Nigerians like to travel a lot, and part of this is either to study abroad or to work or to just relocate overseas. But talking of studying abroad, there are several reasons for any Nigerian to want desire to earn a foreign certificate.

Some Nigerian students want to study abroad because they believe overseas education is superior to that of Nigeria and that they benefit more from academic skills; others want to study abroad because of the prestige associated with foreign certificates; and yet others want to study abroad because of the social activities and free lifestyles they have seen in movies.

Whatever your reasons for wanting to study abroad are, here are 7 countries that you can acquire quality and affordable education abroad. This does not indicate that the Nigerian educational system is inferior or decayed, but everything is dependent on the personal reasons of the potential student.

1. Ghana

Whether you like it or not, Ghana is “abroad” to Nigeria even though it is a neighbouring country accessible by road transport. Their educational system is touted to be among the best in Africa, and they still adhere strictly to the British educational system. Ghana has thousands of “foreign students” studying across its universities, and great academic opportunities and amazing cultural lifestyles are open to all students to explore.

There are several Ghanaian universities of repute across the West African country, but some of the notable ones are the University of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, University of Education, and Ghana Technology University College.

2. South Africa

South Africa is yet another African country that has become the favourite of Nigerian students who wish to study outside the country. The cross-cultural environment of South Africa makes it an excellent place for diverse study in the Arts, History, and Science courses. Some of the more reputable universities are the University of Cape Town, University of the Witwatersrand, Stellenbosch University, University of Pretoria, University of Kwazulu-Natal, Rhodes University.

3. Canada

Some of the best universities in Canada are the University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, University of Alberta, McMaster University, University of Waterloo, University of Calgary, Western University, University of Ottawa, and the University of Victoria among others. All these have their share of foreign students, and they present a conducive environment to make international students feel at home.

4. Malaysia

One of the main factors that have been working well for Malaysian universities is their affordability. It is true that Nigerian students report ill-treatment and racism in that Malaysia, but the truth remains that Nigerians and other foreigners still flock to the country to acquire a certificate. These international students study and also explore the local cultures of the people, engaging in extracurricular activities that make their education well-rounded over there.

Some of the best universities in Malaysia are Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Malaya, the International Islamic University Malaysia, Universiti Putra Malaysia and Universiti Teknologi MARA.

5. Singapore

You may want to study at the theNational University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Management University, Singapore University of Technology and Design, and SIM University among others if you find yourself as a student in Singapore. The country got independence from Malaysia in 1965 and inherited most of its educational legacy, providing foreign students the conducive environment to study and tap into the rich cultural values of the people.

6. Ukraine

Studying in Ukraine is like studying in Russia. They have a robust educational system and international students profit a great deal from academic and part-time job opportunities that are open to foreign students.

Some of the reputable universities that foreign students can enjoy studying at are Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Karazin University, National Technical University of Ukraine, Donetsk National Medical University, Odessa National Medical University, Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University, and Sumy State University.

7. Sweden

Sweden is a very beautiful and natural country, a place where academic pursuits sink directly into the head. The country has a wide display of natural landscapes, and takes great pride in its architecture and the arts, while not leaving fashion on the table. This is a country that offers tuition-free admission for some particular courses, and a place where international students are always welcome.

Some of the universities to check out in Sweden are Lund University, Uppsala University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, Stockholm University, and the University of Gothenburg.
