Accommodation

University halls, purpose-built student accommodation and private rentals differ in cost and in how early they fill. Apply for halls as soon as your offer is confirmed if you want them.

Student life

Cost of living varies more by city than by country. Confirm rent levels for the specific city before finalising a budget.

FAQs

Can I apply without an English test score?

Some providers issue conditional offers that you satisfy later. Others require the score at application. This is programme-specific.

Do you handle the application for me?

We prepare and review the documents and can submit through the provider's channel where that is available to us. The decision always belongs to the provider.

Are scholarships automatic?

Usually not. Many awards need a separate application or an early deadline. Check the funding page for each programme.
