Everything prospective students and parents typically ask us.
Our initial consultation is completely free. Service fees depend on the destination and package selected — we are transparent about all costs upfront with no hidden charges. Contact us for a detailed breakdown.
Requirements vary by country and program. Generally, a C+ and above opens most doors. Some destinations like Germany and China are more accessible for B– grades, while top UK and US universities typically require A– and above. We assess your profile individually.
Yes — most destinations allow part-time work. Australia permits 48 hrs/fortnight, the UK and Germany allow ~20 hrs/week, Canada allows 24 hrs/week, and Japan allows 28 hrs/week. The USA restricts work to on-campus roles (20 hrs/week) during term.
It depends on the destination. UK and Australia applications take 3–6 months from first consultation to visa. Canada and USA can take 6–12 months for competitive programs. We recommend starting at least one year before your intended intake date.
No agency can legally guarantee a visa — that decision rests with the embassy. However, our thorough visa coaching, financial documentation review, and mock interview preparation give our students significantly higher approval rates than the national average.
There are many — Chevening (UK), Fulbright (USA), CSC (China), GKS (South Korea), MEXT (Japan), DAAD (Germany), Commonwealth (UK), and Holland Scholarship (Netherlands). Several are fully funded. We actively identify and apply for all scholarships you qualify for.
Yes — public German universities charge no tuition fees for international students. You only pay a semester administration fee of roughly €100–400. You do need to show a blocked account (Sperrkonto) of approximately €11,208 for your visa application to cover living costs.
In many countries, yes. The UK, Canada, Australia, and Germany allow dependants (spouse and children) to accompany you on a student visa, subject to financial requirements. We advise on the specific conditions for each destination.
