Work in Australia, as a student.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Working during your studies will not only assist with living expenses, it's a great opportunity to network and meet new people.

As an international student, you are eligible to work up to 20 hours a week on your student visa. While the prospect of finding work in a new country may seem daunting, with just a few small steps you can be on your way to your first local job.

To help you prepare, we've compiled our top tips for job search success for international students.

1. Know your rights and responsibilities

It is important to know your rights and responsibilities to work in Australia. As a worker you have rights around minimum pay, leave entitlements, and workplace health and safety. The Fair Work Ombudsman can provide you with information and advice about your work rights.

If you intend to work in Australia, you'll need to apply for a Tax File Number (TFN), a personal reference number used in the tax and super systems. Without one, 45% of your pay will be witheld as tax.

If you're on a student visa, once your course has commenced you are permitted to work a maximum of 40 hours per fortnight (20 hours per week) when your course is in session, and unlimited hours when your course is not in session.

Work that is a formal registered part of your course is not included in the limit of 40 hours per fortnight, and voluntary, unpaid work is also not included. For more information, visit the Department of Immigration.

2. Research and make a job search plan

Allow sufficient time for your job search, including putting aside time to learn about the Australian recruitment process, research your target industry, potential employers and the local job market. This will allow you to make better decisions and demonstrate that you are well informed of the company, position and the organisation's values. Set targets for yourself, identify contacts you can reach out to for assistance and consider the values that are important to you in an organisation.

Sources of information to use in your search include:

Fair Work Ombudsman

industry publications

professional associations

organisations' websites and annual reports

information from the press using databases such as Factiva.

3. Network

They say "who you know" is important, and many jobs today are found through word of mouth.

Be sure to reach out to the contacts you've made in Australia - in and outside the University - and even to companies which are of interest to you. It is also beneficial to be proactive and incorporate networking into your job search to build and foster relationships with people in your target industry and related organisations. Getting involved in all that the University has to offer, including our Careers Centre and clubs and societies, will help you expand your network.

You can also set up a LinkedIn profile, connect online and follow potential employers of interest, and join relevant online forums and LinkedIn groups.

4. Find your unique selling points

Consider the employability skills you have to offer an employer and think about any attributes that will make you stand out from other job applicants. You may find that you have some interesting 'selling points' as an international student, such as language skills, international experience, cultural sensitivity, knowledge of foreign markets/businesses or the ability to rapidly adapt to different environments. Seek opportunities that will utilise your unique skills.

5. Develop your skill set and value your work experience

Seize opportunities to develop the skills employers are looking for alongside your study - through casual work, volunteer experiences and by joining University clubs and societies. Extracurricular involvement is highly regarded by employers in Australia, as it demonstrates your ability to work for a cause alongside a team of people and will help you develop the interpersonal skills you may not gain in the classroom. Employability programs offered through the University can also help you boost your skills and confidence.

6. Prepare and practice

Prepare targeted professional applications for each role you apply for, with tailored resumes and cover letters written for an Australian audience. Demonstrate evidence of your relevant capabilities and the value you will bring to the employer, and use your industry and employer research to demonstrate your interest in the role and employer.

Know your strengths and be prepared to talk about your relevant skills, experience and professional interests. It is a good idea to consider interview questions that may be asked, based on the position description, and practice your responses to develop your confidence. The Careers Centre offers workshops which can help you prepare for your interview.

7. Strategise and stay confident

Engage in activities that will keep your energy levels high as well as maintain your focus on the job search. Be open to job opportunities that allow you to further develop professional skills and experience. For instance, you may consider applying to small/medium organisations, startups or temporary roles.

You can also network within expatriate communities to find opportunities that will make the most of your language skills or cultural understanding.

Above all, stay positive, be persistent, learn from feedback and keep your options open - you never know where it may lead you!

Why volunteer with animals in Africa?

As a traveller, there is simply no other experience that brings you closer to Africa's wildlife, communities and conservation professionals than volunteering. You'll find yourself working alongside highly skilled individuals every day, gaining unparalleled access to - and a unique perspective on - Africa's wildlife, rural communities and the challenges they face.

Spending time as a wildlife conservation volunteer in Africa, you'll also discover the sense of excitement that comes from being able to recognise individual animals even within a wild area or a large group of similar animals. This is something many of our wildlife volunteers tell us is the most profound memory from their time in Africa. For some, it's also the reason they return to volunteer with wildlife in Africa again and again.

There's no denying the work can sometimes be challenging. But as you sit down to a well-earned dinner each evening you'll be able to reflect on the many incredible things you've seen, done and learned that day. What's more, you'll be supporting conservation projects and initiatives at the very forefront of wildlife conservation in southern Africa. Their ongoing success will be the legacy of your time spent as a conservation volunteer in Africa.

Who volunteers and works with animals in Africa?

