Studying abroad can be very difficult especially in transitioning into a whole new culture and place. Adapting to university life is no easy task. Students have to learn to live in a new place without their peers. Let’s take a look at some things that students can do to enhance their student life on and off-campus.
Overall educational experience
The workload of universities can be quite gruesome and students need to learn how to balance up. Some limit their time of going out and having fun with friends so they can focus more on their studies.
It is a good challenge to some who get to learn new things in a whole new world.
Sports clubs
Some students find a new hobby so they can adjust to new life. They can join a sports club or peers club so as to fit in. Various universities have different sports disciplines that students can join and even play competitively against other universities.
The sports clubs on campus include track and field club, basketball, volleyball, football netball, volleyball, basketball, lawn tennis, and table tennis.
Student Spiritual Life
The University also allows students of all faiths to practice their own religion as allowed by the Constitution of Malawi. There are a number of religious groups and clubs on campus, who conduct services at a different times as they would have arranged.
Life After Graduation.
This is one of the most pertinent questions students ask themselves. It is important to consider what one will do next.
Frequently asked questions are:
- What will I do after completing my studies?
- How will the University assist?
- Can I get a job in Malawi after my studies?
- Do I qualify for a stay visa and work permit?
Malawian companies and the corporate world offer internship for students who have completed their studies. This enables students to easily transition into the society after University.
Some universities also assist students to find employment in companies. Nowadays Universities and companies can reach an agreement whereby the University can refer the student to a certain company based on excellence and merit.
For international students, the company then assist the student to get an extension on their visa and get a work permit as well.
Companies offering Scholarships can also link up their scholarship beneficiaries with internships and eventually, jobs after completion of their courses.
