Why Apply through StudyLink?
Applying to study overseas includes a lot of paperwork and can be confusing. Countries have different education systems, study application procedures, and complex student visa regulations. We’re familiar with the different institutions and locations and we enjoy helping you to find the right match for your academic and personal interests. Whether this will be your first time overseas and living away from your family or you are an experienced traveller and mature aged applicant, StudyLink’s unbiased, free services can help make the process easier for you. StudyLink counsellors guide you through the process and are dedicated to helping you with all of your questions and with putting together a strong application for your study plans. StudyLink specialises in Australian, North American, and UK study options. Our official online applications to many courses offer you a convenient way to save and edit applications at any time, from anywhere.
Our counselling staff have visited many of the locations and some of the institutions that you may be considering. We keep up-to-date on student visa regulations which change regularly. We also attend conferences regularly to get the latest information to provide top quality service to you. See the counsellor bios for more information on two of our counselling staff.
