University abroad: all the advantages
An international approach is critical to successfully meeting the challenges of the future.
Per gli studenti che si preparano a intraprendere il percorso universitario, scegliere un’università all’estero può essere una delle decisioni più arricchenti e strategiche della loro vita.
Ma quali sono i vantaggi concreti di questa scelta? In questo articolo ti spiego i benefici formativi, professionali, umani e personali che derivano dallo studio in un contesto internazionale.
Accesso a programmi accademici innovativi
Le università all’estero offrono una vasta gamma di corsi e programmi accademici spesso non disponibili in Italia. In molte nazioni, le istituzioni accademiche sono fortemente orientate alla ricerca e all’innovazione, permettendo agli studenti di accedere a tecnologie e metodologie all’avanguardia.
Ad esempio, studiare ingegneria negli Stati Uniti o biotecnologie in Olanda significa avere a disposizione laboratori all’avanguardia e docenti che sono leader nei rispettivi settori.
Metodo di insegnamento interattivo e pratico
Molti sistemi universitari internazionali privilegiano un approccio pratico e interattivo, in cui gli studenti sono incoraggiati a partecipare attivamente alle lezioni, a sviluppare progetti reali e a lavorare in team. Questo metodo aiuta a consolidare le conoscenze teoriche con esperienze concrete, preparando al meglio gli studenti al mondo del lavoro.
Apprendimento della lingua inglese (e non solo)
Frequentare un’università all’estero, soprattutto in paesi anglofoni, permette di raggiungere una padronanza elevata della lingua inglese, competenza ormai indispensabile in qualsiasi settore lavorativo. Inoltre, studiare in paesi non anglofoni, come Germania o Spagna, offre l’opportunità di imparare anche la lingua locale, arricchendo ulteriormente il bagaglio linguistico e culturale dello studente.
Un titolo di studio ottenuto all’estero è spesso molto apprezzato dai datori di lavoro. Questo perché dimostra non solo una preparazione accademica di alto livello, ma anche capacità di adattamento, resilienza e apertura mentale. In molti casi, gli studenti che completano gli studi all’estero hanno accesso a network professionali globali e possono beneficiare di stage o tirocini presso aziende leader del settore.
Network internazionale
Studiare all’estero significa entrare in contatto con persone provenienti da tutto il mondo. Questi legami non solo arricchiscono l’esperienza personale, ma si rivelano spesso cruciali nella costruzione di una rete professionale internazionale. In un mercato del lavoro sempre più competitivo, avere contatti in diverse parti del mondo è un vantaggio strategico.
Sviluppo di competenze trasversali
Durante un percorso di studio all’estero, gli studenti sviluppano competenze essenziali per il mondo del lavoro, come la capacità di risolvere problemi, di lavorare in contesti multiculturali e di gestire situazioni nuove e complesse. Queste soft skills sono molto richieste dai datori di lavoro e possono fare la differenza in un colloquio o nella progressione di carriera.
Maggiore indipendenza e adattabilità
Trasferirsi in un altro paese per studiare è una sfida che spinge i giovani a uscire dalla propria zona di comfort. Imparare a gestire la vita quotidiana in un contesto nuovo aiuta a sviluppare una maggiore indipendenza e capacità di adattamento. Queste qualità si riflettono positivamente non solo nella vita professionale, ma anche nelle relazioni personali.
Esperienze di vita uniche
Studiare all’estero non significa solo frequentare le lezioni, ma anche vivere esperienze uniche: scoprire nuove città, partecipare a eventi culturali, esplorare luoghi iconici e stringere amicizie che durano una vita. Questi momenti contribuiscono a creare ricordi indimenticabili e a modellare una personalità più ricca e sfaccettata.
Come scegliere la migliore Università all’estero
Studiare all’estero è molto più che un semplice percorso accademico: è un’esperienza di vita che arricchisce sotto ogni punto di vista. Dai vantaggi formativi e professionali alla crescita personale, questa scelta rappresenta un investimento prezioso per il futuro di ogni giovane.
Ecco perché è fondamentale sapere quale università sia meglio per un determinato/a studente/ssa: il mio lavoro consiste nell’individuare non solo il corso di studi più adatto, ma anche l’università che meglio rispecchia le sue aspirazioni personali e professionali.
Il supporto non si limita alla scelta dell’università, ma comprende anche l’assistenza con il processo di ammissione, con la preparazione del curriculum accademico o la gestione dei test di ammissione.

Every time I prepare a young person for his or her first departure, I find myself reliving the same question: what does it mean, today, to leave home to study across borders? In this post I gather some reflections born from the last chapter of my book and from my daily experience as an educational counselor: an integrated look at the emotions, practical challenges and potential of a path that, despite the uncertainties of the present, remains an extraordinary resource for young people and their families. Studying abroad in the age of global uncertainties Does studying abroad require courage? Certainly, it can be a challenge for kids and families, especially at a time in history fraught with questions for the younger generation. Yet it remains a unique opportunity.

