Austria - Study and Go Abroad

Tips and Resources

To get the most value out of this important event, you should prepare for it in advance if possible, and follow up afterwards. Here are some tips on how to make the best use of your time at the Study and Go Abroad university fairs:

Before the fair:

See which institutions are attending by viewing the exhibitor list
Read the profiles of the institutions that are of direct interest to you; also have a look at the other profiles as well – you may be surprised which university or college offers what you are looking for
If you are not sure of what study topic you want to pursue, start with the countries you want to study in; you can sort by country on the exhibitor listing (use arrow toggle over ‘country’) and see which schools are located in which countries and explore from there
Visit www.studyandgoabroad.com and find out more about the various countries – you will find country facts and figures under the ‘Study Overseas’ drop down menu – and read up on some articles about student experiences, fields of study, etc.
If you already know what you are looking for, bring along your transcripts, portfolio, résumé – whatever you have already on hand to present to the representatives. If you don’t have them, that is okay as well – you will find out what you need once you discuss your plans

During the fair:

Use the Fair Guide you will get when you enter to navigate your way around the room
Attend the free seminars: These information sessions are for you to learn in depth about the presentation topics and to ask questions; visit the presenters afterwards at their stands for more details
Ask as many questions as you need to; the fair is for you to research and learn about the many institutions in attendance
Collect information resource materials from the schools that are of interest to you and from the other service providers
Don’t rush through: It is not often that you will have the chance to visit with so many representatives in your city, so take your time!

After the fair:

Follow up with representatives you met and keep in touch with questions and planning
Read through the materials you collected during the fair
Make up a comparison chart of important issues that you extract from the various brochures and websites of different schools of interest to you, to help you with your decisions
Discuss your ideas and plans with friends and family; this often helps to clarify issues
