Study in the USA

Fields of study

Study in the USA covers all fields of education, including business, law, the arts, social sciences, engineering, IT, healthcare, sport and education.

We help each candidate find a suitable university and programme based on their interests, previous education, academic results, English and budget. Special requirements, such as an entrance exam, a portfolio, a licence or additional documents, are checked for each programme.

The final choice of university and programme depends on education, interests, academic results, English, budget and admission requirements.

Tuition fees and scholarships

Bachelor's studies from approximately USD 12,784 a year after the automatic scholarship, according to currently available partner information.

Some master's programmes from approximately USD 25,000 for the whole programme.

Scholarships from partial amounts up to approximately 50% are possible, depending on the university and the candidate.

Prices, scholarships, admission requirements and application fees are for information only and subject to change.

This information is indicative and must be checked before applying.

Prices are approximate and subject to change. They may vary by programme, number of credits, academic year and scholarship. Additional costs may include the application, accommodation, food, health insurance, books, SEVIS, the visa, travel and personal expenses. The current price, scholarship and STEM status of a specific programme are checked before the application is submitted.

Work during and after studies

On-campus work: as a rule, up to 20 hours a week during classes, in line with F-1 rules.

CPT: an internship during studies when it is part of the curriculum and approved in advance.

Work after studies: eligible F-1 students can apply for up to 12 months of post-completion OPT in a field related to their studies. For an eligible STEM programme, an additional extension of up to 24 months can be requested, for a total of up to 36 months. OPT and STEM OPT are neither automatic nor guaranteed; they depend on the programme, the official STEM classification, the student's status, the employer and current regulations.

STEM OPT requires an eligible study programme, a job related to the studies, an E-Verify employer, the prescribed plan and approval from the competent authorities.

H-1B and other statuses may be possible with employer sponsorship, but they are neither automatic nor guaranteed.

The right to work and extensions of status are not automatic. The candidate must meet the current requirements of the university and the competent US authorities.

Deadlines

Deadlines depend on the university and the start of the semester. We recommend starting the process at least six months before the planned start of studies.
