Frequently Asked Questions.

1. Which countries do you help students apply to?

We assist students in applying to top study destinations including the United Kingdom (UK), United States (USA), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia. Each country offers unique academic opportunities, visa options, and work rights. Our expert counsellors help you choose the destination that best fits your goals and academic profile.

2. What are the basic admission requirements to study abroad?

Admission requirements vary by country and program, but generally include:

  • Academic transcripts (Matric/Intermediate/Bachelor's)
  • Proof of English proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, Duolingo, etc.)
  • Valid passport
  • Statement of Purpose (SOP) or motivation letter

We review your documents and guide you step by step through the application process for your chosen country.

3. Is IELTS mandatory for all countries?

Not always. While IELTS is commonly required by universities in the UK, Australia, and Canada, some institutions accept alternatives like Duolingo, PTE, TOEFL, or MOI (Medium of Instruction) letters. In some cases, students may even apply for language waivers. We help you apply to universities and colleges based on your current test status.

4. How long does the study visa process take?

Visa processing times vary depending on the country. For example, UK and Malaysia visas can be processed in 2–4 weeks, while USA, Canada, and Australia may take 4–8 weeks or more. We ensure your application is submitted early and accurately to avoid delays.

5. Can I work while studying abroad?

Yes, in most countries students are allowed to work part-time. For example:

  • UK & Australia: Up to 20 hours/week during term
  • USA: Limited on-campus work during the first year
  • Canada: 20 hours/week off-campus

Working part-time helps you cover living costs and gain local experience.

6. What are the tuition fees and living expenses abroad?

Tuition fees range from $8,000 to $30,000 per year depending on country, level of study, and institution. Living expenses vary too — lower in Malaysia or New Zealand, higher in UK or Canada. We help you select affordable options and apply for scholarships where available.

7. Do you help with scholarships and fee waivers?

Absolutely. We assist students in identifying and applying for merit-based scholarships, need-based grants, and tuition discounts offered by international universities. Some institutions offer automatic entry scholarships for high-achieving students. We also guide you in writing strong SOPs and scholarship applications.

8. What is the best time to apply for international universities?

It’s best to apply 6–9 months in advance of your target intake. Major intakes are:

September/Fall (most popular)

January/Winter (alternative for many programs)

May/Spring (limited availability)
Applying early improves your chances for admission, scholarships, and visa approval.

9. Can I get permanent residency after studying abroad?

Yes, in countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, international graduates may become eligible for Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP) or Skilled Immigration Programs. These allow you to gain work experience and eventually apply for Permanent Residency (PR) based on points systems or regional nomination schemes.

10. How does Study Overseas Education help students?
