Asia FAQ
Straight answers
Will my degree be recognised back home?
Yes, provided the university is on the recognised list of its national ministry of education. We only apply to accredited institutions, and for medicine we check the school appears on the World Directory of Medical Schools so you can sit licensing exams later.
Do I need to learn Chinese, Korean or Japanese?
Not for the programmes we place you on — they are taught in English. Most universities offer free or cheap language classes on the side, which helps a great deal with daily life and part-time work.
Are the scholarships real, and who gets them?
They are real, government-funded and competitive. Strong WASSCE or degree grades matter most, plus a clear research or study plan. We prepare that plan with you and file before the deadline — most applicants lose out simply by applying late.
Can I work while studying?
It varies. Japan and South Korea permit part-time work with a permit; China restricts it heavily; the UAE allows it with employer and university approval. Never plan to fund tuition from part-time work.
Can I bring my family?
Dependent options in Asia are more limited than in Europe. Some UAE and Malaysian routes allow it, and scholarship holders sometimes can once enrolled. We check this per country before you decide.
How fast can I travel?
For several of these countries, six to ten weeks from application to visa if your documents are complete and the intake is open. That makes Asia the best option when you have missed a European or UK deadline.