Whether you're an animal lover who wants to work with wildlife in Africa, a student looking for exciting wildlife internships, or someone planning a career sabbatical who has always dreamed of doing something meaningful while seeing the world, wildlife conservation volunteering is for you.

Different ways of volunteering with animals

We offer a range of wildlife volunteering opportunities in southern Africa to meet the needs of every individual traveller. Many people with a background (or a future) in biology and conservation are drawn to our wildlife research and management, wildlife rehabilitation and care, and marine conservation experiences. Likewise, our veterinary volunteering experiences are very popular with veterinary students seeking a wildlife internship in Africa as well as qualified vets looking to test themselves in a new environment.

Elephants and Views of Mount Kilimanjaro

With a spectacular backdrop of the snowy peak of Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is just under 400 km² in size, and is the second most popular game viewing destination in Kenya, after the Masai Mara.

The Park is most famous for its elephant population, where herds of up to 100 can be found drinking at one of the swampy springs that filter up through the rock from an endless underground water supply directly from Kili's ice cap. Some of the bull elephants found here also have incredibly long and impressive tusks.

Also roaming the open, flat and dusty grasslands are buffalo, wildebeest, giraffe, zebra, impala and warthog. Not surprisingly, never far away from these herds of grazers are lion, leopard, cheetah, jackal and hyena - who are always on the look out for vunerable prey.

The birdlife is also extremely good with over 400 bird species recorded, including over 40 birds of prey.

Other attractions of a stay here include opportunities to meet local Masai tribes, who tend their cattle in villages on the outskirts of the Park's boundaries.

There are only a couple of lodges inside the actual Park inself, so visitors to Amboseli can also stay in one of the neighbouring private conservancies.

This East African country that's drained by the Congo River, shelters some popular indigenous tribes including the Maasai and the Kikuyu tribes. Kenya is famous for its wildlife, and a large population of Africa's Big 5 can be spotted here. Bordered by the Indian Ocean on the eastern part, Kenya was once a hub of traders who traveled from the European countries to the Asian countries. The volunteering projects in Kenya are located in the capital city of Nairobi - one of the bustling African cities that's aiming to grow with each passing day.

Whether it's the Giraffe Manor where you can share your breakfast with the long-necked ones or a wildlife safari to catch a glimpse of the elephants and lions or a hike around Mt.Kenya - the country has too much in store to offer its visitors. Volunteering in Kenya would undoubtedly be an experience to cherish forever!

Here are some useful tips that'll certainly help you while volunteering in Kenya:

Learn a few local words

This is the best part of a volunteering journey - you get to mingle a lot with the local ones and spend quality time with them. If you learn a couple of local words, like Jambo (hello) and Asante (thanks), then it would be great! (Google surely will help you to catch a few more words!) Knowing a bit of their language would make them feel more connected to you, and they'll believe that you are there to do something good for them. It's nothing but a step to get closer to the locals.

Carry enough water to keep yourself hydrated

Kenyan weather is usually hot and it's advisable to carry bottled water with you. During the day, while working at your project site, you need to be active and therefore it's essential to keep yourself hydrated. Drinking a lot of water will be good for you.

Dress moderately

Unlike the Western world, Kenyan folks aren't quite okay with people wearing shorts and tight clothes. Carry loose and comfortable clothes. Remember that a volunteering trip is very different from a luxury holiday, and most of your time will be spent with the locals. So you need to dress appropriately.

Don't expect Wifi (or internet facilities) everywhere!

Kenya still doesn't have access to the fastest internet services, and there will be a lot of places where you might have to survive without it! Apart from a few restaurants, most of the eateries don't have wifi. Even at places where you'll find the internet, don't expect amazing speed.

Take a ride on the public mode of transport

Well. eventually, you'll get to take them quite a few times during your volunteering trip. The most popular mode of transport is the matatu (minivan taxis), that can be spotted carrying people from one destination to another. Matatus are a reflection of popular culture and the Kenyan experience. Be safe from pickpocketing while taking a ride!

Be safe with your possessions

Don't carry too much cash with you while traveling. Keep your things safely at the accommodation and consult the in-country coordinator in case you need any help. Make sure not to show off your expensive gadgets to the locals, because there might be a high chance of things getting stolen! The Kenyans are nice people and their mentality is not to harm you - it's just that they are still not used to a lot of things that are available in the developed countries, and there's a possibility of things getting stolen. It's advisable to not go out at night with expensive possessions.

Seek permission before taking photographs

Make sure not to take pictures of government establishments and people (especially women) without seeking permission. If you click photographs without asking, they might get offended. Tourists usually look forward to taking photographs of the Maasai folks, and if they get offended, they might come and ask for money. And if you'll ask, they would happily agree for a click, mostly!

Don't miss the delicious cuisine at The Carnivore restaurant

One of a kind restaurant in the world, The Carnivore is a place for all foodies! One of Nairobi's main attractions, this restaurant serves an array of wild game meat in a buffet-style, that includes zebra, gazelle, wildebeest, crocodile, camel among other seasonal treats. You shall not find so many options anywhere else in the world!

