What should I ask the international office before choosing a university?

Before choosing a university, ask the international office about the eligibility, language requirements, and documents for your program; the language of instruction and academic calendar; tuition, additional costs, and payment timing; scholarships; residence-status procedures; housing and insurance; academic and daily-life support after enrollment; and career support after graduation. Also ask about credit transfer, part-time-work rules, emergency contacts, and which office handles each matter, then verify the answers in current official materials.

  • Confirm academic support, credit transfer, career support, and rules for part-time work.

Things to check
