Get into your Top Choice Universities

As Americans, applying to universities in the United Kingdom was a bit complicated. After some initial research, we knew we needed additional help to get through the application stage!

Expat Student was the best investment we could make for our student. Their process is rigorous and thoughtful. They take the time to understand your student, their interests and the university experience they want. During the application phase, they really guided my student and supported them throughout the process. Expat Student knows the application process inside out. Americans tend to expect a level of customer service that isn’t really present in the UK. Having someone who knows the process and where to get answers is invaluable.

My student received 5 offers from 5 schools. Expat continued to be an excellent source of information and support to help us manage accommodation, enrollment and other questions. British universities have limited customer service and, believe me, having Expat Student as a resource saves us a lot of stress!

Louise was absolutely amazing. We had arrived in Europe from the United States the previous year and had no idea which universities were accessible to our child, which degree or university would suit them best, and how to apply. It’s so different in Europe. She met with them frequently to discuss all the options and kept them focused on preparing all the elements of the application file. I really can’t imagine how we would have managed this without her. They got a place at their first choice; it was the best investment we could make.

Expat Student has been supporting me from the very beginning, first for my undergraduate applications, and now for my master’s degree. I am extremely grateful to them for their support over the years. A special thank you to Louise and Tania for their invaluable help, responsiveness and advice at every stage.

Throughout my third year of undergraduate studies in biosciences, I have benefited and continue to benefit from Louise’s help with my application and admission to a master’s program. I was accepted into this program, and it’s thanks to her! Her support, both in aiming for excellence in my application and in looking after my well-being throughout the process, is exceptional. I am extremely grateful to her for her patience, kindness and expertise in the field, which enables successful applications. My experience has taught me that Louise knows exactly how to write an original and personalized application for a specific program. By pushing me to analyze the reasons for my application, my passion for the field and my career goals, we were able to write a cover letter demonstrating that I was a perfect fit for the programs at the universities I applied to. This allowed me to apply to the right program, at a university where I feel ready to thrive, which is particularly important for a master’s degree, where you choose an increasingly specialized program, with professors whose research you read. Tania also helped me write my CV and publish my publications on LinkedIn, which I really appreciated! I also received help filling out my applications and obtaining my visa, and I now have a better understanding of what is expected of master’s applicants!

Louise and Tania were a real lifesaver for us as expats. My son’s international school had no career guidance pathway and had no idea about the application process for UK and European universities.

They helped him identify and choose the best options for aerospace engineering, provided advice on application forms, cover letters, interviews, extracurricular programs and entrance exams, including Cambridge, Imperial and Delft.

He received several offers from the UK and the Netherlands and is heading to Delft (his first choice). They also helped him find accommodation (a real nightmare in the Netherlands).

For me, as a parent, one of the most important aspects was not having to nag or stress about application forms or deadlines: Louise and her team took care of everything, constantly reminding him of each step and what he needed to do. Invaluable!

Louise was wonderful in advising Alexandre. She was available when needed and extremely flexible. I highly recommend her; she will help your children (and their parents) make the right decisions and make their lives much easier. Thank you very much again, Louise.

When I started looking for universities, I really didn’t know where to start and felt really lost. Expat Student, and especially Tania, guided me through every step and clarified everything for me. She was incredibly kind and patient, always helping me sort through the different options until I found the right program for me. The whole process, which seemed overwhelming at first, became much easier thanks to their support, and I am extremely grateful to them for helping me secure a place at my dream university, in my dream program.

Louise and Tania were wonderful. Thanks to their advice, I was able to find master’s programs that were a perfect fit for me. Tania provided useful feedback on my applications, helped me establish a schedule that relieved the stress of applying and was always available when needed. From researching master’s programs to helping me obtain my visa, I highly recommend this service.

