What is a Pre-Departure Briefing?

A pre-departure briefing is a dedicated session organized by study abroad consultants to equip students with all the necessary information before flying to their destination country. It helps students overcome uncertainties, adapt to cultural differences, and manage practical aspects like banking, housing, and health care.

At Study Square Andhra, our expert counselors ensure students and their families feel confident and ready for this life-changing journey.