In my work as an educational counselor, I dedicate myself with passion and deep responsibility to accompanying students on their college choice journey, visiting universities very often. It is not just a professional task, but a real mission: to help them navigate one of the most significant and transformative moments of their lives. This is an exciting journey, but a delicate one at the same time, as it involves guiding them not only to find their academic path, but to discover their most authentic passions, their hidden talents, and to envision how to turn this into a future full of possibilities, fulfillment and success. I firmly believe that the choice of college is a crucial moment in the life of a...

What to know, how to choose, how to prepare for college abroad. All in a Book! A growing trend that has more than doubled in the last 10 years. A transformation that confirms the mental "quantum leap" that the very young Italians of Generation Z have matured in recent years, conceiving themselves more and more as "citizens of the world." Training abroad is a life-changing choice, an investment in one's future both personally and professionally, a path that opens up new perspectives in an ever-changing world. For these reasons it is a choice that ignites enthusiasm but nevertheless should be pondered with great realism and pragmatism:What is the right college for me? How much does it cost? How can I best prepare myself for admission? Is it from.
Katja Iuorio Educational Consulting's guide to grasping the best from the summer months is back! Summer 2021 promises to finally be more "normal" than last summer despite the fact that the environment is still eventful and in some respects uncertain. Amid all the unknowns, however, there is one idea that guides us: the summer period is the optimal opportunity to seize new opportunities and thus be able to think about future scenarios! Spending your summer learning a new skill or doing research is the best way to propel yourself forward without the stress of impending deadlines. We have selected a few courses for youCourses that, according to their subject areas, deepen skills and prepare you for a future study abroad trip Below is the...
Updates for those who are studying (or would like!) to study in the UK. Having averted the risk of a "No Deal," an agreement has been reached that will regulate relations with Europe in several areas, including study. Agreement that includes, among other things, rising fees and an exit from the Erasmus program. There are currently 14 thousand Italian students attending universities in the United Kingdom, corresponding to about one-tenth of European students.Europeans who will become international students on a par with any other nationality as of September 2021 and will therefore have to pay higher university fees-double and in some cases triple the current fees of £9,250 per year, which was guaranteed. Even the possibility of working in...
Summer is coming and with it many unmissable possibilities! Reasoning about one's future during a time of calm and relaxation like summer is the best thing to do to make well-thought-out and incisive choices. This will be a peculiar, anomalous summer to say the least: the vast majority of "pre-college" experiences, "summer schools" and "summer camps" will unfortunately be skipping.Nothing is lost though! I have carefully selected for you a number of courseswhich, depending on your major, can deepen your skills and can prepare you for a future study abroad trip.These are all experiences that I recommend because they are well structured and designed, use state-of-the-art techniques, and will also allow you to meet and interact with many foreign students. From Yale to Stanford, from Marketing...
In the true sense of the word. A fundamental experience that fully involves the whole family. A few days ago, reading an American article on this subject, I was reflecting on the importance of the counselor in guidance and decision-making at the college choice stage, and I thought that the reflections that came out of it might be interesting for you as well. It is indeed, for kids and parents, a choice that involves both emotionally and financially, and it is a fact that education represents the second largest item of expenditure in a family's life (after buying a house) and like the latter, lasts for many years. In addition to being a crucial choice for the future of children, precisely because it is long-term, it must be...
These are my key words these days. As this article from The Nation recounts (from the Student Nation column, written by students for students) due to the COVID-19 emergency many campuses closed overnight, without there being a coordinated plan among the different universities. This created a lot of chaos and many international students found themselves with nowhere to go and left to their own devices. My key words for this period are calm, clarity and communication. In the work of a Counselor, there are delicate situations to handle at this time such as students who are abroad, those who are applying for college in these weeks, and still others who had to leave for...
That is, four ways to learn about universities without visiting them. Were you planning to visit the university to which you were admitted to learn more about it? Are you a fourth grader and were planning to attend open days to discover new paths to guide your future choices? Accompanying you on your journey and letting you explore the possibilities that today's world offers is not just my job; it is my passion. Now, at this dramatic juncture, the health emergency that we are all facing has turned these plans upside down as well, it is a difficult time that we are facing, and in difficult times you have to react. So I said to myself : "What can I do for you?" The answer came quickly:" It takes ...
Did you know that the Scottish university system...is very flexible and free for European students? And that, like all European degrees, Scottish ones are comparable to Italian ones?I discovered these and many other things last week on a visit to the University of Edinburgh.I had had very good references and found confirmation of an excellent system. For one thing, extremely flexible, students can enrich and customize their course with multiple modules even belonging to different fields of study, thus creating a unique curriculum each time, which corresponds to their needs and interests, (even along the way!)I recognized in the Scots a much more familiar and European flavor than in the English one; despite the uncertainties related to Brexit. Perhaps because of these...
What are the right times to start planning a study abroad pathway. Abroad students have been preparing for their dream college since they were very young because they know that it is the crucial experience for their future. That is why it is important to start preparing at least 18-20 months in advance of departure. A good plan helps the student focus on the schools that really align with their expectations, prepare for entrance exams, and evaluate their education from a long-term perspective. Among the soft-skills to be learned, managing one's time is definitely among the first, reconciling what one loves to do with what one has to doAn optimal path starts toward the 2nd grade with a...