Do take a safari trip

The last but not the least, how can one miss going for a wildlife safari while in Kenya? Kenya is one of Africa's prime game-viewing areas, renowned for its dramatic scenery, magnificent game parks, and abundant wildlife. You'll surely get to spot Africa's Big 5. It would be one of the best experiences ever! Whether you choose to go for a game drive in Nairobi National Park or at Maasai Mara or maybe, Amboseli - you'll be awestruck, witnessing the animals in their natural habitat.

To book your safari trip, got to the 'My Account' section and select 'Add On Tour'. You can also drop us a mail at [email protected] for more information about the volunteer programs & trips!

Know More About The Volunteering Opportunities In Kenya:

Volunteering Solutions has been hosting participants in Kenya for almost a decade now, and it's surely one of the most popular volunteering destinations in Africa. There's this ethnic and cultural diversity and the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, Mount Kilimanjaro, the beaches of Mombasa and the list is endless - but that is just not all. There's immense scope of development, and the underprivileged people living hard lives do need a little support from the volunteers.

Volunteering with children is undoubtedly the most rewarding experience for anyone. We provide hands-on work involved with the abandoned kids, living in a childcare center in the outskirts of Nairobi. Volunteers will work in tandem with local staff and help in feeding & dressing the toddlers & infants, helping with homework and keeping the little ones engaged with games or other such activities. Trust me when I say this - it'll surely be one of the most heartwarming experiences of your life and you'll return home with memories that would last for a lifetime!

Under this program, volunteers mostly assist the teaching of different subjects in Kenyan elementary and high schools, however, the main focus is on English - grammar & vocabulary. Volunteers also work in community schools to teach English, mathematics, science, geography, social sciences, history, physical education, art, and music. You don't need to have a TEFL certificate to participate in this program.

This is a perfect program for all pre-med, medical & nursing students, who are keen to travel for a medical mission trip and contribute effectively. There is a shortage of medical staff in the government hospitals of Kenya and volunteers play a very important role. Placement is provided in medical clinics and hospitals in Nairobi where you can volunteer and help people lead a better life! Not just that, but it'll also help you to gain first-hand international work experience.

If you have just a couple of weeks in hand, and wish to travel & volunteer in Kenya simultaneously - then we have the best choice for you! Work at a childcare center, aiming to make a difference in the lives of the little ones by showering them with utmost love and care. Additionally, volunteers at the project also get to spend adequate time with the indigenous Maasai people and understand their ways of living. And of course, you'll get to explore Maasai Mara as well!

For those who have a time crunch, yet craving for a meaningful volunteering experience in Kenya - come & join us for a week's time! This program would be perfect for those who have very little time in hand yet keen to travel to Kenya and volunteer for a meaningful cause. As a volunteer, you'll be working in a Childcare Center, where the orphaned and abandoned babies are sheltered.
Your main role would be to shower these adorable little ones with the love and care that they deserve.

It is about a 6-hour drive from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara, but a very scenic one across Kenya's countryside. You will also pass the Great Rift Valley and the escarpment's viewpoint at Mai Mahiu.

The most common point of entry into Kenya for a safari is Nairobi, which is one of Africa's biggest transport hubs, with a multitude of international direct flights. The main airport is Jomo Kenyatta International (NBO.)

KML: Amsterdam to Nairobi

What is the currency in Kenya/ Maasai Mara?

The official currency in Kenya is the Kenyan shilling (KSh.) You can use most major credit cards in many of the resorts, lodges, bars and restaurants, such as MasterCard or Visa.

Is there malaria in the Maasai Mara?

Due to the high elevation of the Maasai Mara and Nairobi, malaria is a very low risk as mosquitos do not live at those elevations. However, there are other regions of Kenya, so we recommend you speak to your doctor about the right medication before travelling.

What is the weather like in the Maasai Mara?

Best time to visit - June to October and January to February

High Season - July to November (during the migration) and January to February

Low Season - March to May

Best Weather - June to October (little to no rainfall)

Rainy Season - March, April and May

June to October (Dry Season)

This is one of the best times to visit the Maasai Mara. Not only is the weather considered to be the best during this time, but this is also when the Great Migration is in full action. The migration is determined by the seasonal rains and the availability of grazing. The migration commences after the rainy season. The dry season also allows for better wildlife spotting opportunities, as the bush is less dense, but also as water becomes less available, therefore wildlife congregates around the waterholes and rivers. There is little chance of rain. However, you can expect to see large crowds of people, as this is one of the most popular times to come to the Maasai Mara.

November to May (Wet Season)

Despite being the rainy season, the wet season brings new opportunities in the Maasai Mara. The scenery is beautiful and green and due to the rains, this is one of the quietest times of the year to visit. You can expect to see more new-born animals and in general, you can still see plenty of wildlife, without the crowds you can expect to see in the dry season. With the exception of March, April and May, rain is usually short, sharp showers in the afternoons or evening, therefore are unlikely to disturb your safari experience. However, from March to May, rain can be continuous.

