You want to study overseas, but the choices are bewildering. So instead of spending hours, days, comparing individual university websites, let StudyLink do all the hard work for you.

All you have to do is complete a simple four-step process, and StudyLink will work out the best options for you. Then you can spend more time on your application, and less time trying to figure out your shortlist.
Here are just a few ways the new website makes it even easier to choose your course:

Why it pays to learn another language
English is the most popular language to study overseas – and with good reason. It’s the international language of business and spoken in more countries, by more people, than any other. But what if you’ve already mastered English? Which other languages will give you the edge in tomorrow’s world?
Why learn another language?
There are a million good reasons to learn another language, as well as English, but here is our top ten:
- Learning one language makes it easier for you to learn another
- You can learn about other people and cultures
- It can open up more employment opportunities
- It gives you other valuable skills employers look for, such as problem-solving skills and open mindedness
- You’ll also develop good listening skills
- It can also lead into other subjects or interests, such as local culture and history
- You’ll find it even easier to travel the world, on holiday or for work
- It helps you to develop relationships and global networks
- You’ll become more confident
- You’ll make long-lasting friendships that could literally change your life
“English is simply not enough,” says Hilary Footitt, the Chair of the University Council of Modern Languages. “We need to be aware as never before of other languages, and the ways in which they identify and represent their cultures.”
