FOR EDUCATION AGENTS
The UK education system has a worldwide reputation for its high standards. In general, the British higher education system has five stages of education: early years, Primary years, Secondary Education, Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE).
Almost all undergraduate institutions in the UK education system (other than Arden University, BPP University College, University of Buckingham and Regent's University London, all of which are private institutions) are state-financed with some top-up fees to cover costs. Most notably in the British school system, The Russell Group is a network of 24 British public research universities, containing some of the most prestigious universities in the country (including the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and London School of Economics). Both UK and international students aspire to attend a Russell Group University due to the known quality of education.
Even though the syllabi are set by universities, the Office for Fair Access (OfFA) in the British school system, has a lot of say on the admission procedures of each university. This office was created so that everyone who wishes to attend university in UK has the ability to do so. They also promote fair access to higher education, even for those who are attending university as international students. Fair access also includes those of different cultures, different races, different nationalities, and those who have disabilities.
If you are an education agent and has a successful track record, we can help you process the applications and earn a commission share that we receive from our contracted Universities
FOR INSTITUTIONS
Studying abroad is a massive investment for students and their families. They look for advice and guidance from friends, family and teachers, but also seek expert help from professional education advisers and counsellors. Agents can guide students through the application process and into the institution that will best suit their specific needs. The demand for agent services is student-led, and agents will typically offer the following services:
- education counselling
- arranging language tests
- preparing applications to institutions
- pre-departure briefings
- visa and immigration advice
- help with flights and accommodation.
Effective agents look after the interests of both the students and the universities. They shine a positive light on UK culture and enable the recruitment of suitable applicants. Agents also help universities promote their brand and ethos, and provide access to students in countries that are otherwise difficult to recruit from.
This may be a student’s first time away from home, and parents understandably have concerns. Agents can reassure them about student support mechanisms, and provide advice on life in the UK, accommodation, and accurate course and application information, so that students are well prepared for when they take up their studies. A student’s relationship with the agent does not end after they arrive in the UK. Students will contact the agent if they want to switch course or have complaints.
Over 92 per cent of UK institutions work with agents. A report from OBHE (Observatory on Borderless Education) into student choices highlights that students have increasingly chosen to work with agents to help them find the right course. These numbers increased from ten per cent in 2007 to 28 per cent in 2013. The report also shows that in some countries the use of agents is very high: China 45 per cent, India 43 per cent and Nigeria 30 per cent. Overall this represents 30 per cent of all international non-EU students enrolled on UK higher education courses. For most universities, this is the most cost-effective way of recruiting.
We help UK institutions by providing them with eligible students through our partner education agents from across the globe.
