How to write an American individual study abroad plan?

European and American countries often ask for a study plan when applying for an international student visa. Through the study plan, the visa officer can understand your background, choose the motivation and conditions of studying abroad, choose the reasons for studying abroad, make clear the future study schedule, career goals and reasons for returning to China, and decide whether to grant you a study visa with the help of reviewing your other materials. Therefore, the study plan is a key document. So what? Generally speaking, study plans can be divided into two categories according to the purpose of submission, namely, applying for an embassy visa or applying for admission to a school. The study plan used to apply for a school is essentially the same type of document as the personal statement. Please refer to the personal statement for the study plan applied by the school. Generally speaking, the study plan needs to include the following aspects: 1. Briefly explain your study experience, professional background and work experience; 3. A detailed timetable for studying abroad; 4. Introduce the funds and sources needed for studying abroad; 5. Explain the future career goals and the reasons for returning to China after studying abroad. The writing style and article structure of the study plan are quite different from personal statements, and there is no need for too many personalized and emotional descriptions. But the structure should be clear and simple, the logic should be strict, the facts should be clear, the relevant arguments should be strong and credible, the reasons for returning to China should be very sufficient, and there should be no contradiction with other materials of the applicant. Because embassy staff have to deal with a large number of documents every day, so the study plan must not be too long, generally not more than 800 words, and it is best to explain a problem in only one paragraph, and add a title before the paragraph, such as my choice of University of Toronto, Canada, my career goal, so that embassy staff can see the central idea of this paragraph at a glance. Your explanation should be very clear and easy to read, and you can't expect the embassy staff to dig out your potential content from your words. The key part of the study plan is the future career planning and the reasons for returning to China after studying abroad. Through this part, you can tell the embassy that studying in that country can really help your career development and have credible and powerful reasons to return to China. Although the country that requires a study plan is often an immigrant country, because the reason for applying for a visa is to study abroad, you must eliminate any immigrant tendency through a study plan. Finally, it should be emphasized that the study plan is very organized, logical, concise and powerful in English, which is difficult for most China applicants. Errors in grammar and logical relations often lead to deviations in understanding. Therefore, it is a good way to avoid the above disadvantages to ask specialized agencies to change the language of foreign experts. Of course, the applicant should also design and conceive a reading plan according to his own actual situation. And explain the above contents from different angles according to personal circumstances.
