Guidance for International Aspirants
Open Houses
The International Office conducts regular open houses for students who are inclined to explore opportunities outside India. These sessions are open for both formal and informal interactions providing maximum support to our students interested in semester exchanges, year-long programmes, study abroad or research opportunities.
Support with Application Process
The International Office supports RVU students in preparing the necessary documents for their applications. This includes assistance with Statements of Purpose (SOPs), visa formalities, language proficiency requirements, and any other documents required by the destination country—ensuring a seamless visa and application process.
Student Counselling Sessions
The International Office encourages students with specific queries related to their interests, choice of universities, or documentation requirements to request one-on-one counselling after attending the open houses. The International Office team is available on a regular basis to guide students in narrowing down their options and ensuring a smooth transition.
Pre-Departure Briefing
During the pre-departure briefing sessions, the team ensures that students are well-acquainted with the country they are travelling to. These sessions cover aspects such as culture, travel requirements, currency exchange, flight bookings, accommodation, insurance and more.
