Decide on which Course You want to Pursue 

What is it that you are most passionate about? What do you aspire to be (career-wise) after you're done with your studies?

If you are conflicted even at this part, or in a dilemma on which to choose, perhaps you could take a personality test to see which career is most compatible with you. One website that I particularly like is 16 Personalities.com. Go ahead and try it out because you may be able to find out career paths that you didn't even think of pursuing!

The website is aesthetically pleasing too, for me.

Choose Your Preferred University to Attend 

Check the Times World University Ranking for the top universities in the world

You could go and study anywhere actually. Personally speaking, if I'm going to study overseas, might as well I go to a good school. I believe we would all want to go to a university that has a good ranking because quality matters, especially after graduating.

Also, a good ranking university is important particularly if you are thinking of applying for external scholarships later on. Just a head's up, for JPA or MARA applications, one of their requirements is: your chosen university should be Top 50 in the ranking.

However, do bear in mind that with higher ranking, comes higher tuition fee. This is also something to consider when deciding on which university you want to go. List down a few options of universities that you would like to attend.

Check whether They have the Course and the Requirements for it 

Now that you have listed down the universities that you would prefer to go to, check on their official website whether they offer the course that you want.

If yes, then read further on the entry requirement.The official university websites are typically easy to navigate; if not, make full use of the search bar provided.

An entry requirement usually looks like this:

Suitable for graduates in a wide range of disciplines, including arts and science subjects as well as the usual business-oriented degrees.

Applications will be considered from recent graduates with an upper second class Honours degree, or higher, from an approved university or those with a similar level of qualification gained by other methods. Non-graduates with approved professional qualifications or work experience may also be considered under certain circumstances.

Applicants whose first language is not English will be required to pass an IELTS exam, obtaining a minimum score of 6.5 with a subscore of 5.5 in each paper.

See Scholarships Offered for that Particular School of the University 

Most of the universities do offer scholarships for international students. It is all listed on their website. Another alternative website would be scholars4dev (short for Scholarships for Development) where they have a listing of international scholarships from various universities across the world. 

Do take note of the application deadlines because you surely do not want to miss it. This is why I would advise anyone to plan everything beforehand so that you can get everything done in time. Give yourself one year or even more to organize these matters especially if you will be needing financial aid.

If Scholarships not Offered, Search for External Loans or Scholarships 

If somehow you have missed the university's deadline for their scholarship application or your particular school do not offer any, do not give up. There are still external loans or scholarships to look out for.

There are usually financial aid provided by the government for their citizens to study overseas or even corporate bodies that offer full scholarships in return for your service in the company after you have graduated.
