I want to study abroad as a graduate student at the University of the Philippines. I hope everyone can tell me what conditions are required.

To apply for self-funded study abroad, you should generally meet the following four basic conditions:

1. Have a certain standard of foreign language proficiency.

2. Have certain self-care ability.

3. Have sufficient financial resources.

Foreign schools have certain foreign language proficiency requirements for applicants who study abroad, but different schools in different countries have different standards. Study in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and other countries where English is commonly spoken.

You need to pass English proficiency tests, such as TOFEL, GRE, ESE, GMAT, MELAB, IELTS, etc. Taking IELTS as an example, students from mainland China who apply to study in the UK, Australia, or New Zealand must have a score of 6.5 or above for postgraduate students.

To apply to study abroad at your own expense, you must have sufficient sources of funds for study and living abroad. Especially when applying to study in Western economically developed countries, applicants must prove that they have sufficient ability to pay tuition, accommodation, living expenses and other expenses.

Means of financial resources include self-raised funds, funding from relatives and friends, guarantees from friends, scholarships or grants, part-time work-study, etc. Among them, adequate economic guarantee is a common requirement of all countries.

Many countries have regulations on the qualifications and guarantee amount of financial guarantors. Of course, if you can obtain higher scholarships and grants from foreign universities, you don’t need a financial guarantee. If you study in a developing country, most students do not require financial guarantee.
