Full Support from The Academic Advisor:
Our task was to help the student gain admission to a top UK university for a program in Forensic Science and Security. The first step of our comprehensive support program was a detailed selection of programs (using the “Perfect Match” brochure with 10 potential universities), where the student had the highest chances of being accepted. We submitted applications to five universities with University College London as the priority, using the UCAS platform. The student applied directly without a Foundation year, thanks to a high school diploma from Canada. We began working on the application in September and submitted the documents by the end of December, with the admission received in early March.
