Admission to A-level at CATS Cambridge

“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.”

Admission to the University of Westminster through the IYO Program

“The Academic Advisor helped me gain admission to the University of Westminster. It was an incredible experience – everyone on the team was incredibly communicative, attentive to my preferences, and offered the most comfortable and ideal options based on my needs. Working with them was a pleasure; all that was required from me were my details, documents, and preferences – they took care of everything else. The best part was receiving a comprehensive final letter, where all the essential information and a step-by-step guide for next steps were included. I am incredibly grateful! Talking with other Ukrainian students who applied through other agencies, I felt deeply thankful for choosing The Academic Advisor. Many of them had no idea about the scores they’d need upon completing Kaplan or what steps to take after arrival. Thank you so much!”
