Questions
What people ask before we start
01Where does the work start if I have not chosen a country yet?+
With your profile and your goal, not with a list of universities. We look at your academic record, your languages, your budget and your timescales, compare the education systems that suit them, and only then move on to programmes. You can come to us with nothing more than the wish to study abroad.
02How does support work if more than one country is involved?+
Applying to more than one country is possible and commonly done. Each country is a separate system of requirements, documents and deadlines, so parallel routes are planned in advance and brought into a single calendar. Support covering two countries is a separate format.
03How far in advance should I start?+
As a rule of thumb, twelve to eighteen months before the course begins. 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.
04How is a bureau different from an agency?+
An agency processes volume and offers ready-made packages, often working with a limited set of partner universities. A bureau takes one case and builds a strategy around it. We do not promise admission: that decision rests with the admissions committee, and no intermediary can influence it.
05Do you help with scholarships and the visa?+
Yes, both are part of the support. We assess funding while the universities are still being chosen, because some competitions close before admission decisions are made. Visa support continues after enrolment, through to the visa itself.
