KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE START

Two routes to your university.

WITH AN OFFER GUARANTEE

A partner university

We find a suitable programme and support your application through to an offer. The guarantee applies when all conditions are met:

  • Your background meets the programme’s academic and language requirements, including IELTS where required.
  • Your documents are complete and accurate, and all required steps and deadlines are met.

INDIVIDUAL APPLICATION SUPPORT

A university outside our partner network

Have another university in mind? We help with your strategy, documents and application. This is a separate service without an offer guarantee; the decision rests with the university.

Discuss my chosen university ↗

The guarantee covers an offer to study at your chosen partner university. It does not include a visa or scholarship. We confirm programme requirements and availability before the application process starts.

REAL EXPERIENCE BEHIND STUDY MATES

Hey, I’m Ali.
I’ve been through it myself.

I applied to international master’s programmes and won scholarships myself. I then spent more than five years at an education consultancy, where around 400–500 students a year went through me and my department.

I now bring that experience to Study Mates. I personally build our partnerships and speak with university recruiters, so you have a clear next step for your application.

YOUR STORY STARTS HERE

Thinking of studying abroad?
Let’s talk.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. Tell us what you know and what you’re wondering about. We’ll find a starting point together.

Your family is welcome to join the conversation.
We’ll help them understand the costs, timeline and process, too.

WhatsApp will open with a draft message. Review it and send it when you’re ready. This form does not store your details.
ASK US ANYTHING

Big questions.
Clear answers.

Can I apply with qualifications from my country?

Your options depend on your qualifications, previous education and the university’s requirements. Some programmes accept direct applications; others require a foundation or preparation course. We’ll check the requirements for your background. Application and visa requirements may also depend on your citizenship and country of residence.

Are scholarships or tuition discounts available?

Some institutions offer scholarships or tuition discounts. Availability depends on the programme, grades, language level and intake. We’ll check the options; funding decisions are made by the institution.

How much do tuition and your services cost?

Tuition varies by university and programme. Accommodation and other essential expenses are additional. We agree on the scope and fees for Study Mates services separately, after discussing your needs.

Do I need IELTS?

Each programme sets its own language requirements. IELTS, other accepted tests or a preparation course may be options. We’ll check the official requirements for your chosen programme.

What if I haven’t chosen a country yet?

That’s a good place to start. We’ll compare your subject interests, budget, language preferences and living costs, then shortlist destinations and programmes.

What exactly do you guarantee?

For an agreed programme at a partner university, we guarantee an offer to study when you meet all entry requirements, provide complete and accurate documents, and complete every required step on time. We check those conditions first. Applications to other universities are a separate service without a guaranteed outcome. The offer guarantee does not cover visas or scholarships.

Talk to your mate WhatsApp ↗

For a partner programme, we first check eligibility and the conditions of the offer guarantee: academic and language requirements, documents and deadlines. The guarantee does not cover a visa or scholarship.
