Studying abroad is a great opportunity to get direct information from universities. However, if you ask the wrong questions, you might miss out on important details! Let’s see how you can prepare, how to speak, and what questions to ask to make the most of attending the Australia & UK University Fair on Sunday, 16 March 2025.
1. Prepare Before Talking to University Universities

- Check the list of universities you want to meet: Choose 3–5 universities that match your interests.
- Study the programs, tuition fees, and scholarships First: You can gather initial information from the university websites. If you find anything unclear or if you need more details, you can ask the staff directly.
- Think of questions in advance: Avoid vague questions like “Can you tell me about your university?”
❌ Hi, can you tell me about your university? (This is too broad. You should be more specific.)
✅ Hi! I’m interested in studying MSc Marketing. Could you tell me what makes your program unique? (This allows the university staff to provide more detailed and specific information.)
2. Ask Specific Questions

Asking specific questions that match your own needs will get you more helpful answers than asking broad questions. Whether it’s about the curriculum, scholarships, work opportunities during or after study, here are some example questions from One Education:
Curriculum:
- How is this program different from other universities?
- Are there options to choose electives or work on special projects?
- Are there opportunities for research work or internships during studies?
Job Opportunities After Graduation:
- What career paths do most graduates of this program pursue?
- Does the university have a Career Service or an alumni network to help with job placement?
- Are there opportunities for part-time job during studies?
Scholarships:
- Which scholarships am I eligible for with this GPA or IELTS score?
- What are the requirements for this scholarship and how do I apply for it? (Some universities automatically consider you for scholarships upon application, while others require separate scholarship applications, so it’s important to check.)
Student Life & Accommodation:
- Is the cost of living high in this city? What is the average cost?
- Where do most international students live in the city?
- Are there any activities for international students at the university?
