Admission to the Pre-Master’s Program at Queen’s University Belfast

“I reached out to Veronika and Yuliia on my sister’s recommendation – she had already successfully been admitted to the University of Bath. First, I had a call with Veronika, during which we discussed all the details, and I realized that with my completed bachelor’s degree, direct entry to a master’s program wasn’t possible. Veronika immediately suggested applying via a Pre-Master’s program, and I agreed without hesitation. From that point, Veronika and Yuliia took care of everything, from selecting suitable programs to providing invaluable advice. Ultimately, I chose the Pre-Master’s at Queen’s University Belfast, tailored to my specific needs. I’m writing this review now from my first orientation session at the university. I want to thank Veronika and Yuliia for their help with my admission – I honestly don’t think I could have done it on my own. To sum up, their work was professional and genuinely attentive to my interests. Thank you again!”

“I would like to thank Yuliia, who guided our application and was our main advisor. Everything was handled very professionally, with a clear understanding of the specificities of applying to UK architecture schools and the professional path of an architect in the UK. This thorough approach not only helped us choose the best school for our child for the A-level program but also made us confident that we chose the right country and direction. All the documents were prepared quickly and clearly.”
