WHY NOT INDIA OR ANY OTHER COUNTRIES?

There is a reservation system in most of the top universities in India. Higher education in India has
faced several challenges in the shape of various aspects, which are Quantity and Quality, Lack of
Infrastructure and Facilities, Poor Administrative Work, Educational Policies & Courses and
Curriculum.

USA- Various universities in US offer this course but annual fee was a major concern.

UK -My major reason for not choosing the UK is the fee structure to add on cold climates is also an
issue.

CANADA - It is popular for providing diploma programs. However, In Canada, the limited number of
seats and expensive fees make entry difficult.

AUSTRALIA- Australia is the safest place, education fees are quite affordable and a good and
friendly education system as compared to other countries likes the USA, UK and so on. So, I prefer
Australia.
The New Castle University is ranked in top 200 Universities in the world; top 8 in Australia for
research 'well above world standard' and 30th in the world for impact. Bachelor of Arts (Politics and
International Relations) focus on the impact of policies, religion, ethnicity, nationalism and
globalisation on international affairs. I will study these areas from a range of perspectives, including
historical, sociological, political and geographic disciplines. After completing my course, I will be
returning back to my home country, India. There, I can work in community and welfare services,
foreign affairs and trade, local, state and federal government policy and administration, political
parties, interest groups and associations. My long term plan is to become a diplomat. I wish to
represent and protect my nation's interests abroad regarding politics, trade, and consular services.

I am financially strong in my home country. Both my parents are working and have a good source of
the annual income of approx. INR 11, 33,550. We also have movable and immovable assets. Though,
I will miss my family for a short period of time while I will be in Australia but I will be back after
completing my studies from Australia. As I have the responsibility of my family and my home
country. I have to take care of all the assets that my family have.

THANKS & REGARDS
