What countries can I study in?

Students can study abroad in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, and Ireland. We provide expert support with university admissions, scholarships, student visas, application preparation, and course selection to help students choose the best country and university for their academic and career goals.

Is your counseling service free?

Yes. Studies Abroads does not charge students for counselling. You only pay third-party costs - such as university application, English test and visa fees - directly to the organisations concerned. See our Fees page for the full list.

What documents do I need for a student visa?

Generally you need your passport, university acceptance letter, financial proof, academic transcripts, language test scores (IELTS or TOEFL), and visa application forms. Requirements vary by country.

How long does the admission process take?

The process typically takes 3 to 6 months from application to visa. We recommend starting at least 6 months before your intended intake.

Can I work while studying abroad?

Yes, in most countries, within limits set by each government. For example: USA - generally up to 20 hours a week on campus during term; UK - usually up to 20 hours a week during term for degree-level students; Canada - up to 24 hours a week off campus during academic sessions; Australia - up to 48 hours per fortnight while your course is in session. Rules change, so always check your visa conditions and the official government website.

How do you help with the visa?

We help you check your documents against the official requirements for your country and practise for the visa interview. Visa decisions are made only by the immigration authorities, so no consultant can guarantee a visa.

When should I start preparing for a Fall intake in the USA?

Students should ideally start preparing 10–15 months before the intake. Early planning gives you more time for university research, document preparation, and application submissions.

What documents are required for USA university admission?

Most universities require academic transcripts, a Statement of Purpose (SOP), Letters of Recommendation (LORs), a resume, and a valid passport. Additional requirements may vary by university and program.
