Let's face it, university websites can be overwhelming and confusing. If you have ever tried to find your ideal study abroad course by doing Google searches, you will know just how daunting and time-consuming this task can be.
You may have been lucky and found the course of your dreams only to later find (after digging through layers of website pages) that you are not eligible or that the tuition fees are way out of your budget.
A good study abroad consultant can help you by navigating your ideal study abroad experience while adding value to the process by guiding you beyond the basics. Below are my top 5 reasons why seeking guidance from a study abroad consultant simply makes sense:
1. Customized Course Search
Harnessing the power of multiple education technology platforms and AI-powered search engines, study abroad consultants deliver only relevant information directly to you. They delve into your academic goals, personal preferences, and career aspirations, and then offer personalized recommendations on programs that align with your unique needs.
2. Expertise in Admission Requirements and Procedures
Study abroad consultants are familiar with the admission requirements and procedures of various universities worldwide. They provide detailed guidance on compiling application materials, such as transcripts, recommendation letters, and personal statements, tailored to meet the specific expectations of each institution.
3. Scholarship and Funding Expertise
Many students overlook lesser-known scholarships and funding opportunities available for international study. Study abroad consultants have insights into both mainstream and niche scholarships. They help students identify and apply for funding sources - including student loans - that can significantly alleviate financial burdens associated with studying abroad.
4. Navigating Visa Regulations
Study abroad consultants are well-versed in the intricacies of visa regulations for various countries. They provide crucial guidance on visa application processes, required documentation, and timelines. This ensures that students are well-prepared and can avoid common pitfalls that may delay or jeopardize their visa approval.
5. Insider Knowledge and Faster Processing Times
As industry insiders, study abroad consultants often have access to industry updates before they become public knowledge. Additionally, professional consultants can benefit from priority application status, meaning faster application turnaround times, sometimes reduced application fees, and additional application benefits like applying to multiple courses with just one application.
Above are just 5 of the many reasons why working with a study abroad consultant makes good sense. So, now that you understand more about how a study abroad consultant can add value to your journey, you're probably wondering how to choose a consultant. Luckily, we're here to help.

How do I know which country to choose?Choosing the right destination for you can be a tricky task. There are many factors which could influence this decision such as: the destination country's distance from your home country, the cost of living and studying there, the economic and political landscape, or simply your own personal preference. Some begin with a preference for a particular country and then search for universities and courses, while others begin with a preferred major and then search for the most reputable universities in that particular field, regardless of where they may be. Either way, our counsellors can help you focus on your own individual priorities to find the right location for you.

How much will it cost me to study abroad?Studying abroad can be one of the biggest financial investments you make in your life. It's important to understand the costs early in the process so that both you and your counsellor find the courses that match your budget. However, to answer the question of cost, we must first answer many others: which country? which university? which course? ... Then: how long is the course? undergraduate or postgraduate? am I considered an international student or am I eligible for local fees? As we can now see, the actual costs depend on many variables. Our counsellors will always provide accurate information to help you make sound financial decisions.
