University Advice
Now more than ever, students can be overwhelmed by the wide range of career opportunities facing them. Even with courses of the same name at different institutions, the content that is covered ranges substantially. It is of little surprise then, that selecting a university can be more than a daunting prospect for any prospective student.
This is where Students Avenue can be of help. We specialise in the global university system, with a breadth of knowledge across both QS and Shanghai ranked universities. We offer a tailored service, where we match students with universities and courses both in the UK and internationally. We work closely with our clients to ensure we find the right match in terms of course content as well as institution.
With hundreds of universities, and thousands of courses available, we believe that we offer an unmatched service to help a student navigate through the process.
Securing Admission
The first step to gaining admission to your preferred university is to submit your application in due course. At Students Avenue, we understand that this can be both a stressful and overwhelming experience, and therefore we ensure:
- Each student receives personalised assistance on an end-to-end basis.
- We guarantee that the admission process is as stress – free as possible.
- We oversee the production of the personal statement to ensure that it best represents the client and their strengths, tailored to their chosen institution/(s).
- We guarantee that the application will be error-free, and we will go through every step of the application ensuring that you have the correct documentation to get you on a course of your choice.
- We ensure that due process is followed. For example, in the case of an application for a UK Undergraduate course, your application would normally be submitted though UCAS. For UK Postgraduate courses (Masters), your application would normally be submitted directly to the University you have selected via direct application.
- We answer any queries or concerns of our client throughout the process, to ensure peace of mind.
- We continually track and keep you updated about your application status.
Visa Assistance
Studying abroad is a wonderful way to gain a global perspective, and create new pathways of life. Furthermore, it can pave the way for improved job opportunities and higher salaries. However, it is well-known that each country has different rules and requirements for granting visas for students. With each country can come different processes and procedures, which can be both confusing and time-consuming. Often, the visa application process for international study can be more time-consuming than the actual university application.
At Students Avenue, we have a team of specialists who can guide you through the Visa application process, as well as ensure that you are kept abreast of the latest changes or amendments to obtaining a visa. We are dedicated to offering a service that makes applying to study internationally as straightforward as applying domestically.
We do not only assist the filling of your visa application, but also preparing students for official interviews in the embassy of your destination country. Moreover, we will guide you with the procedures of taking bank loans, and will consult you regarding collection of other financial documents and sponsorship letters. We are constantly updating ourselves with any procedures and guarantee you maximum success in obtaining visas.
We offer the following visa assistance services:
- Insider knowledge of the visa application process
- Latest information regarding visa requirements
- Preparing students for visa interview
- Presentations concerning the overall visa process
Individual guidance and counselling of required paperwork and documentation
Pre-Departure and Post Arrival Services
For many students, embarking on international studies can be both an exciting but challenging event. Students with diverse backgrounds are going to meet with new cultures, study environments and many other aspects. With time, students become accustomed to the country of their studies, and they gradually start to settle into their new life.
However, it is imperative to be prepared before you depart. Students Avenue will help you carefully plan each step of the move, and provide you with all of the important information to enable you to kick-start life in a new city, including a list of duties to fulfill.
Additionally, we organize an event called a Pre-Departure session where our experienced team members and alumni will give you an insight into various aspects of a student’s life abroad. These sessions give you the opportunity to meet many other students who are enrolled at the same university as you. We believe that this will be a great support to our students, and help eliminate some of the anxiety that is only natural in such a situation. Most universities also conduct induction weeks, where new students get introduced to the different courses, the campus, and the living area around the university. With Students Avenue, our clients receive an advantage through our existing network of alumni and expertise in this space.
Once settled, students are encouraged to keep in contact with us where we can assist in any required circumstances.
