During the initial counselling session, our experienced counsellors will discuss with you your passion and areas of interest for pursuing a higher degree. At the same time, we will help you identify the benefits that each country has to offer, based on your short term and long term plans. This will help us suggest universities and courses that will give you the most value as a student and a professional.

AdmissionAbroad has an affiliation with over 700+ universities and higher educational institutes globally. If we are able to place you in any of the institutes we are affiliated with, there is no charge whatsoever. The services are free from the time of initial counselling till the time we have got your Visa approved and ready to send you on your way.   Over 95% of students who have gone through AdmissionAbroad have gone to their preferred destination without having to pay us for the services rendered. Exceptional circumstances do however require you to pay an administrative charge as indicated in the Fees and Charges Section <Link to Fees and Charges Page>

After having received the list of course options, we will help you identify and prioritise at least 3 universities into which we will submit your application. Supplementary applications can be made should the response from the first three universities be undesirable.

When we provide you with the list of course options, we also provide details on the eligibility requirements, and any necessary standardised exams that you would need to appear for in order to be eligible for a chosen course.

Depending on your preference of destination you may need to appear for certain standardised tests such and SAT, ACT, GRE and GMAT. Most institutes also require a mandatory English proficiency test such as the IELTS and TOEFL.

International universities do not offer a job placement, however, they often have an International Student’s Support cell that guides students on ways of landing a job suitable to their skills and knowledge. Our counsellors can also provide you with relevant information on the same.

Working part time while studying abroad is a normal practice in the life of an international student. It can teach you values on time management and networking. As a full time international student, you are generally allowed to work for a maximum of 20 hours per week. However, do check with the relevant authorities as some countries may follow a different guideline of part-time work for international students.

There are many Ph.D. programs that are sponsored by various government agencies and councils. In order for you to get a full sponsorship, there are various parameters that you will have to fulfil. Moreover if your doctoral proposal is accepted by such councils we can apply for their sponsorship programs wherein you stand a chance to not only get a full fee waiver but also entitlement to a monthly stipend. A vast number of governments and foundations do invest a lot of money towards higher educational research. We can help you identify scholarships that best suit you.

On receipt of an offer letter from a university, an AdmissionAbroad counsellor will guide you on how you can proceed on getting your financials in order, be it self sponsored, family sponsored, or through an educational loan.

To ensure that you meet the financial requirements set out in Visa guidelines, you would need to provide proof of funds that cover your first year tuition fees and sufficient funds towards your living expenditure as set by the visa authorities of the respective countries. Please feel free to discuss the matter with our counsellors as these guidelines do change from time to time and our counsellors are well aware of such changes.

You will only pay your tuition fee when you have met all the conditions set out in your offer letter and your admission has been verified by the university authorities. Please note that there might be a nominal application/prospectus fee that you might be required to pay in some Universities/Colleges in order to apply.

Most universities and colleges will allow you to make payments in at least 2 installments for a yearly tuition fee depending on your financial status and circumstance. The University/College might consider some flexible payment terms upon prior discussion and agreement. Certain universities do offer a discount upon full payment of your fees, before a stipulated time period set by the institute. Details of such waivers, if available, will be highlighted in your offer letter.

All countries require you to have a health insurance policy taken out before you travel for your further study. You may also be asked to have a life insurance policy.

You can pay for your accommodation directly to the institute depending on the choice of accommodation. The fees will be paid upon confirmation of admission and after having selected and booked the accommodation type.

No, it is not mandatory. Most universities will allow you to choose wherever you want to stay.

Some, but not all institutes will allow you stay in your hostel room even after the end term examination. However, it is wise to check with the institute if this option is provided.

An important part of university life abroad is to find time to do things for yourself. This includes cooking. You will be provided a kitchen space, regardless of whether you choose a single person rental or a shared accommodation type.
