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.

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 program at Leeds Beckett.

Leeds Beckett University, MSc Occupational TherapyAbout 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.
