How we support international students 

At Study Group, we are educators – partnering with over 50 universities worldwide to deliver high quality pathway and degree preparation programmes. We help students develop the academic and English language skills they need to succeed at university. As your partner in global education, we’re here to guide and support you through every stage of your journey. We don’t just connect students with universities – we prepare them to thrive when there and beyond.

We connect

We help students connect with the right study options – where and what to study and how to get there.  We also work closely with education agents and partners to offer personalised advice and clear pathways to top universities worldwide.

We educate

We deliver high-quality academic and English language preparation programmes that help students progress to top universities. Our experienced teachers and staff are passionate about education and support students at every stage - from their first steps to studying abroad and ultimately university and career success. Together with our university partners, we open the door to brighter futures through the power of education.

We care

From the moment students apply, we are here to support. We help with visa applications, finding a place to live and getting settled.  On campus, our dedicated teams provide personalised support on wellbeing, academic help and cultural integration – so students feel safe, confident and ready to thrive.

We prepare

Our programmes teach the academic and English skills, and build the confidence needed for university. We also help students build career skills that employers look for. Students will learn how to think critically, work in teams and communicate clearly - all important for future jobs, all over the world.

“I think a strength of the partnership is definitely the longevity because we've been in business together for so long—15 years. It allows a certain level of trust that you don't necessarily get with shorter partnerships. Trust in the partnership has been built over many years by working openly and honestly and collaboratively.”
