3. Do I need to do a foundation/pre-university year or can I go direct to the first year?
This will depend on your grades. However, in most cases, you should be able to enter the first year if you have high grades and have studied for at least 12 years. It will also depend on your chosen country and institution so please discuss this with your study adviser.
4. How long will my visa last for?
Your visa will generally be valid for the duration of your course. However, this will depend on the type of visa you applied for. It may be possible to move to a post-study visa, depending on your course and which country you study in. Please speak to your study adviser for more details.

It will depend on the country and the type of visa you have applied for. There are also fast track visa application services for most countries. Speak to your study adviser to find out more.
6. Can you help with scholarships?
Most universities offer partial scholarships. However, these are normally academically based and take the form of a fee reduction once you’ve been accepted. You will still need to show proof that you can pay the fees before you will be accepted. Browse our list of recently announced partial scholarships to see if you might qualify.