What electrical plugs are used in Maasai Mara / Kenya?

The majority of pocket sockets found in Maasai Mara and Kenya are Type G, as found in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

What Languages are spoken in the Maasai Mara?

The two official languages spoken in Kenya are English and Swahili. The other two widely spoken regional languages in Kenya are Kikuyu and Luhya.

What animals are found in the Maasai Mara?

The Maasai Mara is one of Africa's most famous and iconic national parks. Known as Kenya's flagship park, the vast amounts of game and home to the 'Big 5,' the elephant, the lion, the leopard, the rhino and the buffalo. Sightings of the Big 5 are pretty much guaranteed and nowhere else in the world can offer the same sort of idyllic African wildlife experience as the Maasai Mara. Wildebeest and zebra migrate in their astonishing numbers between the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara, creating the setting for the 'Greatest Wildlife Show on the Planet.'

Volunteering Safety Tips

Avoid travelling alone, especially at night.

Don't walk around the campgrounds at night.

When travelling, keep all important documents and valuables in a safe place like a hidden pocket or money belt.

Do not carry excessive amounts of cash on you. Only bring what you need for the day.

Don't wear expensive jewellery or watches.

Be wary of people who seem too friendly too fast.

Keep your camera out of sight and always keep bags and purses in your sight. Do not leave unattended.

Don't get too close to wildlife and don't feed them. Remember, you will be living around the wild game.

Be aware of your surroundings and that the animals you will be researching are wild. Remain calm at all times and listen to our highly experienced guides.

Use the safe spaces provided for you and don't leave valuables lying around the lodge, your room or in an open space.

You will be working outdoors, in a new and different community and environment. Ensure you listen to project staff and respect the local rules and customs at all times.

We strongly recommend you bring a supply of sunscreen cream for the hot African sun - SPF30 and above. We also suggest you bring a hat and a water bottle with you, as you will be in the sun for a good portion of the day.Even if the sky is overcast, the sun is strong enough to cause burning.

It is very possible to get dehydrated during your time with us due to the strong sun. Don't let that be you - please, please, drink lots of water!

D'une manière générale, le marché de l'emploi japonais est conservateur et reste difficilement accessible aux étrangers. Une très bonne maîtrise du japonais est souvent un prérequis pour trouver un travail localement. Ceci est à la fois valable pour les entreprises japonaises mais aussi pour les entreprises étrangères, majoritairement composées de japonais.

C'est pourquoi, il est important de bien réfléchir à son projet professionnel avant d'envisager son installation au Japon. Afin de vous renseigner au mieux, la CCI France Japon a réalisé un guide complet : Travailler au Japon.

II) The advantages of going to Italy with Erasmus

# data[].attributes.subject
II) The advantages of going to Italy with Erasmus

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
L'Italie est l'une des destinations favorites des étudiants participants au programme Erasmus. Sur l'année scolaire 2017-2018, le pays a attiré pas loin de 28 000 jeunes dont plus de 20 000 étudiants. Parmi les étudiants français partant en programme Erasmus, l'Italie est la quatrième destination préférée.

Si le pays attire autant d'étudiants, c'est notamment dû à son climat agréable, sa culture, sa cuisine mais également la qualité de ses universités. En effet, les universités de Bologne et de Rome sont reconnues comme faisant partie des meilleures universités au monde.

1. Qui peut partir en Erasmus en Italie ?

Le programme Erasmus pour l'Italie s'adresse aux étudiants remplissant les critères suivants :

1. Être étudiant en France au sein d'un cursus de l'enseignement supérieur

2. Avoir atteint au moins la deuxième année de vos études supérieures

3. Suivre son cursus au sein d'un établissement ayant signé la charte Erasmus + et disposant de partenariats inter-insitutions avec des universités et établissements en Italie

4. Suivre un cursus vous permettant de partir à l'étranger, et disposant d'équivalences agrées avec des universités italiennes

5. Atteindre un niveau d'Italien ou d'anglais (selon la langue d'enseignement) suffisant pour suivre un ou plusieurs semestres d'études en Italie.

6. Disposer d'un budget sufisant pour financer votre échange universitaire en Italie

Si l'ensemble de ces conditions sont remplies, vous avez toutes les chances de pouvoir partir avec Erasmus+ en Italie dans le cadre de vos études ! Et n'oubliez pas, si vous ne pouvez pas partir pour étudier, les stages sont aussi couverts par le programme.

2. Quels sont les avantages à partir avec Erasmus en Italie ?

1. Un pays offrant d'innombrables endroits à visiter

L'Italie est l'une des premières destinations touristiques au monde avec près de 94 millions de touristes en 2019.

