Blurb 1: Academic environments are starkly different in foreign universities and being familiar with them beforehand is a definitive advantage.
The dream of making it big in life resides in every individual. And, for most youngsters the first step towards a better life is securing an opportunity to study in an international university. The flock of Indian students that populate the campuses of many universities abroad is a testament to the fact that pursuing an international degree is something that every Indian youth considers at least once in their academic career. However, a challenge for many of them is the fact that courses abroad are starkly different to what the Indian education system prescribes. Most preparing to study abroad have to invest a huge amount of resources — time and money — to familiarise themselves with foreign university courses. While there is no correct way of going about it, we know of one shortcut that can be of immense help. Academic writing allows a unique and profound peek into a variety of courses that form the syllabi of foreign universities. Being aware of what foreign universities expect from their students can increase the probability of successfully clearing the admission process.
Securing admissions and completing the bureaucratic requirements of entering a foreign university are one aspect that students have to deal with. However, after reaching the university, handling the course work based on their experience from the Indian education system can be an uphill task for many. The way of teaching, approaching the course work, and demands of the assignments would be completely new for any Indian student in a foreign university. But, if one has been working as an academic writer they would have already had a tonne of exposure to the kind of assignments, or even the actual possible assignments, that they might have to work on when they are pursuing a degree abroad.
A course and the approach to its assignments are closely linked with the broader education system of the country, which most Indian students will obviously be unfamiliar with. Getting accustomed to a completely different academic environment can be long process, but being an academic writer can cut the time down significantly. Being completely familiar with a different approach to studies and course work can lend a significant advantage over other Indian students on the campus.
Another feature of foreign universities is their unusual course material. This is in stark contrast with the more regimented course outlines that are followed in India. For example, an Australian university includes a course on the Zombie Culture in their marketing programme to understand the importance of pop-culture in a successful marketing campaign. Being an academic writer and working on such assignments help immensely in getting used to such peculiar and odd courses, bringing a sense of confidence even before they have to deal with them personally.
To give a simple cricket analogy, being an academic writer is like being an India A player who gets an opportunity to play against the Australian national team at GABA without endangering their own ranking or future prospects. There is no scenario where you can come back with a disadvantage.
