overseas education

Study abroad programs

Overseas education is schooling pursued in a foreign country, typically at the university level.

The term usually describes students who leave their home country for degree programs abroad: She's considering overseas education in the UK.

It encompasses both full degrees and shorter exchange programs, and often implies the cultural immersion and credential-building that come with studying in another nation.
