Expert Answers
Will I get an MBBS if I study medicine at a medical school in the USA?
→No. Medical schools in the USA award an MD degree, not an MBBS. You typically finish a bachelor's degree and the required pre-medical courses first, then apply to medical school. Tuition varies by school and by public or private status, so check each official page.
Is there a separate scholarship deadline for me, or does my undergraduate admission deadline in Singapore cover it?
→Most undergraduate scholarships in Singapore typically do not have a separate deadline. You are usually considered when you apply for admission, so the admission deadline usually works as the scholarship deadline. Research awards such as SINGA follow their own dates, so check each official page.
What IELTS or TOEFL score do I need for an English-taught master's programme at a Swiss university?
→For English-taught master's programs in Switzerland, universities typically ask for around IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 90. Requirements can differ even within the same university, so check the specific program page for the latest score before you apply for the 2027 or 2028 intake.
Which font, size and margins should I choose for my statement of purpose if my university gives no formatting rules?
→If the university gives no instructions, use a clear professional font such as Arial, Times New Roman or Calibri at about 11 to 12 pt, with margins of around 1 inch. Treat this as general guidance only and always follow any university rule first.
Should I choose the March intake in the UK as an Indian student, and what are its pros and cons?
→The March intake in the UK is not better or worse than other intakes; it simply suits fewer students. It can mean an earlier start and works well for PhD and block-start courses, but very few universities offer it and timelines are tight. Check course pages.
Am I eligible for merit-based scholarships at the University of Aveiro, and what grade classification do I need?
→The University of Aveiro offers merit-based scholarships for international students that cover part of tuition. The required classification is typically 16/20 for first-cycle students and 14/20 for second-cycle and strategic cooperation awards. Check the official university page for current rules.
Which Swiss universities should I consider for my engineering degree, and what is each known for?
→ETH Zurich and EPFL are widely regarded as the top engineering universities in Switzerland. ETH Zurich is known for computer science, mechanical engineering and physics, while EPFL is known for robotics, microengineering and life sciences. Rankings change, so check official sources.
Where in Switzerland can I find the lowest tuition per semester, and what other costs should I budget for?
→Geneva (about CHF 435 per semester, tuition only), Lausanne (around CHF 500 to 580), Basel (CHF 850) and Fribourg (CHF 870) typically have the lowest fees among the Swiss universities listed. Also budget for compulsory health insurance of CHF 3,600 to 4,800 a year. Check official fee pages.
