If you’re an avid traveler, you might find the idea of setting down in just one place for the next few years a bit disheartening. But, if you’re also interested in the idea of pursuing further education, you might need to do some rearranging of your plans in order to ensure that you can go to school and still fulfill your travel dreams whilst you are young. Thanks to the internet and advancements in technology, studying and traveling at the same time has never been easier. We’ve put together a handy guide for studying as you explore the world.
Online Education
Whether you are hoping to obtain a master of science in analytics online, are hoping to study for an MBA in order to start your own business, or even want to go into a healthcare career such as nursing or counselling, there is a wide range of courses available online that you will be able to choose from. Online learning is becoming more and more popular, as it’s not only usually cheaper than on-campus courses when it comes to tuition fees, it also allows students to study from home, or indeed any other destination in the world so long as you’ve got your laptop with you and have a Wi-Fi connection.
Distance Learning
Distance learning does not differ from online education much, except for the fact that the courses provided are usually from physical colleges, rather than online-only education institutions. Distance learning is often available for all or part of your course, and if you’re a fan of traveling, opting for distance learning on various modules can be a great way to add more flexibility to your education and free up time to travel whilst studying for your degree. Whether you’re looking for a business degree or MSA program online from an established university or college, make sure to enquire about any distance learning options that they may offer. This option is especially good for those who want some of the freedom and flexibility of online learning, but who also want to attend a physical college with the option of on-campus classes if desired.
Study Abroad
Last, but not least, one of the best ways to get your higher education without missing out on traveling is to apply to study abroad. There are many ways in which you can get your degree course in another country, and international students are welcomed at the beginning of each semester in almost every university and college. Studying abroad can be for your whole degree, or you might want to consider spending a semester or perhaps even a year at a college or university in a different country. Studying abroad gives you an awesome chance to experience student life to the full in the country of your choice, make new friends for life and even learn a new language.
If you’re feeling full of wanderlust but also want to gain a degree, there’s no reason to have to choose between the two!
