Questions from students
How do I apply to your university/course/programme?
Please note that we are not an institution or course provider; the i-studentadvisor websites provides free resources and information about international study. We therefore do not have any courses or programmes to which you can apply. To find institutions that offer your course of interest, please browse this website, visit our free matching service, i-studentenquiry, or see our range of online brochures for institutions at i-studentbrochure.
I want to study overseas/How do I study overseas?
i-studentadvisor offers free resources to help you research studying overseas, which are contained on this website. Unfortunately we cannot advise individuals on their specific cases nor offer tailored information and advice, but we do have a wide array of general information and where possible we will include links to websites that will help you find out further information. The i-studentadvisor website is part of i-studentgroup, which has a range of other free online resources that may help you with your research further, including: a free online matching service - i-studentenquiry; a global student community and blogging site - i-studentlife; and a range of interactive brochures from institutions around the world - i-studentbrochure.
Can you give me a scholarship/can you help pay my fees?
Unfortunately we do not offer scholarships or any form of financial aid. To find more information about scholarships and financial aid in the country you are hoping to study in, please visit the relevant Fees and Costs page by clicking on the links below:
Australia
Canada
Ireland
New Zealand
UK
USA
You may also be able to find institutions that can offer you a full or part scholarship through our free online matching service, i-studentenquiry.
Can you recommend a good/cheap university or course/programme?
Unfortunately we cannot recommend specific institutions or courses. You should choose your institution and course carefully according to what will be the best ‘fit’ for you. Browsing articles and study guides on i-studentadvisor may help you decide what courses or areas of the world interest you. You can also visit our sister site, i-studentenquiry, where you can fill in a form about your study preferences and we will match you to institutions that fulfil your requirements. We also have a range of online brochures for institutions around the world on i-studentbrochure.
How do I get a visa?
We are not an immigration or visa agency and therefore we cannot help individuals obtain visas or advise on specific cases. We do, however, provide general information about obtaining student visas. Please visit our visa pages for the country in which you wish to study for an overview of how to apply for a visa, and useful links to the relevant immigration/visa websites that can help you further:
Which course should I take/which course is best?
Unfortunately we cannot recommend or endorse specific courses. You should choose your course carefully according to what will be the best ‘fit’ for you - everyone’s idea of the ‘best’ course will be different, depending on what is important to them. Browsing articles and reading our subject guides on i-studentadvisor may help you decide what courses or course areas are of most interest to you. You can then do some research to find institutions that offer your course, or use our free matching service, i-studentenquiry, where you can fill in a form about your study preferences and we will match you to institutions that fulfil your requirements.
What should I study to do...?
Please note that we cannot offer careers or study advice on an individual basis, and therefore we do not recommend specific pathways of study or career choices. If you are looking for information about specific study or career areas, please see our subject guides, which contain articles by professional and educational associations that may be of interest to you. You could also speak to your counsellor/advisor at your school.
