in Russia

  • and he's helping students from all over the world

  • to get into their dream university

  • And today we're going to talk not about American Universities

  • I know a lot of people want to go to an American University

  • It was also my dream to go there

  • But there are a lot of opportunities

  • in Europe

  • in Asia

  • to study in English

  • to save money

  • because for example

  • Master's degree in an American University will

  • cost you around 60 k

  • I studied in Germany

  • I paid 73 euros for semester

  • Compare 60 k and 73 euros

  • For 73 euros I also got this pass which allowed to travel

  • around Dresden

  • where I studied.

  • So there are a lot of opportunities

  • to study in English

  • in different countries and form your network there

  • Today we're going to talk about those universities

  • Walker

  • Right, so

  • Marina talked about some of the pluses

  • it can be a lot cheaper

  • to study in Europe

  • it's free, of course you've got

  • you've got to deal with living expenses

  • what it's going to cost and go back and forth

  • but it's cheaper

  • Another plus is location

  • You live close to Europe

  • It might be more convenient

  • Europe is a beautiful continent

  • with lots of great places to study

  • lots of good historical places for universities

  • It also can be accessible

  • It's difficult to get a visa

  • more difficult to get a student visa to go to the USA

  • and especially Great Britain.

  • It can be easier to get in to

  • to study as a student

  • Another important point is that

  • if your interests lye

  • in Europe or Asia

  • you always form long term links

  • and always set your roots down

  • at these places

  • and if it what you're interested in going

  • you want to just go there and study

  • even if you don't have a language

  • you can study in English

  • and pick up a language on the way

  • There are two main centres where English is studied in Europe

  • And in Asia, especially South-East Asia

  • and China

  • Chinese programs are going really fast

  • Also because they have large English-speaking population

  • Singapore and Malasia

  • Australia has been... it's an English-speaking country

  • Australia is the biggest exporter

  • of its educational system

  • for a long time

  • Others are also important especially as

  • Asia and Asian economy grows

  • Asian government are also heavily investing

  • and try to improve their education

  • Lots of places, lots of support

  • building Universities

  • where education is just in English

  • I tried to break it down a little bit

  • came out with famous Universities

  • Ones that are affiliates

  • to other Universities

  • Ones that are fagious

  • The famous ones are the ones that are long established

  • that are mostly for local

  • people so

  • Universities bulit for the local population

  • If you're from those countries

  • these are great places to study

  • English language meduims

  • but they are more for the local people

  • They were designed for that

  • Affiliants are the majority of the new programs

  • They are where Universities like American University

  • British University

  • set up an affiliate

  • creating the relationship with local University

  • and they've built a campus

  • Sometimes it's a full separate campus

  • Sometimes it's like a department

  • within the University

  • And they have a cache

  • they can issue diplomas from both Universities

  • and therefore you come up with an American diploma

  • There are ones which supposed to be English meduim education

  • but they are fagious

  • a local university has a lot of free students

  • has created a private sector

  • especially for foreigners

  • that's either a lot more expensive

  • or where they managed to get some funding

  • You have to be careful

  • sometimes the education is not very good

  • So you have to do a lot of quality check

  • Just google university revies and see what people say

  • I always advise my students to find people who're studying there now

  • through social networks

  • or from your country

  • from your field

  • and write to them and say "what it's like to study there?"

  • People that know what it's like to study there

  • who you can understand

  • have the same perspective

  • You can see what they think

  • It's easy to do that on Linkdin,

  • facebook

  • Don't be afraid to reach out to people

  • Right, you have to make sure in quality and relevance

  • Another important point is that degree has some value

  • Sometimes in foreign countries they issue a degree

  • from a foreign university

  • that doesn't really count in that country

  • or that doesn't apply in other countries

  • You end up having a degree and you don't know what to do

  • Also these affiliates

  • they may not wish to issue their diploma up the affiliate university

  • and you've affiliate with an American University but you don't have an American diploma

  • You have to be very careful

  • and be orientated

  • Essentially these programs are growing

  • in a rapid rate

  • Middle East countries are building huge universities

  • with their investments

  • and all on the English language medium.

  • If your English's right, it's the best place to consider

  • and a growing and vibrant community

  • is growing around the world

  • We here to help

  • Sure. Walker actually has a lot of students

  • whose native language is not English

  • who are studying in non-English countries

  • but they're studying in English

  • sucessful

  • You have a student in Italy who's done Ms and Phd

  • After PhD he got into a giant Italian bank

  • He's an economist

  • Another student who finished engeneering degree

  • in Aalto University in Finland

  • In Finland

  • Practically all other students are in Singapore

  • all the students who have gone they are coming from Russia

  • and from other countries

  • have managed to get jobs and also

  • make roots and establish themselves there

  • This is really important

  • You want to apply your skills you've learnt

  • which country you're most interested in

  • Germany has more than 800 programs in English
