Specialist help for your university applications
who we are
Behind Expat Student
Louise Thomson Fernet first created Expat Student to help high school students access higher education at prestigious UK universities and in doing so, join one of the best university systems in the world.
On the strength of this experience and in response to a growing demand, Expat Student has since extended its range of services and also offers support for students wishing to apply to courses in renowned universities across Europe and Canada. We also assist students who wish to extend their studies with a Master’s degree abroad.
It is with enthusiasm, determination and methodology that we guide each student to access the university that is the best suited to their personal goals.
what we do
Your pathway to success
Having accompanied her own children in their international university applications, Louise understands that the different steps to a successful application can be complex and difficult for students (and parents) who are not in that educational system or who are not supported by a great school counselor.
Thanks to Expat Student’s international experience, our support has a holistic approach based on an evaluation of the student’s academic needs. Our detailed knowledge of the universities, courses, campuses and application processes in the UK, Europe and Canada is key to your child’s successful application.
