Check the entry requirements and identify what results you will need to facilitate any further study. Make sure you've passed any tests you need to get on the course and always choose an accredited institution.
How Much Will It Cost?

Can I Get Funding?
Possibly there are plenty of ways to gain funding for study or research abroad. Awards and scholarships are usually specific to an institution or country but funding from external bodies is also possible. Also contact the institution you're interested in joining for more information.
