Anyone who has the conditions can apply to go abroad to study at a university (junior college, undergraduate course), graduate or pursue further studies at his own expense. Many parents want their children to study abroad. There are several conditions here.
First of all, long-term planning and careful choice. It's best to consider your own study, career planning and design, and the advantages and disadvantages of foreign educational resources before making a decision.
Secondly, economic conditions are an important factor. Whether the family's current and future economic income is enough to pay the basic expenses of children studying abroad, including tuition and living expenses, should be one of the important basis for studying abroad. If the family economy is relatively difficult, students will have a heavy burden of studying abroad, which will have a negative impact on their studies, especially in countries where foreign students are prohibited from working by law. In recent years, the cost of studying abroad is getting higher and higher, so you must measure your economic ability before making a decision.
Third, one's own quality is the premise. Whether you have the ability of self-care, learning adaptability, language ability and mental maturity are all necessary conditions to ensure your healthy growth abroad and achieve the expected learning effect.

Doctoral graduates go abroad to engage in postdoctoral research at their own expense, and do not charge higher education training fees.
In addition to the above conditions, studying abroad at one's own expense should also meet the following conditions: First, obtaining sufficient foreign exchange aid or foreign scholarships through proper legal procedures, that is, holding economic guarantees provided by relatives and friends (which must be recognized by the country where you go), or holding scholarships or bursaries provided by foreign universities, scientific research institutions or foundations.
