Mexico is a very popular tourist destination. One does not really consider it for study abroad. That said, it does have some very good universities, as is the perfect place to study such subjects as Central American history, or colonial history. As a result, the British Council has created several scholarship programmes for those either seeking to, or are studying in Mexico. Not only this, but seeing as many people who study abroad often end up staying in their host country, those looking to leave the UK in light of the Brexit might be interested in going to Mexico.

Although Israel is a very advanced country technologically life can be quite hard. In fact, it is probably one of the most advanced in the world. We see this through their many scientific breakthroughs. This is also through the fact that a large number of wildly successful applications were developed there and have become extremely successful. Not least of which is Viber. The difficulty not only comes through the fact that it faces ongoing conflict, but also because in terms of income, it remains a middle-income country, with high-income country prices. As a result, anybody wishing to study there will have challenges in terms of financing themselves without the help of others. Thankfully, there is a lot of help available. One organisation which helps people to study in Israel is MASA Israel. MASA Israel seeks to make it as easy…
