Can I apply to study in the UK before I finish my current studies?
Yes, if you are nearing the end of your studies in your home country but do not yet have your final grades you can still begin your UK university application. However, your acceptance onto a degree course may be conditional. This means that you will have to achieve a certain level of grades on your current course before you get a letter of acceptance onto your chosen course and can apply for a study visa.

Do I need to take a foundation course or pre-master's course?
You may need undertake a pre-entry course to 'bridge the gap' between your current qualifications and the required university entry qualifications. These courses are known as 'pathway courses', generally foundation courses (for entry to undergraduate degrees) and pre-master's (for entry to postgraduate taught courses). Some students also take pre-sessional English courses as a requirement for degree entry. We can help you find and secure a place on the most appropriate pathway course for your chosen university and subject. Find out more about whether you need to take a foundation course.
Can you help me get a visa?
Our OISC-registered visa agents provide a range of services focused on tier 4 student visas as well as work and entrepreneur visas for graduates. We can provide consultation and advice services as well as application checking services.
Can I use your services if I am not an international student?
Yes, although our services are focused on meeting the needs of international students, many of them can also prove valuable to UK students. Our university matching services and UCAS application services, in particular, are a useful resource for home-schooled students or those who have been out of education for over a year.
Can you provide a guaranteed place at a UK university?
Universities accept students on merit but, by working with us to select the most suitable universities and prepare a strong application, you are giving yourself the best chance to secure a place in a suitable university.

Can you help me find a place at non-UK university?
We are experts in UK universities and do not currently provide advice or support to students looking to study in other countries.
