Posted on September 28, 2025 By CampusTimesNG 2 Comments on Top 7 FAQ’s To Consider When Applying To Study Overseas

If you are thinking of applying to study overseas as a Nigerian student, perhaps, you might want to consider these questions.

Many of our students studying abroad were at one time stranded and confused as situations went the way never planned for.

So, in order to avoid any unwanted occurrences, here are a collection of Seven (7) questions you should consider when applying to study overseas.

Seven (7) FAQ’s To Consider When Applying To Study Overseas

1. Why Should I Study Abroad?

There are so many great reasons to want to study overseas. For most Nigerian students, the desire to experience high quality education and improve their job prospect in the labour market, makes them to go study abroad.

For some, however, studying abroad is for the fun. The appeal and excitement of seeing the world and learning new culture motivates them to studying abroad.

So, if you fall into these two categories of people, you may want to consider your options more carefully.

4. What Are The Requirements For Study Abroad Program?

However, entry requirements vary widely between universities when applying to study overseas. Usually, for a Nigerian students the minimum requirements for undergraduate program is the West Africa Senior School Certificate Exam (WASSCE).