Rome, Naples, Florence, les Cinque Terres, la côte amalfitaine ou encore Milan, vivre un Erasmus en Italie, c'est avoir énormément de lieux incroyables à porter de main grâce au très bon réseau ferrovier qui relie tout le pays. Vous êtes assuré de ne pas vous ennuyer durant votre séjour !

2. La cuisine italienne

Que ce soient les pizzas, les pâtes ou bien les glaces, les plats italiens sont mondialement connus et appréciés et vous pourrez profiter de votre séjour Erasmus pour déguster des plats divins.

Si la cuisine italienne peut paraître peu variée de prime abord, chaque région italienne a ses propres spécialités et vous pourrez apprécier d'excellentes spécialités dans chacune d'entre elles.

3. Une richesse culturelle

Si le pays attire tant de monde, c'est parce qu'il regorge de trésors artistiques et de ruines antiques.

L'histoire passionante et complexe de l'Italie rend ses villes particulièrement intéressantes à visiter et vous pourrez profiter de certains des plus beaux musées au monde tels que la gallerie des Offices à Florence ou bien les musées du Vatican.

4. Une qualité de vie agréable avec un coût accessible

Lorsque l'on parle de la " dolce vita " italienne, c'est notamment pour le climat italien, bien plus doux en hiver qu'en France.

Si le climat peut être un point important lors de votre choix de destination Erasmus, le coût de la vie sur place est également un argument clé : bien que la vie en Italie ne soit pas donnée, vous paierez 12% moins cher qu'en France selon le comparateur Numbeo.

5. Un enseignement universitaire de renommée mondiale

L'Italie compte 30 universités parmis les 1 000 premières au classement Shanghai, soit le 3 ème pays avec le plus d'université dans le classement, derrière les États-Unis et la Chine.

De plus, 3 universités italiennes font partis du top 200 du classement Shanghai : l'université de Rome, l'université de Milan et l'université de Pise.

6. Une vie étudiante dynamique
Lors de votre séjour Erasmus, vous pourrez découvrir l'aperitivo, un concept proposé dans la plupart des bars italiens et qui est très populaire.

Si l'aperitivo est né en Italie du nord, il est maintenant répandu dans tout le pays. Le principe est proche de l'happy hour mais le verre de vin ou le cocktail est accompagné de plusieurs amuses bouches tels que de la charcuterie, des bruschettas, etc. De manière générale, les Italiens aiment beaucoup se retrouver en dehors de chez eux et sortir, rendant la vie nocturne dynamique.

Bien qu'il y ait de nombreux avantages à partir en Erasmus en Italie, il faut tout de même connaître les quelques points suivants avant de vous lancer dans votre projet :

1. Les salaires sont plus faibles qu'en France

L'Italie a beau être un pays frontalier avec la France, le coût de la vie et les salaires sont différents de chaque côté de la frontière.

Si le coût de la vie est plus faible en Italie, les salaires sont pratiquement 30% inférieurs aux salaires français et vous aurez un pouvoir d'achat inférieur en Italie si vous comptez seulement sur un job étudiant sur place pour financer votre Erasmus.

2. L'italien est peu parlé dans le monde

Si votre échange pourra vous permettre de progresser en italien, vous pourrez utiliser vos connaissances presque uniquement en Italie puisque l'italien est parlé seulement en Suisse (dans le sud) et à Saint Martin en dehors de l'Italie. Cela représente un total de 63 millions de personnes l'utilisant comme première langue, et près de 3 millions de pratiquants en temps que seconde langue.

Si l'italien peut vous être utile professionnelement, notamment si vous habitez dans le sud de la France, vous ne pourrez pas beaucoup l'utiliser à l'international.

3. Le taux de chômage est élevé

Si le taux de chômage est passé en dessous de la barre symbolique des 10% depuis le début de l'année 2020, le pays est toutefois beaucoup plus touché par le chômage que le reste de l'Union Européenne.

Ainsi vous aurez sûrement plus de difficultés à trouver un emploi étudiant sur place.

3. Quelles sont les démarches pour partir en Erasmus en Italie ?

Se renseigner dès le début du projet

Les démarches à suivre varient selon votre établissement mais les différentes étapes restent généralement identiques. Vous devrez tout d'abord contacter votre université pour savoir si vous pouvez faire un échange en Italie et, si oui, dans quelles universités italiennes.

Des sessions d'informations pour le programme Erasmus + sont généralement organisées en début d'année, vers le mois d'Octobre. C'est généralement le point de départ pour commencer à effectuer l'ensemble des démarches.

En parallèle, vous devez vous renseigner afin de comprendre comment fonctionne le système universitaire italien, notamment pour comprendre le nombre de cours qui vous attend, le travail à fournir, le type d'évaluation ou bien le fonctionnement de la vie sur place.

Préparer son dossier d'inscription

Une fois cela fait, vous pourrez passer les examens de langue attestant de votre niveau d'italien ou de votre niveau d'anglais selon les instituts auxquels vous postulez pour faire votre échange.

