During your free 40-minute consultation, we will:

• Understand your academic background, goals, and preferred study route.
• Discuss your interests, strengths, and career ambitions.
• Explain how the UK admissions system works in simple terms.
• Identify whether you currently meet entry requirements — or what steps are needed.

Why this step matters

A strong start ensures we build a clear and realistic plan for you, tailored to your goals. You’ll finish this session knowing:
Which study routes are suitable (Foundation, Undergraduate, Postgraduate).
What documents you will need.
What the next steps look like and how IPS UK will support you.

We help you:

• Compare suitable universities based on ranking, location, entry requirements, and fees.

• Match your academic history with the right level (Foundation, Year 1, Top-Up, Master’s).
• Explore scholarships and affordability options.
• Identify which universities best fit your long-term career plans.

Why this step matters

Choosing the wrong university can lead to visa refusal, difficulty meeting entry conditions, or poor academic experience.
We guide you to safe, achievable, and high-quality choices.

We help you prepare:

• Your personal statement or statement of purpose (SOP).
• Academic documents (transcripts, certificates).
• Passport, ID, and sponsorship letters.
• CV (if required for postgraduate study).
• Work experience evidence (if relevant).
• We also make sure your documents meet UKVI and university authenticity standards.

Why this step matters

Clear, organised documents help universities process your application faster and with fewer queries.
We ensure everything you submit is correct, complete, and professionally presented.

If you require English language testing, we support you through the whole process:

• Guidance on which test is best for your profile (IELTS, PTE, TOEFL).
• Help understanding minimum score requirements for your chosen universities.
• Support with test booking and preparation advice.
• Access to preparation classes (where available).

Why this step matters

Strong English scores increase your chances of receiving an unconditional offer, CAS approval, and visa success.
We ensure you are fully prepared and confident before sitting the exam.

IPS UK Study will handle the complete submission process on your behalf:
