Yes, you can apply to several programs at the same time. However, keep in mind the following considerations. Firstly, each application typically involves gathering documents, writing essays or statements of purpose, and completing application forms. Be prepared to manage your time effectively and ensure that you meet all the application deadlines. Secondly, some study abroad programs have application fees that can add up if you apply to multiple programs. Consider the financial implications of paying these fees and factor them into your budget. Also, consider the timelines of the study abroad programs you are applying to. If the programs have overlapping dates or require commitments that conflict with each other, you may need to make a decision and choose one program over the others.

While it is possible to study abroad with a low or elementary level of language proficiency, it can be challenging. Most universities and educational institutions abroad require a certain level of language proficiency as a prerequisite for admission. Moreover, studying in a foreign country where the primary language is not your native language can pose significant difficulties in terms of communication, coursework comprehension, and social integration. However, there are language programs to consider, which will help you start your study abroad journey with limited language skills.

Planning to study abroad can be an exciting but complex process. To help you get started, here are some steps to consider: 1. Research destinations and universities through our Search tool. 2. Consider financial implications. 3. Consult online with our academic advisors. 4. Language preparation. 5. Understand visa requirements. 6. Gather necessary documents 7. Apply to universities using iAPPLY platform. 8. Plan for accommodation 9. Prepare for the cultural transition.

It all depends on your specific case. If you know how the admission process works, for example, you or one of your family members has already enrolled in a foreign university, then we recommend that you start preparing a year before the start of your studies. If you have little idea what is required of you and you do not have a clear plan, then you should postpone at least 2 years. It may seem that 2 years is more than enough to prepare. However, as it often happens, without a clear plan, you can reach the last one and just get bogged down in a huge number of "unpleasant surprises". The first year is better spent on planning and preparation. Decide on the language, country and specialty.
