The amount of time you spend studying abroad will be determined by the program as well as level of degree you pursue. An undergraduate degree typically takes three or four years of full-time study (for example, most subjects in the UK require three years, whereas the usual in the US is four), but a graduate degree, such as a master's degree or equivalent, takes one or two years. A doctoral (PhD) program will typically last three to four years.

You may be requested to supply additional documentation as part of your application. Again, criteria vary by country and university, however overseas students are frequently expected to submit the following:
Passport photos for identification
A statement of purpose
CV/résumé
Academic references/ letters of recommendation
Certificate and transcripts of your secondary education
Proof of English-language proficiency (e.g. a TOEFL/IELTS certificate, for schools in English-speaking countries), or other language test
Admissions test results (e.g. GMAT/GRE results, for graduate programs)
Where will I stay during my study overseas program?
If your preferred university provides readily available campus housing, you will most likely be able to apply for a spot in one of these student halls. If this is not the case, you will have to locate your own accommodation.
