If you’re in the last year of school or are considering going on to higher education, you might be thinking of where to go to university. While many may consider studying abroad, foreign universities have their own application procedures in place which is where an education consultant can help. By acting as a meditator, counsellors and university admissions consultants alike can help you save time and increase your chances of getting an offer.
Bespoke Advice and Guidance
One of the best parts about using an education consultancy is that they guide you through universities in your chosen location, consider other personal needs you may have (such as budgets, accommodation, etc.) and determine where it is that you are most likely to get into. They will also provide you with the knowledge and information needed when looking at critical aspects of an application.
Document Submissions
High school transcripts, English language tests and other entry requirements are asked for in the admissions process. Consultants can help match you to the most appropriate universities that you are likely to get in with your marks and abilities and make sure your application is accurate.
Personal Statement Writing
One of the most critical parts of a university application is the personal statement. A personal statement is where a student articulates why they chose a certain university, why they would like to study a particular course or subject and how their skills, work experience (if applicable) and education makes them suitable for the programme. University admissions consultants can carefully compose personal statements by taking into account your educational background, motivation for studying a chosen subject and existing relevant skills.
Scholarships
Education consultants are aware of the existing and latest updates about upcoming study abroad scholarships helping to make your education more accessible and affordable.
Existing Relationships with Universities
In today’s world, getting into university has become more competitive and university admissions consultants may help you through potential barriers by offering valuable and special insights about entry requirements, the application process and candidate interviews. They also have relationships with university partners so providing specialist knowledge can be very useful to provide students with a competitive edge.
Whether you’re a student who recently arrived in London or you’re looking for something fun and spontaneous to do – London is a vast capital that offers so much to explore! One of the most visited cities on earth, there’s always something to do for everyone in London.
Take a guided tour
You can take a guided tour on a city cruise or bus tour where you’ll be able to discover London’s top landmarks and visit a range of attractions. Some tours will also let you hop on and off so you’re able to explore London at your own pace.
Visit a performing arts show
Musicals and live performances have come to dominate London’s theatre and performing arts scene. From plays and dance to music and drama, London is well renowned for its performing arts and there’s always something exciting on to watch.
Starting the new academic year can be busy but joining a student club or society is one the best things to do during your time at university. With so many sports, subject and academic based societies, there’s something for everyone. There are a host of benefits that student societies offer, making it a great way to get involved, make friends and enhance your CV.
Fitness
If you’re thinking of joining a Sports society you’ll be incorporating an active lifestyle during university. Showing employers you’re in a society that involves being active shows soft skills like time management, which could boost employability and impress employers. It can also demonstrate leadership if you were involved in a role where you demonstrate responsibility (e.g. captain).
If you decide to join a society that relates to your field of study, this can be a great way to show off extra skills. For example, joining a student or university newspaper offered at your university could be something Journalism students could take up. If you’re studying Media, a radio station society could be perfect.
Make New Friends and Connections
Joining an academic or subject-specific society gives you the chance to meet people from outside your course, connect with like-minded people and form new friendships. This can also be great for your personal development and who knows: your newly formed connections could open up chances and other opportunities in the future.
A Break From Studies
Joining a student society gives you time off studies and a chance to have fun. Meeting new people, getting involved in activities you enjoy and the other opportunities a student society is a great way to experience and be active in university life, as such opportunities won’t be available when starting full-time employment.
