In this article, we’ll walk you through key factors to consider when selecting a university and how Dolphin Edu can support you at every step.

1. Define Your Academic and Career Goals
Before comparing universities, start by identifying your long-term interests:
What subjects are you passionate about?
What kind of career do you envision for yourself?
Are you interested in a practical or research-oriented program?
When your goals are clear, selecting a program and university becomes much easier — and more meaningful.
Tip: Think about where you see yourself in 5–10 years. The right university should help you get there.

2. Explore University Rankings and Accreditation
Rankings shouldn’t be your only criteria, but they do give useful insight into a university’s academic reputation, research quality, and international environment. Accreditation is especially important — it ensures your degree will be recognized worldwide.
Look for:
National and international rankings
Accreditation by recognized agencies
Awards or partnerships with industry
Choosing an accredited university means choosing security for your future.