Dans le cas de l'Italie, le CILS est généralement l'examen demandé pour accéder aux universités italiennes proposant des cours en italien mais vous pourrez également être amené à devoir passer les examens TOEFL ou IELTS, qui évaluent votre niveau d'anglais, si vous demandez à faire un Erasmus dans un établissement italien proposant des cours en anglais.

Après avoir validé le niveau nécessaire pour faire une demande d'échange en Italie, vous pourrez alors commencer à préparer votre dossier de candidature pour un séjour Erasmus.

Pour aller plus loin : Les démarches pour un échange universitaire avec Erasmus

Comprendre le système universitaire italien

Avant votre départ, il est important que vous passiez du temps pour comprendre le système universitaire italien, notamment les différents types de formation offerts, le volume des cours, les méthodes de travail ou encore le niveau de langue exigé.

Toutefois il existe certaines différences entre le système français et le système italien, notamment sur l'importance de l'oral : en Italie, les examens se font souvent à l'oral en Italie, ce qui peut poser problème à certains étudiants.

Concernant l'Italie, nous vous conseillons de vous intéresser aux articles suivants :

S'intéresser aux universités italiennes

Si le nombre d'université est bien inférieur en Italie qu'en France, le pays accueille toutefois 1,7 million d'étudiants dans l'enseignement supérieur, ce qui fait que les universités accueillent chacune énormément d'étudiants.

65 universités d'État polyvalentes (università degli studi), qui proposent des cursus dans à peu près tous les domaines

3 universités régionales

20 universités privées (libere università) officiellement reconnues par le ministère de l'éducation. Parmi ces universités, quatre sont particulièrement reconnues dans leur domaine (Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma, Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi, Università Vita Salute San Raffaele and LUISS Guido Carli).

11 universités télématiques (c'est-à-dire en ligne) officiellement reconnues

4 instituts supérieurs des industries artistiques, qui sont des établissements publics sélectifs

3 universités technologiques supérieures (Politecnici), dont une spécialisée en architecture et deux spécialisées en ingénierie, qui sont les universités pour ceux qui suivent une formation d'ingénieur

3 grandes écoles, qui proposent des programmes de doctorat et quelques masters. Parmi ces écoles d'excellence, on retrouve une branche de l'École Normale Supérieure à Pise. Ils existent également des grandes écoles qui sont rattachées à des universités.

2 universités pour étrangers (à Sienne et à Pérouse)

Parmi ces établissements, les universités qui ont envoyé et reçu le plus d'étudiants en 2018 dans le cadre des échanges Erasmus sont (dans l'ordre) :

Alma Mater Studiorum - Université de Bologne (Bologna)

Université de Padoue (Padova)

Sapienza - Université de Rome

Si ces établissements font partis des institutions accueillant le plus grand nombre d'étudiants en échange Erasmus, vous avez la possibilité de faire un Erasmus dans la plupart des universités italiennes. Il faut vous renseigner directement auprès de votre établissement pour savoir quelles universités italiennes sont en partenariat avec votre institution.

4. Est-ce que je peux partir étudier en Italie sans Erasmus ?

S'inscrire directement aux universités italiennes

Pour vous inscrire à l'université en Italie sans Erasmus, vous devez directement transmettre votre dossier à l'université qui vous intéresse, que cela soit pour une licence ou un master. Pour votre dossier, vous aurez notamment besoin des résultats d'un examen de langue évaluant votre niveau en italien, de vos relevés de notes et d'un formulaire de demande d'inscription.

Bon à savoir : Se faire accompagner pour s'inscrire

Vous souhaitez vous inscrire à une université en Italie mais n'êtes pas confortable à l'idée de réaliser les démarches seules ? Study Experience est spécialisée dans l'accompagnement des étudiants souhaitant réaliser un cursus à l'étranger, et propose une alternative accessible aux séjours Erasmus.
Pour en savoir plus, n'hésitez pas à contacter Study Experience !

Les avantages et inconvénients de l'inscription indépendante

Avant de décider de partir étudier en Italie sans Erasmus, il est important de bien prendre en compte les avantages mais aussi les inconvénients d'un tel séjour :

1. Vous pouvez profiter de l'Italie pendant plusieurs années.

Vous rejoignez le pays pour un cursus complet d'au moins 2 à 3 ans, ce qui vous laisse le temps de voyager en Italie et de profiter des merveilles que le pays abrite. Dans le cadre de votre cursus, il vous sera même possible de partir avec Erasmus dans un autre pays.

2. Vous pouvez intégrer des parcours d'excellence

En échange universitaire, de nombreux facteurs sont à prendre en compte : les accords en place, les périodes de départ, la concurrence avec les autres étudiants, le nombre de place ou encore les équivalences avec votre cursus. Il devient donc plus difficile de viser un établissement italien en particulier.

