Pre Departure Orientation

At GRADVOY, we understand that preparing emotionally is just as important a step towards successful onboarding. That's why our process takes into account each candidate's experience and expectations to ensure a smooth transition!

This is something that is mostly overlooked as a practice in other service providers. We at GRADVOY however recognize the importance of mentally preparing a candidate with the right expectations so that the transition is as easy as possible.

We need the students to be ready to adapt to a new culture, education methodology, food, weather, friend circle etc. We help the students with the following:

• Easing with the Culture Shock: Moving to a new country and adapting to the culture shock can be overwhelming for many students. It's common that they struggle with feelings of not belonging, which often leads them into social isolation or reluctance when it comes to exploring their surroundings. Fortunately, GRADVOY provides invaluable resources offering insight on how best one might tackle these challenges. With an array of previous experiences drawing from scholars across various countries and universities alike-personalised guidance is surely at hand!
• Easing with the Culture Shock: Once students have been accepted to a university, their next step is obtaining their study permit. With GRADVOY here to help every step of the way, they can make this process much smoother. We provide guidance in regards to financial requirements, filling out visa forms and more.
• Accommodation and Airport Pickup: Navigating an unfamiliar country as a student can be daunting- but you don't have to go it alone! With support from our team, we'll arrange for your airport pickup so that despite any immigration delays or long flights, you won't arrive at your destination feeling disoriented. We also offer assistance in finding accommodation - with the university and other students already living together – so you can rest assured of having somewhere safe to stay during your time abroad.
• Things to Carry: Before embarking on an international journey for studying, it is important to know exactly what should be packed. To lighten the burden of unnecessary items and avoid surprises from dress codes or lack of availability abroad, GRADVOY offers comprehensive country-specific checklists filled with essential information so you can arrive prepared! Be sure not to bring any clothing specific to India; winter wear may require extra consideration depending upon your destination. Furthermore, take note that many medicines are only available through a doctor's prescription overseas - packing certain staples ahead will prove invaluable in those early days!
• Do’s and Dont’s: GRADVOY will offer students the unique opportunity to experience a culture entirely different from their own. However, in order to truly become part of that society they must learn and follow social norms and customs specific to each country which GRADVOY can provide through an informative checklist.
