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!”

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!”
