Getting Started
Why study abroad?
A good starting point before you work towards studying abroad is establishing why you want to study abroad. This can help you determine your destination country and university choices. Your reason might be as simple as you want the adventure and you want to experience life in another country, or you have a deep interest in a particular country, or you have always wanted to attend a particular university, or your chosen university has an excellent programme for your area of study. Be clear on what’s motivating you and if that leads you to a particular country or choice of universities, let that be your guide.
No matter where you choose and why, make sure the programme you’re taking meets your requirements and will give you the choices you want once your studies are completed.
Consider getting help to make your decision. Student counsellors and agents who specialise in helping students study abroad can be a great resource. Chat with our Advisors. Get recommendations. Check references and Google reviews. Do your homework before you hire someone to help you.

What should I plan to do in terms of internships, academic contests and research projects before going abroad?
With increasing competition in international university applications, particularly those of high ranking, an applicant’s overall education background and experience outside classrooms have become major indicators which admission officers are paying attention to. As a result, internships at recognized organizations, awards won in academic contests and research projects at renowned institutes are increasingly important, and are deemed as key differentiators of applicants whose GPA are close. Our advisors will help students to plan and choose the right programs to join, and gradually build up his/her advantages for future applications.

Eligibility

There is a valid duration for all the exam results listed above. For example, the result of an IELTS test would be valid for two years. Therefore you must ensure you have a valid score of required tests when you apply for any undergraduate or postgraduate programs. Most universities in most common wealth countries would accept applications without a language test score, and would make conditional offers requiring students to submit the needed valid scores at a later stage.

The criteria vary from program to program, and school to school. Our experienced advisors would help clients to conduct in-depth research in target programs, and help students identify his or her personal interest, strengths and weaknesses. Through the research and interview process, we aim to help the students to find the best matches of programs and universities, and develop a good understanding of the gap between target programs and his/her present background.

- To study for a bachelor’s degree, recommended eligibility is a 3.0 or higher grade point average
- To study for a Master’s degree, minimum grade point average is 3.0
I have got X years work experience, how would this benefit my applications and study abroad?
Work experience will be taken into account, and usually favorable to applications. In addition, applicants of this type usually have strong motivation in personal development and clear understanding of what he or she aims to learn and achieve from the target programs. With an equivalent education background to other competitors and additional work experience, an applicant would usually get a better chance to enter target programs in target universities.