My daughter Poppy worked with Tania from Expat Student and I was delighted with the process and the outcome. From start to finish, Tania worked diligently with Poppy, first to help her decide which country she wanted to study in (the UK, we live in Spain), then they carefully studied courses matching her skills and abilities, and finally the university itself. In the end, Poppy got a place at Exeter for a joint honours degree, which turned out to be perfect in every way. I cannot thank the Expat Student team enough for everything they did. We could never have got there without you. I highly recommend to anyone in a similar situation!

Thank you to Tania and Louise who helped me over the past two years to apply to different universities in many countries. They supported me even when I didn’t meet my conditions and were a great help.

I highly recommend Expat Student to all students who have a plan to study abroad. Louise is attentive, responsive and gives very good advice. She helped my son choose the most suitable universities based on his profile and his plans. She helped him put together his application, and he was coached and prepared for the various interviews. Louise’s perfect knowledge of international admission procedures is a valuable asset. Result: several admissions to very good universities. And for us parents, what comfort and peace of mind to be able to rely on her. A huge thank you to Louise for her commitment!

Louise was recommended to us by friends. We contacted her for support for our daughter who wants to study veterinary medicine abroad. Always available, she was very professional throughout the preparation. From the first meetings in Year 12 when Louise perfectly identified the universities that matched our daughter’s wishes, to enrollment in the school of her choice, Louise and her Expat Student team were able to perfectly prepare our daughter and support her throughout the process with great efficiency and kindness. She knows the university system very well, the selection criteria of schools, and knows how to meet the expectations of young people who contact her! We highly recommend Expat Student!!

I met Expat Student at a student fair in Year 11 knowing that I wanted to study abroad. At the beginning of Year 13, we started working with Louise by first defining the different programs and then the schools that suited me. Subsequently we worked a lot on our own in order to perfect my applications. Louise supported and reassured me a lot throughout this process by helping me envision myself at each school. A big thank you to Expat Student who enabled me to join ESADE’s BBA!!!

We called on Louise from Expat Student to support our daughter’s project to study abroad after high school. I heard about Louise & Expat Student several times on a Facebook group of parents whose children study abroad. After almost a year of support, we are really delighted to have called on her. First, Louise was able to present us with the different countries that could be considered. She was able to listen to our daughter’s wishes but also to our concerns/limits as parents. She studied our daughter’s file and encouraged her to “aim higher” than what we had envisaged. The majority of the support was regular coaching, via video, with our daughter, to help her prepare the applications/exams/interviews for the different universities. Result, our daughter was accepted into her number one choice, a university we would not have dared to apply to before the exchanges with Louise. We are therefore delighted with this support and warmly recommend Expat Student for any study abroad project.

Louise was a precious help for us in enrolling our daughter in a veterinary school. We wanted to be confident in the admission process and we let Louise handle it. Her follow-up and support were of great quality. A big thank you! Our daughter is starting at CEU in Valencia in veterinary school in September 2025!!

Exemplary support for our daughter Juliette! We wanted to warmly thank Louise and more generally Expat Student for their professionalism, their attentiveness and the quality of their support throughout Juliette’s journey. From the first contact, the team was available, reassuring and extremely competent. Each step was handled with seriousness and kindness, from choosing destinations to administrative procedures, including the personalized support that Juliette received. Thanks to Expat Student and particularly Louise Fernet, she was able to approach this experience abroad with confidence and serenity. It is a real relief as parents to be able to count on such dedicated professionals. We highly recommend Expat Student to all families who wish to offer their children a successful and supervised international experience. Congratulations to the whole team for this quality and professional work!

A thousand thanks to Expat Student. We started a bit late but the support from Louise and her team enabled my son to go through all the steps to successfully complete his project. Motivation, guidance, unexpected events, my son was able to count on the team (and the parents too ) at all times. Cherry on top, having everything wrapped up and receiving offers before Parcoursup… I have nothing against Parcoursup, but I felt I had better control over my son’s choices with Expat Student.

I highly recommend Expatstudent’s services which were able to support me during my UCAS applications, but also for those to international universities such as Bocconi or in the United States. Their help is serious, of quality, they do not hesitate to provide additional help and they are very understanding. A good service to ensure success in university admissions.

