Universities are eager to welcome foreign students into their master's programs in order to help strengthen international ties and promote cultural diversity on campus. A wide range of scholarship programs are available to international students, many of which are funded by universities, governments, or private foundations. These programs either fully or partially cover the cost of study, and some offer monthly stipends, accommodation, and much more.

To confirm academic readiness for study abroad programs, most universities require standardized test scores: SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, or IELTS/TOEFL (to test English language proficiency).

The list of exams depends on the university you choose. We help you prepare for the most popular tests: IELTS and SAT. You can learn more in our materials and webinars with experts.

At the same time, academic grades sometimes take a back seat, and an applicant's most important and valuable document becomes the essay.
