How to Prepare for Your Consultation
Booking a consultation with ZIES is an important first step toward your goal of studying abroad in Ireland. To get the most out of this session, it’s essential to arrive prepared. Here’s a guide to help you make the most of your consultation:
Bring Key Documents: These include academic transcripts, standardized test scores (if available), and any information on extracurricular activities. This helps us better understand your background and academic strengths.
Identify Your Study Interests: Think about areas of study that align with your career goals. Are you drawn to Business, STEM fields, Health Sciences, or another area? If you’re unsure, we can discuss potential pathways based on your interests.
Prepare Questions: We encourage you to list at least three questions you have about studying abroad. These could be about the application process, scholarship options, visa requirements, or student life in Ireland. Some questions to consider:
What are the key application deadlines?
How competitive are scholarships for international students?
What is the student experience like in Ireland?
Are there internship opportunities available?
Consider Financial Planning: Studying abroad requires budgeting for tuition, living expenses, and travel. We’ll discuss scholarship opportunities, but having an idea of your budget will help us guide you more effectively.
Understand Your Goals: Think about why you want to study abroad and what you hope to achieve. This helps us recommend programs and institutions that align with your personal and professional ambitions.
During your consultation, we’ll provide personalized advice on university selection, scholarship applications, and all aspects of the student visa process. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
