The experiences gained abroad can be the key to interesting career opportunities, personal growth, and lifelong friendships – immense values that cannot be measured in any currency. There are many steps to fulfill the dream to study abroad and that’s why we at Beyond abroad have made it as safe, easy, and affordable as possible.
Beyond Abroad was established in 2020 in Finland by Harri Suominen and Tuomas Kauppinen, founders of Asia Exchange and Edunation. Both studied abroad in Asia in the mid-2000s, and the experience left a deep impression on both – so deep that they wanted to help others do the same.
After establishing several businesses in the education sector focusing on Asia and sending more than 10 000 students abroad, they decided to leave their comfort zone and expand their operations globally. Beyond Abroad was born.
Today, Beyond Abroad offers the chance to study abroad in Europe, Asia, North America and South America.
Stepping out of the comfort zone is the key to personal growth. Studying abroad is a great way for your child to increase their self-confidence, become more independent, and gain new perspectives on life. They will learn about foreign cultures and learn to reflect on themselves and their own culture. Moreover, studying abroad will improve their intercultural communication skills and language skills. Academic studies in one of our highly ranked universities combine the advantages of traveling and valuable educational experience.
Besides the personal benefits, the student will widen their international network and gain crucial skills needed in the 21st-century labor market. Globalization and multiculturalization are a significant part of companies’ and organizations’ everyday life nowadays. Employers are looking for employees with global competence and cultural knowledge. Investing in education, especially in a study abroad program, will open doors to new and enriching possibilities for your child. For instance, 90% of graduates that studied abroad find work within six months after graduation and their starting salary is 25% higher. Therefore, we try to make study abroad programs affordable for as many students as possible.
Support your child or family member in making their dream of studying abroad come true. You can choose between a fixed amount (e.g.50€) for a semester abroad in any of our destinations or an open amount of your choice, which is an ideal gift for a Full Degree, Gap Year or Summer School. This Gift Card is the perfect present for anyone who wants to experience a new culture, meet people worldwide, and participate in a study abroad program!
The Beyond Abroad team will support your child in the best way possible. We happily respond to individual needs and concerns when needed. The safety of our students is a priority for us. We constantly evaluate the security of our destinations. Transparent communication in case of potential hazards is crucial for us. Our customer service and coordinators are happy to answer all questions before, during and after the study abroad experience.
All our partner institutions are high-quality universities that offer a wide selection of courses in English. We know our partner universities as we know our own pockets.
We have made the application process as simple as possible. By filling out the online application and submitting a couple of attachments, your child can get a secured study placement even within one day.
We provide the student with all the information they need to make their course selections, travel arrangements and generally make the most out of the semester abroad.
We have negotiated discounts for our students because we believe that studying abroad should be possible for many, not only a few.
We can provide flexible solutions also in short notice with our late application deadlines. In addition, we do not have student quotas, so your child can apply to study abroad with their friends and siblings.
“Let me thank you for the great job done, efficiently and politely, in a fast way, always punctual in answering to my son’s mails and in pushing forward solving his obstacles to finalize his dream to travel to Seoul at Hankuk University for the Spring semester.”
