Global graduates do exceptionally well in college abroad, demonstrating a marked improvement in both academic achievement and the development of personal abilities.
The success of international graduates is highlighted in a recent report by Ulster University, which demonstrates their adaptation and resilience in a variety of settings.
“The results of our study indicate that international students not only excel academically but also develop valuable life skills that prepare them for the global workforce,” said Dr. Jane Smith lead researcher at Ulster University.
International students support these results, which highlights the benefits of studying abroad for students’ professional and personal development.
“Studying abroad has been a transformative experience for me, allowing me to gain a broader perspective and develop skills that will benefit me in my future career,” Maria Camila Soto, exchange student in Albstadt, Germany said.
Interviews with a number of international students support these claims, as students credit their success to their exposure to many viewpoints and cultures.
“Living and studying in a different country has helped me become more adaptable and open-minded, which are skills that will be valuable in any career,” Andres Rojas, an international student in Medellin, Colombia said.
International students often face language barriers, cultural shock, and homesickness, impacting their mental health and academic performance.
“One of the biggest challenges for me was managing my emotions and overcoming periods of homesickness,” Valentina Garcia, a student studying abroad in Spain said.
Despite challenges, international students succeed academically, developing valuable cross-cultural skills and adapting well to diverse environments.
“Studying abroad has helped me become more independent and culturally aware, which I believe will benefit me in my future career,” Soto said.
Studying abroad fosters personal and academic growth, making students more independent, open-minded, and culturally aware.
“The experience of studying abroad has been invaluable in helping me develop as a person and prepare for my future career,” Rojas said.
