United Kingdom
1-year masters · Graduate Route 2 years
The UK hosts four of the world's top 10 universities and offers one-year masters and three-year bachelors - shorter than US programs. The Student Route visa is straightforward when finances and Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) are in order. The Graduate Route gives 2 years (3 for PhD) of post-study work rights.

EU-wide mobility from one base

Dubai
Branch campuses of UK, US and Australian universities
KC counsels and places students in the UAE, where many universities are branch campuses of institutions in the UK, the USA and Australia. We have not yet published tuition, visa and entry detail for the UAE to the depth we hold for our focus destinations, so this page is an introduction and a counselling route rather than a research guide.

Sweden
PhD study with no tuition
KC counsels and places students in Sweden, where PhD study carries no tuition and taught programmes run EUR 9,000-15,000 a year for non-EU students. Sweden has scaled back its post-study work window, so plan the job search deliberately. Fuller country detail lives on our Europe page and with our counsellors.

Singapore
Programmes affiliated with overseas universities
KC counsels and places students in Singapore, where some institutions teach their own globally ranked degrees and others run programmes affiliated with universities in the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia, sometimes with a transfer route to the parent campus. We have not yet published tuition, visa and entry detail to the depth our focus destinations carry.

Malaysia
International campuses at a lower cost

Counselling tailored to your destination
Each country's universities, visa rules, and post-study work landscape are different. Our counsellors are destination-specialists - Australia/NZ has a different team than UK/Ireland than USA/Canada - so the guidance you get matches the country you're actually applying to.
- One-on-one shortlisting based on profile, budget, and career goals
- Country-specific intake calendars and application deadlines
- Honest reads on backup options if first-choice doesn't work out
University shortlisting - built around your profile
1200+ partner institutions across our destinations. We match programs to your academic record, budget, target intake, and post-study work intent - not to a generic 'safe / moderate / ambitious' formula. You get a shortlist that's defensible to your parents and useful for the visa interview.
- Ranking + employability + ROI weighted to your priorities
- Application deadlines tracked so nothing slips
- Direct delegate sessions with partner universities each intake
Visa processing - country-specific, end-to-end
The visa is where most study-abroad plans fail. Each destination has its own pathway - Australia's GS, UK's Student Route + CAS, Canada's SDS + GIC, USA's F-1 + DS-160, Germany's blocked-account, NZ's INZ portal. We've processed every one of these - financial documentation, SOPs, mock interviews, post-grant follow-through.
- Country-specific documentation checklists
- Mock visa interviews for VAC/embassy appointments
- Pre-departure brief once visa lands - banking, housing, SIM, OSHC
Education loan support across lender types
Public banks (SBI Global Ed-Vantage, BoB, Canara, IOB), private NBFCs (Avanse, Credila, Auxilo), and international lenders (Prodigy, MPower) all have different collateral, co-applicant, and disbursement rules. We help you understand which lender fits your destination + program + co-applicant situation.
- Lender shortlist matched to your destination and program
- Documentation prep - income proofs, collateral, co-applicant docs
- Disbursement-timing coordinated with university payment deadlines

Frequently Asked Questions
Three factors usually decide it: budget (USA/UK are higher; Germany/Ireland are often lower with strong post-study options), academic fit (which programs and universities match your profile), and post-study work intent (each country has different work-permit durations after graduation). Your counsellor walks you through all three.
Australia leads with up to 4 years for eligible degrees; Canada offers up to 3 years via the Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP); New Zealand offers up to 3 years open work visa; USA has STEM-OPT extension up to 3 years; UK offers 2 years via the Graduate Route.
Germany's public universities charge little or no tuition for most international students - only nominal semester fees (~EUR 350/semester). This makes Germany one of the most cost-effective destinations in our portfolio. Living costs are EUR 850-1,200/month depending on city.
Yes. Many students apply to two or three destinations as backups. We coordinate timelines, documentation, and visa logistics across all of them so deadlines don't clash. There's no extra fee for multi-destination strategy.
