Applying
for a master’s degree

Sometimes. It depends on your previous degree, the prerequisites and the terms of the particular programme. We assess which moves are open to you case by case.

There is no universal rule. Some programmes are built for recent graduates; others may expect professional experience. We check the requirements of each programme separately.

Yes, many programmes allow it. The exact requirements depend on the field and the university.

It depends on the programme. Some weigh the academic profile more heavily; others may take relevant professional experience into account. We therefore assess the profile as a whole.

It depends on the country, the university, the level of the degree and how far its content meets the requirements of the programme. We check academic compatibility for the options you choose.

Not necessarily IELTS. Each university decides which forms of proof of English it accepts: some take TOEFL, Duolingo or a Cambridge qualification, some set their own test, and some accept previous study in English. We check the requirements of your chosen programmes in advance and establish which certificate you need and by when.

Yes. We structure and strengthen the CV around the requirements of the chosen programmes and the wider application strategy.

Yes. We work on the logic and the structure, and on making the document persuasive, while keeping the applicant’s real story and goals intact.

It depends on the programme. Where references are required, we clarify what is asked for and plan how to obtain them.

Yes, and it is a common approach: it widens the choice and makes the strategy more robust. Each country is its own system of requirements, documents and deadlines, though, so parallel routes are planned in advance and brought into a single calendar.

Yes, where the selection process includes one. We go through the likely questions and prepare the applicant to talk about their experience and motivation confidently.

Funding depends on the country, the university and the programme. Where suitable options exist, we build them into the strategy and support you through each stage.

As a rule of thumb, twelve to eighteen months before the course starts. That timescale is set not by us but by external dates: the English test, the recognition of your qualifications, separate scholarship competitions and visa processing all run to their own calendars, and several of them close before the application itself.

Once an offer has been made, we advise on the main stages of the student visa process.

No, and nor can anyone else: admission is decided by the university’s admissions committee and the visa is issued by the consulate. EDMONT is responsible for what lies within our control: the strategy, the choice of programmes, the quality of the application and meeting the requirements and deadlines. Promises of “guaranteed admission” do not appear in our materials.
