Are you looking to study different engineering programs in Europe?
Studying engineering abroad is one of the best choices a student can make nowadays. Not only do you gain a solid academic foundation, but you also learn to think globally, collaborate with individuals from many cultures, and develop abilities that companies value worldwide. However, the application procedure can be complicated at first, especially if it is your first time.
This article breaks things down into simple steps so you may apply for engineering programs overseas with confidence.
Whether you are looking to study mechanical engineering, computer science, civil engineering, or other fields, the steps listed here will help you comprehend the application process.
Understand what kind of Engineering program you want to study
Engineering is a very large field, and before you begin the application process, you should determine the area you are interested in. So, some popular alternatives include
- Mechanical Engineering
- Mechatronics Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Electrical and Electronics Engineering
- Computer Engineering
- Software Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Biochemical Engineering
- Vehicle Engineering
- Agriculture Engineering
- Food Engineering
- And many others
Choosing the field that interests you the most would assist you in identifying the appropriate universities and understanding their admission requirements.
Next, start researching the universities and countries
Every country has its own education system and style of teaching. Some students prefer Europe because of its high-quality education at great affordability while others choose the US, UK, Canada or Australia for other reasons.
When researching it is recommended to look at:
- The program structure, which also means how long the program is generally for. (3 or 4 years)
- Tuition fees and living costs should be considered; apart from the tuition fee, living costs should be actively considered, these can include monthly rent, food, leisure, transport and others.
- University rankings is another aspect to be considered and you can different ranking but the most respected ones are Times Higher Education and QS Rankings.
- What academic requirements do they need? These could include your high school grades and sometimes an entrance examination of the university that you may have to clear.
After considering the above and some more research points, try to shortlist 4-5 universities that match your budget, interests and academic profile.
Then, take a deep dive into the entry requirements carefully
Engineering admission abroad usually requires a strong background in Mathematics and Physics in high school but this can change for each university as requirements differ. Most universities look for:
- Good grades in Grade 12 or equivalent
- English proficiency test scores (IELTS, TOEFL, etc.) also may be required by some universities while others may recognize if your high school education was completed in English language itself and skip the proficiency scores altogether or test your skills in an interview/entrance exam.
- Valid identification documents
- Sometimes, an interview or an entrance exam of the university itself.
Each university has its own rules, so don’t assume that all entry requirements are the same. Always check the official website of the university or contact official representatives of the university, such as Qadri International Educational Consultancy, to get the most accurate information.
Submit your documents for the application to the official representative (Qadri International) to apply on time
Universities abroad follow strict timelines, and while many open applications one year in advance. So here is a simple breakdown:
- Start your research: 10–12 months before intake
- Prepare your documents: 8–9 months before
- Submit applications via your official representative, such as Qadri International, and receive offer letter: 6–8 months before
- Apply for visa and accommodation after getting your offer letter, and as per your university or consultant’s guides.
Applying early gives you more opportunities, better chances of admission, and more time for visa processing without a lot of stress.
How a study abroad consultant can help
