Full Review:

“One year ago, we had an incredible consultation that marked the beginning of an exciting journey into the world of UK education! At that time, our family had a strong desire to provide our daughter with a good, high-quality education, but we had absolutely no idea where to start, how to choose the right field of study, what to look for when selecting a university, how to prepare a properly formatted application package, and a million other questions. We are so happy that we were guided and helped by true professionals – the wonderful Veronika and Yuliia! For every question we had, there was always a clear answer, an action plan, and support at every stage of the application process. Everything went smoothly, without stress, and with the confidence that everything was being done correctly. And now, as our daughter has started her studies and is very happy with her choice, we know that any questions we have will always be met with detailed answers! Veronika and Yuliia, we are so grateful for your help, care, and support in such a challenging process! You are amazing! We are so glad to be going through this journey with you ❤️ We wish you and your company all the best! Prosperity and growth!”

Admission to the International Year One Program, with a transition to the 2nd year of the Bachelor’s in Business Management & Marketing at Nottingham Trent University

Scholarship Awarded: £1,500

Why our team suggested this option:

One of the best UK universities according to student reviews: Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is one of our team’s favourite universities in England. It consistently receives excellent reviews from students across a range of criteria. NTU regularly ranks in the Top 25 UK universities based on student feedback in official rankings.
International Year One program: The IYO program is one of the best options for students who want to start their studies with a more intensive academic plan from the first year, combining preparatory studies with the first year of a bachelor’s degree. NTU is one of the universities offering this program.
Strong business school: The business faculty at Nottingham Trent University is ranked in the Top 100 in Europe and is in the Top 20 UK universities for marketing studies.
Internship opportunities within the course: One of the key advantages of NTU is the opportunity for professional practice during the course of study. NTU offers this between the 2nd and 3rd years, with students required to complete a minimum of 48 weeks of internship.
Top-tier accreditations: The Nottingham Business School holds triple accreditation from EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA— the highest international education standards for business schools. Furthermore, the course chosen by our student is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and offers students exemptions from the core module needed to earn a CIM Level 4 certificate in Professional Digital Marketing.
Flexible study program: The undergraduate program allows students to choose several subjects of study themselves. This makes the program more personalised, allowing students to focus on areas that interest them the most.

Full Support from The Academic Advisor:

During our initial consultation, we decided that the best path for our student would be through the International Year One (IYO) program. The next task was to find universities offering this program in business-related fields, with a focus on universities that provide excellent value for money, quality, and opportunities. A strong emphasis was placed on choosing a university with a strong career department to increase future employment opportunities in the UK. NTU turned out to be the perfect fit for Darina in all respects. We began working together in December 2022, giving us about 9 months to prepare and complete all stages of the application process. By November 2023, Darina began her studies on the IYO program in Nottingham!

Admission to Loughborough University

“Veronika and Yuliia are true professionals when it comes to selecting an educational institution that meets all of a student’s preferences! Thank you, The Academic Advisor, for the quick turnaround on my admission process. Unfortunately, I started working with you quite late, so we had limited time to choose a university. Nevertheless, I received thorough consultations and step-by-step guidance on what, how, and where to complete each step, which made the process significantly easier and faster. Veronika and Yuliia were always available to assist with any questions that arose along the way. I genuinely recommend your company to anyone seeking assistance with applying to universities abroad!”

International Year One at Nottingham Trent University - Academic Advisor

The No. 1 university for Architecture in the UK

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!”