3. Vous pouvez diminuer le coût de vos études

En profitant d'un coût de la vie légèrement plus faible sur place et de frais d'inscription plutôt bas dans les universités publiques italiennes (en général autour de 1 000 € par an). Si les formations à l'université française sont généralement moins chères, les Grandes Écoles privées facturent jusqu'à 15 000 € par an. S'inscrire directement sur place peut donc réduire la facture drastiquement !

Il existe néanmois certains inconvénients à partir étudier en Italie sans le programme Erasmus :

1. Votre diplôme italien pourrait vous désavantager en France

Si les universités italiennes proposent des formations de grande qualité, elles sont généralement moins connues par les recruteurs français.

Un cursus entièrement réalisé en Italie peut rendre votre début de carrière plus complexe si vous souhaitez rentrer sur des postes très sélectifs (Audit, Finance, Grandes groupes).

2. Les possibilités d'embauche en Italie sont plus limitées qu'en France

La situation économique de l'Italie est moins bonne qu'en France. Le marché de l'emploi est donc moins attractif, avec un taux de chômage proche des 30% pour les 15-24 ans, et 13.9% pour les 25-34 ans (respectivement 20,8% et 8,5% en France).

Les opportunités d'embauche à la fin de vos études sont donc moins importantes en Italie qu'en France dans la plupart des secteurs.

3. Les passerelles sont difficiles à faire avant l'obtention de votre diplôme

Si vous décidez de partir étudier en Italie sans faire un programme Erasmus, vous vous engagez à finir votre cursus en Italie.

En effet, si l'Union Européenne a créé des équivalences au niveau européen, il reste encore laborieux de changer d'établissement en milieu de parcours et vous devrez généralement attendre l'obtention de votre diplôme (Bac +3 ou Bac +5) pour pouvoir changer d'établissement.

6. À quelle aide financière puis-je prétendre lors de mon séjour Erasmus en Italie ?

Quel est le montant de la bourse Erasmus + en Italie ?

Tous les étudiants français ayant été acceptés dans le cadre d'un échange universitaire avec un établissement italien peuvent bénéficier d'une aide mensuelle comprise entre 250 € et 300 € valable tout au long de leur échange académique.

Cette aide ne vise pas à financer entièrement votre séjour en Italie et vous aurez besoin d'argent en plus de la bourse Erasmus pour pouvoir subvenir à vos besoins sur place.

D'autres aides financières sont-elles disponibles ?

Pour compléter ces revenus, vous pouvez également obtenir un job étudiant sur place ou bien prendre un prêt étudiant.
Plus d'informations : "La bourse Erasmus + et autres aides financières"
7. Combien va me coûter mon séjour Erasmus en Italie ?

Quel est le coût de la vie en Italie par rapport à la France ?

L'Italie est un pays avec un coût de la vie plus faible qu'en France mais cette différence est plus ou moins marquée en fonction de la ville où vous allez étudier sur place .

Si le coût de la vie est plus faible dans le Sud de l'Italie, les prix restent toutefois proches des prix français dans le Nord de l'Italie ainsi que dans les grandes villes telles que Rome ou Milan.

Quel budget mensuel est nécessaire pour un Erasmus en Italie ?

Les loyers, plus élevés dans les plus grandes villes italiennes, sont la principale source des écarts entre les différentes villes, toutefois vous verrez également des différences dans les prix des bars et des restaurants entre les villes touristiques et le reste de l'Italie.

Selon si vous dépensez beaucoup ou peu, vous pouvez estimer le budget suivant :

En prenant en compte la bourse Erasmus, de combien ai-je besoin ?

En prenant la bourse Erasmus en compte, un étudiant devra donc prévoir de payer entre 400 € et 1 050 € par mois pour subvenir à ses besoins.

Bien que ce budget soit conséquent, il est légèrement plus faible que le budget mensuel nécessaire pour étudier en France et vous pourrez peut être toucher d'autres aides en plus de la bourse Erasmus pour diminuer ce montant.

8. Comment préparer mon départ pour mes études en Italie ?

Une fois votre admission confirmée, il est temps de préparer votre départ ! Voici les principaux points à considérer avant votre départ :

1. Prendre connaissance des dates clés pour votre semestre de rentrée. Vous devez connaître le calendrier universitaire de votre université d'accueil, généralement accessible en quelques clics. Ne ratez sous aucun prétexte la ou les semaines d'intégration en début de semestre, car il s'agit du grand départ de votre expérience Erasmus !

2. La réservation d'un vol en direction de l'Italie.

9. Comment va se dérouler mon séjour Erasmus une fois en Italie ?

S'informer au maximum lors de votre arrivée

Pour obtenir des informations plus précises, vous pouvez consulter les sites des universités italiennes dans lequelles vous souhaitez faire un Erasmus puisque la plupart propose des informations pour les étudiants souhaitant faire un séjour Erasmus au sein de leur établissement, avec notamment des renseignements sur le calendrier scolaire et comment préparer votre séjour.

