With 50 years’ experience and more than 450,000 successful student placements around the world, Grace knows what it takes to find a good match and set you up for success.
Research
Do your research! Investigate courses, universities and their locations. Look up on the teaching modules, research opportunities, campus life and employment prospects before you narrow down your selection. You can ask your friends and family or reach out to the alumni of universities you are interested in for a wider perspective. Use Facebook or LinkedIn to reach out to them more effectively. Also, do remember to include your budget and available scholarships as a part of your research.
One final word of advice – don’t trust everything you read online. Some reviews from other students might be influenced by a single negative personal experience or choosing a course that wasn’t right for them. It doesn’t always mean you will feel the same way. Grace can ensure you get an accurate and unbiased advice. Use the course search on this website to start your search.
Speak with one of our Grace counsellors
When you’re ready, make an appointment with an Grace counsellor. Our counsellors are professionally certified and many have been international students themselves. They’re a friendly face and wealth of first-hand professional and personal experience from different study locations all over the world.
Bring your wish list and course preferences along with you to your appointment as a starting point. Your counsellor will work through all the big and small details to ensure the best possible fit between you, your future university and your area of study. Get in touch now to set up an appointment.
Make your application
After you’ve chosen your course and university or school, it’s time to apply. Your Grace counsellor will support your university and course applications. We take our job very seriously and follow the strictest legal and ethical standards. Your counsellor will personally contact your chosen university or school to ensure they convey the full picture to help improve your chances of acceptance.
If you need to take an English test to qualify for your course, practice hard to get good grades. In a test such as IELTS, it is important to be grammatically sound besides having a wide range of vocabulary. Know all about IELTS.
Offer acceptance
Once your application is received, the university or school will assess it thoroughly and notify you of the result. It can take up to a few weeks (or longer for postgraduate applications) for your application to be processed.
If your application is successfully selected, you’ll receive a letter of offer and an acceptance form. Before you accept the offer, go through it carefully with your counsellor to check for any conditions that may apply.
If you are accepted for more than one course or school, your counsellor will help you decide on the best option for you.
Student visa
After accepting the letter of offer the most important task is to apply for your student visa. Since each country has its own set of formalities to fulfill, your Grace counsellor will guide you through the visa application process and help prepare the documents needed for your submission.