Really great guidance support! I was lost in my future choices, but thanks to the personalized advice, I see much more clearly. They helped me get to know myself better, explore different paths, and build a project that suits me. In particular Louise F. who is attentive and always available. I recommend 100% to anyone looking for their path!

Expat student accompanied us step by step for university applications in 2 countries: the Netherlands and Canada. Good, regular follow-up, with my daughter one-to-one and with me for feedback and dates not to be missed in each of the countries’ processes. Contact via video/email or even telephone. Proofreading of application letters, advice, answers to our questions, dates and research for open days, important webinars. Good follow-up, pleasant and reassuring contact, I recommend.

Availability, flexibility, expertise, responsiveness, knowledge of the specificities of each school, targeting of applications vs our children’s expectations, they were successfully supported by Expat Student and by Louise, I recommend!

We chose support from Expat Student for two main reasons: the first contacts with Louise and her team which were immediately very professional and reassuring, but also the complementarity of their two profiles combining a very good knowledge of universities across the Channel, expectations, the UCAS procedure and the paths available to young people also in France to put them in perspective.

Expat Student gave me a much clearer vision of the different universities in the UK, and helped me find the one I would most like to attend. They were able to answer all my questions and helped me a lot in writing my personal statement. They really have an in-depth knowledge of how higher education works in the UK!

My daughter has received three offers for veterinary training programs. We would like to thank you for all the valuable help you have given her during these months of applying.

Expat Student helped us build a tailor-made application for our son, making the most of his potential. Thank you very much for your excellent support and expertise at every stage of the UCAS application process.

As I am about to leave for London, I wanted to thank you for all your help with this project. Everything is now in place to start the new academic year with confidence.

Both of my children applied to universities in the UK, and the help and support I received from Expat Student was invaluable. I believe it is important not to underestimate the requirements of universities, and Louise’s knowledge of the British university system is crucial. I really appreciated her experience and knowledge, as well as the fact that she remains calm and in control of the situation.

Louise and her team are truly committed to their students’ success. They are always attentive and available to answer any questions you may have. You can feel confident going into your interviews: the preparation is intensive but effective! Excellent communication from the start and a working relationship built on trust!

Availability, efficiency, and kindness: support that was essential for me to enroll in a Master’s degree in Philosophy in the UK. A big thank you to Louise and her team for their high-quality work and their commitment to helping me achieve my goal. I highly recommend them without hesitation!

Expat Student helped me prepare my application as thoroughly as possible. They provided excellent support, with lots of practice sessions and useful advice for interviews, which helped me feel at ease. Thank you so much for your kindness and patience, which helped me enormously and put me at ease!

We would like to sincerely thank you for your attentiveness, availability, and professionalism throughout every stage of the process. A huge thank you for the personalized support—these very personal choices require a great deal of humanity, and you have it!

Thanks to her expertise and knowledge of the English university system, Louise was always available, kind, efficient, proactive, and very attentive to our daughter, encouraging her throughout the year.

As parents, having Louise and her team guide us through our son’s application process to English universities was a huge relief. We were guided through the main stages and felt confident throughout the process that we had the necessary guidance and advice and would not miss any deadlines. As for our son, he particularly appreciated the supportive yet focused guidance he received in writing his personal statement, right through to the final draft. We warmly recommend your services!

Your extensive expertise in the field and in the Anglo-Saxon university system greatly helped us in choosing courses and universities. Your advice, your help in writing the personal statement, and your kind and serious encouragement throughout the process were reassuring for us as parents and very motivating for Joanne. A big thank you to both of you!

Expat Student really helped me get my higher education plans in England off the ground. Louise and her team were there for me every step of the way (choosing a course, choosing universities, UCAS, personal statement) and helped me approach this period of major change with confidence. Their kindness, friendliness, and expertise were also a great help in putting together my applications in Canada and France, which were my backup plans.