Voici quelques uns de ces sites :

Une fois ces pages bien étudiées, vous pourrez partir l'esprit tranquille pour faire votre séjour Erasmus en Italie !

Choisir ses cours et modules

Lors de votre arrivée sur place, le service pour les étudiants étrangers vous accueillera et vous guidera dans les principales étapes de votre installation, notamment dans le choix de vos cours.

En Italie, chaque étudiant est responsable de son programme de cours et vous devrez décider, lors des premières semaines de votre échange universitaire en Italie, votre choix final des cours que vous allez suivre pendant votre séjour Erasmus.

Valider ses choix avec son établissement en France

Durant ce processus, vous devrez bien vous mettre en contact avec votre établissement en France pour vous assurer que les cours que vous avez choisis sont validés par votre établissement et qu'ils vous permettront d'obtenir les crédits ECTS que vous avez besoin de valider lors de votre séjour Erasmus.

Calling all animal lovers - endangered African Penguins are supported by the rehabilitation and conservation centre in Port Elizabeth! This volunteer program is especially suitable for:

The South African Marine Rehabilitation and Education Centre ( SANCCOB ), a non-profit organization in Port Elizabeth, South Africa; is focused on the care of sick or injured African Penguins (also known as Jackass Penguins) as well as other marine birds such as gannets, cormorants and seagulls. The work of SANCCOB is vital for the safety of the largest breeding colony of African Penguins in the world which is situated on St Croix Island right off the shore of Port Elizabeth in the Indian Ocean.

This is the only centre in Port Elizabeth that has the capacity to collect washed-up penguins who are sick, hurt or exhausted; and to treat any diseases they may have, give them a vitamin boost, fatten them up and release them into the bay again.

They will re-learn how to catch fish independently with a definite advantage, being made fit and fat by volunteers.

There are currently only 25 000 breeding pairs of African Penguins left in the world, and 21000 of those are mostly right here on our doorstep in Algoa Bay.

The centre's purpose isn´t just to rescue and rehabilitate, but also to inform and educate the general public through their different programs. The extensive displays at the centre give tourists, school groups and other visitors the opportunity to learn about these endangered birds but also a wider variety of marine life in the beautiful and incredibly diverse Algoa Bay.

Volunteers are needed for the diversity of tasks that come with caring for the penguins and other rescued birds, as well as the educational purpose of the centre. Volunteers will feed and clean the penguins, maintain their enclosures, welcome visitors and guide them through the educational centre, go out on occasional rescues and assist with releases.

As a volunteer you will generally work closely with the people who work at the rehabilitation centre from 8.30AM until 5PM including the following tasks.

Hands-on work with penguins and other marine birds

Assistance on educational visitor tours

Cleaning and feeding of the penguins

Helping to release rehabilitated birds

General, centre-related tasks

The Eastern Cape and the surroundings of Port Elizabeth show a large variety of natural beauty and make PE a great central place to visit the variety of South Africa. To the East you will find the Wild coast (former Transkei and Ciskei) which is mostly rural and undeveloped, but closer you will find Addo Elephant Part and great coastal villages such as Port Alfred. To the North you will find the great Karoo; a semi desert area with wide open spaces, large nature areas and long open roads with historical places such as Graaff Reinet, the Baviaanskloof Wilderness and much more. To the East towards Cape Town, you will be amazed by the Tsitsikamma National Park, holiday villages such as Plettenberg Bay, Knysna and natures Valley or the surf mecca of Jeffrey's Bay. This gives you plenty to see and visit while you are here.
In Port Elizabeth there are a lot of things to do as well. You can go sandboarding on the Sunday river, to Sardinia bay for a day on the beach or visit one of the museums from Nelson Mandela.

To come to Canada as a temporary foreign worker, you must get a work permit. There are different kinds of work permits.

If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you need a work permit to work legally in Canada.

In general, you need to apply for a work permit from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or a Canadian visa office before you come to Canada. For these work permits:

You need to get a job offer from a Canadian employer before you apply.

The employer must apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).

ESDC will decide whether the employer can hire a foreign worker to fill the job.

There are special work permits for some kinds of workers. For example, there are special work permit programs for caregivers, business people and agricultural workers.

For more information, go to Working Temporarily in Canada on the IRCC website.

If You Are in Canada

If you are already in Canada, you may be eligible to apply for a special type of work permit.

For more information, go to Eligibility to Apply from Inside Canada.

Work Permits are Temporary

You cannot use a work permit to immigrate to Canada. If you want to come to Canada as a permanent resident based on your work skills and experience, see if you qualify to apply as a skilled worker.

Find more information about Immigrating to Ontario.

Can I become a permanent resident?

Temporary foreign workers can apply for permanent residence under these programs:

You must meet eligibility requirements to apply for these programs.
