What
our students say

StudyIn has been a crucial part of my UK journey. They assisted me in obtaining my bachelor’s degree in August 2019 and now, they’ve aided me in securing admission to a top design university in London for my master’s. The counselors at StudyIn offer personalised support to each applicant, helping us in each and every step including the final stage of obtaining our CAS letter once we receive the offer.

Nidhi Agarwal

In September, I sought assistance from StudyIn for my studies in the UK, with a planned intake for January 2023. With the support of my counsellor who made exceptional efforts, I smoothly navigated the application process which culminated in the timely acquisition of my UK student visa hassle-free. I wholeheartedly endorse StudyIn to fellow students aiming to pursue their dreams of studying in the UK. Thank you!

I used StudyIn and had a wonderful experience, especially the ability to speak with upper-year students in veterinary medicine. The first year was amazing, I have totally settled into Glasgow, had the best experience and made amazing friends. The course is exactly what I wanted, and I can’t thank the StudyIn team enough.

Jamie. W

Currently a second-year Birmingham Medical student, I found out about StudyIn through friends and family and was amazed at their high quality of service. Their responses were immediate, and the team was very welcoming. No matter how repetitive and redundant an inquiry seemed, the team made sure that I received a sufficient answer. I’m extremely pleased with my experience with StudyIn.

I could not have done it without the help of Anna Holt. Throughout the application process, Anna was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had, she made the process extremely easy and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful for her dedication and expertise. I highly recommend her to anyone navigating the university admissions process! Thanks to Anna, I have been accepted to a master’s programme at Leeds Beckett.

Emily C
Leeds Beckett University, MSc Occupational Therapy

About a year and a half before I went abroad, I received individual consulting, where I was given the overall schedule. After that, I attended seminars on how to write a statement of purpose, resume, and letter of recommendation, and created the documents, then used a correction service to finalize my documents. With the help of the consultant, I applied to universities, and received acceptance letters from all five schools I applied to.

StudyIn provided a fast and efficient service that I could trust. During the process, I realized that the study abroad consultants are professionals in the field of study abroad, with close ties to universities in the UK and Ireland. It was reassuring. Thanks to their advice and support in preparing my application, I was able to get accepted by the top universities of my choice!

Everything was explained well to me by Vidushi. There was a 100% transparency in everything and Vidushi was highly responsive throughout the process making it smooth and hassle free for me.

Last year, I reached out to StudyIn, Jaipur for my Master’s journey, and it has been an incredibly fulfilling and successful experience. From guiding me through the application process to assisting with letters of recommendation and statement of purpose, and even following up with universities, StudyIn provided comprehensive support at every step of the journey. They went the extra mile, assisting with admissions, fee processing, accommodation arrangements, visa guidance, and coordination on medical checkups. I firmly believe that my admission to the University of Birmingham wouldn’t have been possible without StudyIn. I highly recommend StudyIn to anyone seeking admission to a UK or Ireland university.

The entire team at StudyIn was incredibly supportive. They provided me with a list of universities to consider, and I ultimately chose Aston University. With their assistance, I applied and received an offer along with a £5000, scholarship.
